“I have Ziggy, Stardust and Blackface Stardust.
They all have amazing ability to respond with guitar’s volume control and clean up so musically. I can cover a wide range of overdrive sound using those three pedals.
I also have Time MK2 Delay.
This is one of the best delay pedals in such a compact size.
Its sound quality and functionality are tough to beat”

Guitar Great Jim Campilongo is a happy user of Crazy Tube Circuits Starlight, Blackface Stardust and Vyagra Boost.
Here is what Jim wrote for Crazy Tube Circuits Blackface Stardust on his website
ìI brought the Stardust Pedal to my “High Space” 55 Bar show last night and it’s one of the best sounding, touch dynamic overdrive pedals I’ve ever played… The Stardust Pedal was very intuitive and it took me 4 seconds to dial in a great sound and a perfect balance… I was totally inspired by my sound all night.
The Stardust ìBlackface has what I’ve been looking in a overdrive for a long, long time. A pedal that gives me some great beefy authentic vintage amp sounds, without having to crank the amp to overkill settings.
