Merkin
CATALINBREAD MERKIN What We Say: The Merkin is a fuzz box from Catalinbread that can go anywhere from a ‘clean-ish blend’ to a ‘full blown fuzz.’ To me it has a very 60′s Acid Rock kind of sound and a nice ‘buzzsaw’ quality about it. Definitely not one for the...
VariOBoost
CATALINBREAD VARIOBOOST What We Say: I like this! A selectable frequency booster that is easy to understand. Great for punching some extra mids in there for a solo, or some low-end to beef up rhythm tracks. This looks like a great, versatile pedal. What They Say: ”…Varioboost Preamplifier: The tone scalpel. Boost...
Teaser Stallion
CATALINBREAD TEASER STALLION What We Say: This is a cool looking pedal! The pedal is said to offer anything from a slight crunch to a massive distortion sound with an added feedback loop that can really thicken your tone. It sounds like an interesting design. What They Say: ”…Catalinbread presents the new...
Supercharged OD
CATALINBREAD SUPERCHARGED OD What We Say: The Supercharged OD is designed using cascading gain stages, instead of diodes or tubes, to create a natural, amp-like distortion overdrive that really packs a punch. It sounds real promising and I would love to try one out. What They Say: ”…SuperCharged OD The...
Super Chili Picoso
CATALINBREAD SUPER CHILI PICOSO What We Say: The Super Chili Picoso is the bigger, badder brother of the Serrano Picoso boost pedal. It offers upto 35db of transparent gain, plus an optional ‘FAT’ boost to add more low-end and ‘girth’ to your tone. Sounds good. What They Say: ”…As a...
SFT
CATALINBREAD SFT What We Say: The SFT was originally designed as a bass guitar overdrive, pfft, what do bassist need overdrives for? But apparently is also makes a fantastic, thick guitar overdrive too. A lot of research went into the design of this pedal, has it paid off? I’m interested to find...
Serrano Picoso
ATALINBREAD SERRANO PICOSO What We Say: Well isn’t that cute. It’s tiny! The Serrano Picoso is one of Catalinbread’s flagship boost pedals, it offers a fantastic 30db of transparent clean boost, enough to drive any amp into saturated bliss. What They Say: ”…A very simple, transparent, low noise, and extraordinarily...
Heliotripe
CATALINBREAD HELIOTRIPE What We Say: A strange box of noisy goodness indeed. Labelled as a ‘Harmonic Pixelator’ the Heliotripe is basically a bit-crusher of sorts enabling you to come up with some strange, lo-fi, fuzzy sounds. I’m not particularly a fan of this type of pedal, so I will let...
