Crazy Tube Circuits White Whale V2: Enhanced Spring Reverb with Upgraded Power Amp and Dwell Control

April 16, 2024

FACE MI

Inspired by the match-made-in-heaven of vintage effects found on 60s American amps, the second version of the White Whale sets out a new objective to pack bigger real spring reverb and tremolo sounds in the same pedalboard-friendly enclosure (17 x 12.5 x 7.5 cm).
Crazy Tube Circuits White Whale V2: Enhanced Spring Reverb with Upgraded Power Amp and Dwell Control

The 3-spring reverb tank assembly housed inside White Whale’s enclosure has remained the same, but Crazy Tube Circuits has upgraded the power amp driving the springs for increased headroom and wider frequency response. Following the signal topography of vintage units, Crazy Tube Circuits has also upgraded the dwell control to allow users to dial the right amount of signal that goes into the springs for a mellower or splashier reverb sound. Real spring reverb found in 60s American tube amps and external reverb units featured a tube power amp driving the spring assembly via an output transformer, so Crazy Tube Circuits has delicately tuned an analog circuit to emulate the tube and output transformer saturation that was produced on higher dwell settings.

Need to know for Retailers
  • Real, analog (!) spring reverb and tremolo sounds in a very pedalboard friendly enclosure (17 x 12,5 x 7,5 cm).
  • 3 different flavours of spring reverb (long, short, medium)
    • Short to medium 2-spring reverb tank (“short”)
    • Medium to long 2-spring reverb tank (“medium”)
    • Long 3-spring reverb tank (“long”)
  • 3 types of amp style tremolo
    • Harmonic tremolo (shift between high and low frequencies)
    • Optical tremolo (shift between volume levels)
    • Tube bias tremolo (shift between volume levels)
  • Reverb and Tremolo section can be operated completely independently or in series
  • Change FX order: Tremolo into Reverb or Reverb into Tremolo
