Crowther Effects is a pedals company based in the UK. Created by drummer Paul Crowther, all of these pedals are hand made. Crowther actually created all of his pedals in New Zealand, but they are shipped throughout the UK and the world. Today, the number of Crowther pedal users has grown to include such names as Stevie Ray Vaughan, The Melvins, and the Lemonheads. Crowther Audio has three major pedals: the Hotcake, the Prunes and Custard, and the Double Hotcake.
The Hotcake was Crowther’s first pedal, and it’s the most natural sounding of all the distortion pedals. It adds sound to your amp, but it doesn’t touch the tone. It gives you a great range of sounds, going from subtle disturbance to full warping. The Hotcake also comes in a Bluesberry version that features a throatier sound and works very well with bright treble amps.
The Prunes and Custard pedal may have a very strange name, but it creates a very interesting distortion that has a lot of odd harmonics and some interesting modulation. It’s more of a metallic kind of distortion than the Hotcakes provides, and it can actually wipe out almost all of your original sound and leave just the harmonics if you like. It works quite well with a number of instruments, including bass guitars.
Finally, the Double Hotcake provides two Hotcakes pedals in one. It gives players the ability to decide how much distortion comes from the first and the second pedal. You can set one for boost, one for rhythm, or one for lead…the options are endless. This gives you a great amount of flexibility and the ability to make some very interesting sounds.
The Carr Raleigh Boutique Amp is a very versatile amp that can be used for practice or in the studio. It can provide both clean and pristine tones and very heavily overdriven tones, but no matter which you want, the amp will deliver at any volume. The Carr Raleigh amp is somewhat based on the amps produced during the 50s and 60s. (more...)
The Carr Viceroy Boutique Amp, previously called the Vincent amp, is one of Carr’s classic American amps. To take care of one concern right away: if you have a Vincent amp, you don’t need to run out and buy a new one—the Viceroy is a change in name only. Everything else is still exactly the same. Just like the Vincent, the Viceroy is a 33/7 watt amp that features a number of great options. You’ll find controls for the volume, midrange, bass, treble, reverb, drive, and a switch to move between 33 watts and 7 watts. The treble and midrange controls give you many different tone possibilities, making this amp quite versatile. (more...)
The Carr Rambler 2x12 boutique amp produces some of the best, clean tones of any amp. In fact, some players have even gone on record as saying that they’ve never heard another amp produce such great tremolo or reverb. The Carr Rambler is one of Carr Amplifier’s most popular amps, even today, thanks to its ability to deliver some great, classic American tones, its clean headroom, and its solid bass response.
