From the years of 1966 to 1968, Mosrite produced two distinct fuzz circuits, one outfitted with silicon transistors, the other with germanium parts. Of the two, the germanium version is by far the most rare, with original designer and Mosrite employee Ed Sanner estimating that around 250 ever made i..
Captures the regal and soaring tones of a Rangemaster Treble-Booster into a cranked up Vox AC30"Queen in a box" Brian May’s sonic signature not only comes from his home built “Red Special” guitar, but also from a treble-booster pummeling banks of AC30s. He never turns the treble booster off, ac..
It's the combination of a Tone Bender MkII fuzz with a Rat distortion to create something that sings like a fuzz but is tight like a distortion, from a really beautiful singing tone, to tight, harmonically-rich crunch, all the way to fuzz mayhem. The Input knob controls the input sensitivity and ada..
The Many Worlds is an eight-stage phaser with eight selectable phase control parameters, six LFOs and two envelope-dependent phase shift modes. Yes, you can get classic, swirly and rich, vibe-esque phaser sounds from the Many Worlds. The fun doesn’t stop there, however; we take you on a multi-v..
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 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..
"Tremolo" is only scratching the surface. With 8 unique programs, the Tremolo8 shows you what volume modulation is truly capable of.In a past life, this project started as a pedal for our personal enjoyment; a digitized model of the Fender Showman’s "harmonic vibrato". The experiment was a resoundin..
