Crazy Tube Circuits Splash Mk3

There often seems to be an extra level of ingenuity in Crazy Tubes pedals. Indeed, the Splash Mk 3 knocked us out with many layers of practical functionality stuffed into an otherwise ordinary-looking enclosure. With the help of a magic “excite” knob and a three-mode ’verb switch, the Mk 3 easily moves from subtle to super spacious.

In the years we’ve compiled our annual list of Premier Gear Award winners, we’ve probably never seen a list more eclectic than 2015’s. From high-gain monster amps and atmospheric reverbs to mini overdrives and wahs, 2015’s award winners covered all the bases.

As always, it was a joy to see how both big-time musical instrument industry players and little shops a step removed from the garage managed to haul in Premier Guitar’s prize for gear excellence. And if anyone’s counting, we’re pretty sure we also set a record for Premier Gear Award winners. So we hope you’re comfy—this list of primo gear may take some time to cover.
