 Tony Iommi arguably had the most influential tone in the history of electric guitar. Really, when you think Black Sabbath you immediately think “Electric Guitar”. His early signature sound was the result of an always on treble-booster plugged into cranked Laney Supergroup amps. This approach to guitar is extremely rewarding and fun, but lost in this day and age because honestly who can really get away with the stage volume anymore? Far and few between! We designed the Sabbra Cadabra to give players that sonic experience, re-contextualized for today’s approach where players tend to use amps solely within their clean range at more mortal volume levels.

Sabbra Cadabra

The Maestro EP-3 Echoplex has been responsible for some of the most iconic tones in rock history. In 2020, we delivered a pared-down version of that preamp with the Epoch Boost. The all-new Epoch Bias expands on that circuit with a couple crucial differences. The Bias control simulates out-of-spec parts on the original, adjusting the base gain and body of the EP-3, which adds only a trivial amount of gain on its own. The new Filter control brings you the best of the early and late model EP-3, with a tasteful treble cut that lets you adapt the pedal to your rig and tone. Join us and experience the most refined version of the effect that launched a thousand discographies.

Epoch Bias

The self-avowed gearheads at Catalinbread focus on making musical devices they want to use — “gear that gets us excited and inspires us to play.” The result of that authentic focus and unwavering integrity is the type of innovation that isn’t market-driven; Catalinbread creates its own market for products players love, whether overdrive, delay/reverb, fuzz/distortion, or tremolo/modulation pedals (many of which are available at Sweetwater). The SuperCharged Overdrive Reissue is a powerful example of Catalinbread’s commitment to exciting, inspiring innovation.

Super Charged Overdrive (Legacy Edtn)

The Bicycle Delay was something like an “Albert Hoffman -the inventor of LSD, which we all love- moment” (to quote a good friend and guitarist Neal Casal). I sat down with no plan of where I was going but to allow myself the freedom to be open to wherever the journey took me and just document the experience. Really a strange path to travel when it involves something as cerebral as programming software. Or maybe it’s not. Maybe that’s a pure form of creativity, to use the boundaries something so matter of fact as programming as a medium for art? The result was a pedal as autobiographical as any I have been involved in. The Bicycle Delay is a physical manifestation of the experience of consciousness, letting go of the desire to control everything, and maintaining a positive attitude to leave room for a positive experience.

Bicycle Delay

The Cloak began after unearthing some ancient texts containing some forbidden incantations on how to introduce spectral elements within a decaying echo. Ok, we’re embellishing a bit; but the inspiration came from the land of academia and the acoustics department at Stanford, where a treatise on the optimal shimmer effect was penned a handful of years back. In a similar pursuit of perfection, we’ve drawn inspiration from a combination of research and our own endeavors to craft a truly superb take on shimmer reverb. At its core, the Cloak is a “room” style reverb that sounds amazing on its own, but with a twist of the Shimmer knob, rich, harmonically-laden overtones creep in, emphasizing three different orders of harmonics within the trails. A specially-designed low-pass filter steps in and smooths the harmonics out before they get too out of hand and wreck up the signal path.
