We (Literally) Could NOT Afford These Tones......Until NOW!

Crazy Tube Circuits - Unobtanium | Ep. 18 - Golden Age of GearThis week, Joey and Derek dig into one of the most talked-about dual overdrives out there: the Unobtainium by Crazy Tube Circuits. On one side, you get a Klon-style circuit. On the other? A Dumble-inspired drive with a switch to toggle between Steel String Singer and Overdrive Special tones.We compare the standard version to the RAW edition (complete with OG germanium diodes), talk about how they differ in tone and feel, and explore whether stacking both sides creates something magical—or just melts your amp.Along the way, we dig into how close the Dumble side gets to the real thing, whether the Klon comparisons hold up, and why gear needs to sound great with all the knobs set at noon. Joey also shares a bit about his first experience with Crazy Tube Circuits at the Duesenberg HQ in Germany.Let us know in the comments if you’ve tried anything from Crazy Tube Circuits—or if there’s a local builder from your part of the world we need to check out!👉 Subscribe for more gear deep dives every week.
