Catalinbread Merkin, fuzz inspired by the Mosrite Fuzzrite, typical 60’s fuzz sound. Silicon transistor, few controls but many sound possibilities, because it reacts very much to your playing and your guitar.

The Super Chili Picoso Boost pedal from Catalinbread is back for a limited time, and it’s available only at Sweetwater in the USA! The latest reissue revisits Catalinbread’s first-ever pedal build: a one-knob MOSFET boost that helped kick-start the intense demand for clean, minimalist enhancement. The Super Chili Picoso Boost pedal adds instant girth and touches of harmonic heat with up to +35dB of MOSFET power at your disposal. This latest update enhances the circuit with two new parameters: a tilt-style EQ for bass and treble sculpting and a Spicy/Mild switch that stacks a second MOSFET boost in series with the first for extra heat. Lower gain settings can spice up low-volume practice — imagine if your thin-sounding practice combo actually packed a punch!

Our Soft Focus wrote a new volume of all-in-one shoegaze tone, but we’ve gone above and beyond to bring you the final word in shoegaze, the Soft Focus Deluxe. The Deluxe model installs the missing delay function from the original FX500 patch, giving you exacting control over every parameter across six different programs. Dip your toes into a vast array of shoegaze textures and soundscapes with an integrated footswitchable distortion circuit, giving you the option to run it in series with or in parallel with the Soft Focus patch. We’ve also upped the stakes with a multi-function jack capable of expression control or tap tempo. Your shoes will never look the same again.

The Catalinbread NiCompressor takes the sound of a legendary vintage circuit for unmistakable timbre and extensive sound options. The compression control adjusts the level of compression in a straight line so that the sweet spot can be found quickly and intuitively, whilst the Gain control provides harmonic overdrive if desired. The Catalinbread NiCompressor also features a 2-band tone control that lets you precisely tune the sound.

We try out a lot of different circuits at Catalinbread when looking for new ideas, always looking for that spark of something special. During one such prototyping session, one circuit really stood out. We’re talking about a rare and obscure circuit known as the Harmonic Percolator. “Wow! There’s something to be mined here!” This circuit has the amazing property of generating predominantly even-order harmonics – which creates an amazingly sweet and clear distortion. 

You may know of this circuit from its use by Steve Albini, who owns one particular unit that apparently has magical properties no other unit seems to have. We could search for holy grails and chase rainbows, but we saw a potential beyond one person’s use of it. Oddly enough, the ‘Percolator has a reputation for creating an ugly sound, albeit a cool and ugly sound. But we found something beautiful in it. So beautiful that you could play complex jazz chords through it and every note rings sweet and clear. So, using the original circuit as the springboard, we created the Karma Suture.
