    My Crazy Tube Circuits Constellation has been delivered today. I played with it for a couple of hours in combination with my 1987X now, and I already love this pedal.
    Not only the excitement it adds to the glassy clean tone is amazing. Once set it, I kept the gain settings and volume settings on pedal and guitar to the same level, stayed on the neck pickup and just turned the knob to 2:Tone Bender MkII and here we go. This slightly broken sounding tone that reacts to every, even ever so subtle move of my fingers jumped out of my cab. Awesome! I love it.
    Thanks for pointing my toward this great pedal!

    You can also get the glassy highs from a silicon transistor fuzz face, but the fuzz will impart a slight overdrive with the guitar volume rolled back. Germanium transistors in a fuzz are usually lower gain :)
    If you use humbuckers a silicon fuzz might be easier to work with fwiw

    I love the clamp - what a simple solution to getting a good PIP of a pedal where you can still get your hands on it! I’ve used a music stand in the past. Love the unobtrusive aspect to that! I just got a 5x7 green screen panel which I plan to get stupid with. I’ll likely overuse it at first - like when you get your first chorus pedal and it’s also the 80’s. 😜

    5:07 Yes! germanium fuzz and volume knob is supposed to be a secret! Kidding, but Its crazy when one realizes this . The mxr Hendrix Fuzz Face germanium is great. This constellation uses the same transistor as a RM style pedal prototype I received from Tony Iommis guitar tech Mike Clement in 2014. "RM3v". 3 position switch and a volume knob. A great boost from a great guy! I thought it was going to be just Sabbath tone, but its more! This is on my list, now. Thanks Pete!

    Thanks for the awesome video where I found my current new fuzz favorite which also includes the treble booster I want. NOTE 10:12 DOES your GUIT just go to the Constellation via a buffered TC tuner? Is the buffer turned off because it interferes with the operation of a traditional fuzz? Or is there a Constellation "Fuzz" that needs to be seen electronically directly on the guitar's microphones to work best, as you mentioned somewhere? It would also be interesting to know which transistors have been used in the position of the selector switch for different fuzzies? Thanks for the great information! Cheers!

    Nice tones, but the sound that really caught my ear was that bass. Warwick huh? I want a fuzz and and treble booster and this kills two birds with one stone. But I also want to build those pedals as beginner projects, because I just got a Captor and want to build amp heads to run into it. Trouble is that all the parts have to be imported. Down side of living in NZ. Not many of those but that is one of them.

    Do you think this pedal would sound any good in front of a Fender Twin ? You demonstrated with a Marshall, I wondered if you did that trick where the Amp's edge of break up setting helps make the pedal sound great, and wondered if that works with a Fender Twin as well.

    Hi Pete, I have a quick question. The Constellation requires a positive-ground power supply and on my pedal board all other pedals are powered by a daisy-chained negative-ground power supply. Would it work if I use a reverse polarity adapter cable on my daisy chain?

    • @marmelaki
      @marmelaki 4 года назад

      Well, to anyone that's interested in purchasing the Constellation you should know that it requires its own isolated supply; coming either from a multi-power supply brick or its own ac adapter. The reverse polarity adapter I mentioned in my original post will not work, neither will a daisy-chain connection. In fact, it may damage the pedal. Oh, and you can always use a 9V battery ;-)
