CROWTHER AUDIO Hotcake
CROWTHER AUDIO Hotcake
Our Price: $199.00

CROWTHER AUDIO HOTCAKE. Initial one made in 1976, while I was in the UK with Split Enz. The Hotcake is designed to leave the undistorted component of the guitar sound unchanged, while providing a nice fat distortion sound without resorting to a treble cut circuit which will also affect the guitar tonality. 

With the Drive and Presence controls set to minimum, and the Level at around 2 o�clock, you should be hard pressed to hear any change in the sound at all when you switch the Hotcake in and out.

You can get a clean volume boost by increasing the Level control. Increasing the Drive will give you a thick distortion sound with a little bit of edge to it, and the Presence control adds some mid-range punch to the sounds.


CROWTHER AUDIO Prunes & Custard
CROWTHER AUDIO Prunes & Custard
Our Price: $219.00

CROWTHER AUDIO PRUNES & CUSTARD. Guitar Magazine 2006 overall pedal of the year, this harmonic generator-intermodulator combines distortion with odd-order harmonic overtones. The Prunes & Custard is a two-stage circuit. There is a preamp stage , 
the gain of which is adjusted with the Drive control.
 
This stage is followed by a special waveshaping distortion circuit. There is some treble roll-off between the preamp and the special distortion circuit. The frequency at which this treble roll-off happens can be changed with the Guitar/Bass switch. 

CROWTHER AUDIO Double Hotcake
CROWTHER AUDIO Double Hotcake
Our Price: $379.00

CROWTHER AUDIO DOUBLE HOTCAKE. The Double Hotcake has two Hotcakes: �A� and �B� in one box. The A is a Bluesberry version, and the B a normal version (the �Bluesberry� voicing of the Hotcake has a slightly less buzzy edge at the onset of distortion, and often works well when guitarists have amplifiers with extra extreme treble boost, like some Marshalls for instance). Both have three knobs and a footswitch as with regular Hotcakes. If both Hotcakes are switched on together, the A Hotcake drives the B, and its controls are bypassed, but an extra Drive control is switched in to adjust the its gain.
