Spoiled by the various tube driven echo units we have around the shop, we wanted the Montavillian Echo to sound and feel just as BIG! So we went all out on the audio path on this thing…We took painstaking efforts to make the dry signal sound and feel better when on than with the pedal bypassed.The M..

The Perseus Dio greatly expands on the concept of our original device, giving you a three-voice all-analog octave down device with adjustable octave filters. Three knobs control the mixer section, giving you one octave down, two octaves down, and a dry, boosted distortion. The Dry knob gives you a r..

Inspired by Black Sabbath's Iommi's Laney Supergroup amps and Rangemaster treble booster, the Sabbra Cadabra may well be the final word in nailing Iommi's tone from the foundation rather than the aftereffects. The Sabbra Cadabra can be run at up to 18 volts, which increases headroom and gives a shar..

Featuring a fresh take on the classic '79 "green overdrive," the Sidearm lets you tailor your drive sound to accompany the rest of your rig. The typical "green" overdrive features a combination of filters at different stages to give its characteristic sound. These have all been carefully adjusted to..

The Sinkhole is perhaps our most ethereal reverb unit to date. We’ve combined a harmonically-rich “hole” reverb with an impossibly deep four-voice chorus that’s been outfitted with a feedback control and a gentle high-cut filter. Within this arrangement, the feedback control allows the Sinkhole to r..

One of the most recognizable pieces of gear in classic rock canon is the old Hornby-Skewes Treble Booster, a version of the classic effect used by too many artists to list. While almost all of them used a Rangemaster, the Hornby-Skewes version came stock with a silicon transistor for a more biting s..

The Soft Focus patch on the Yamaha FX500 was widely used in the ‘90s by early shoegaze bands, most notably Slowdive on Souvlaki. With its roots in that patch, the Catalinbread Soft Focus is intended to be an instant shoegaze button, while addressing the most glaring issues of the original ..

The Soft Focus Deluxe installs the missing delay function from the original FX500 patch, giving you exacting control over every parameter across 6 different programs. Dip your toes into a vast array of shoegaze textures and soundscapes with an integrated footswitchable distortion circuit, giving you..

The Fuzz Face debuted in 1966 as a germanium fuzz and by the '70s was switched to silicon for circuit stability reasons but its circuit was barely adapted to its new semiconductors. In light of this, the StarCrash is the '70s fuzz you wish they would have made from the beginning. First, Catalinbread..

After having acquired more flangers than should be allowed by law, we sealed ourselves away in the laboratory to study the nuts and bolts of the effect. What emerged was the STS-88, a love letter to the flanger. Our development sector contains units of all types, from the ubiquitous Boss HF-2 and EH..

Era-defining plate reverb with studio-style controls. 479.99% smaller than the leading plate reverb. It adds lush ambience, dimension, thickness, and depth in an unobtrusive way.Listen to any recording from the 70’s and you’ll most likely hear the sound of a plate reverb, a giant mechanical contrapt..

Catalinbread are big on creating devices that serve as exacting models of vintage equipment, but part of reimagining old technology is stepping outside the boundaries of possibility. In the plate reverb realm, Catalinbread's Talisman already pushed the boundaries of what a real EMT 140 could sound, ..
