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 Montavillian Echo utilizes an obsolete delay processing IC, however, rather than slavishly following the path of that chip’s forebears, we cracked the books and ventured out on our own, using our ears to guide us, and what we achieved is a fantastic sounding delay, with a slew of sounds in a small, easy to use footprint. It has great headroom and stacking abilities, which are often shortcomings of echo pedals. We’ve run the Montavillian into all of our amps clean and cranked (Hiwatt, AC30, 5E3, Super Reverb, Blues Jr. etc.) we’ve also stacked it before our dirt pedals. We’ve even slammed it with numerous fuzzes and overdrives. The Montavillian handles it all with no effort. Should you need even more headroom, the Montavillian can be run at 18V.

Montavillian

Das Catalinbread Reverb-Pedal hat das gleichnamige Programm des Yamaha FX500 Multieffektgeräts aus den 90er-Jahren zum Vorbild. Maßgeblichen Anteil hatte dieser Ambient-Reverb am Sound der britischen Band Slowdive auf ihrem Album Souvlaki, das heute unter Fans des sogenannten Shoegaze-Stils als absoluter Klassiker gilt. Und das, obwohl die Signalqualität des FX500 laut diverser Aussagen im Netz mit heutigen Maßstäben nicht mithalten kann.

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 unit: no mix control, a sub-par preamp, and a ghastly tone-sucking bypass signal. At its heart, the Soft Focus is a heavily modified plate reverb with adjustable time, which is subsequently split into three paths. One path contains a multi-voiced chorus modulator, another features a well-appointed octave-up mixed in with the reverb, and the third path leaves the reverb untouched.

Note - The Soft Focus runs from 9 to 18 volts using a standard DC center-negative power supply for pedals. Make sure you’re using a supply that provides at least 100mA. Running the Soft Focus at 9V will sound great, but if you want a bit more output, a dry signal boost and increased headroom, try any voltage you like up to 18V! The Soft Focus does not run on batteries.

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.

this was like the last of his circuits and they are calling it Nic Compressor.. -let that sink in

The CBX gives you full control over a classic studio trick popularized in the ‘80s by Phil Collins and Bruce Springsteen known as gated reverb. Originally, this involved an SSL console’s talkback mic channel fed back through the console preamp and into a noise gate

CBX Gated Reverb

The Catalinbread Naga Viper MkII is a treble boost pedal that has gained popularity among guitarists for its ability to deliver a venomous voracity of treble boost. The MkII version has undergone significant upgrades, including the addition of an Attenuator control, which allows for better management of input signal levels and preservation of the iconic Rangemaster-emulated tone.

The Naga Viper MkII is capable of delivering a wide range of tonal options, from subtly sharpened to searingly scorched. With its Heat, Boost, and Range controls, players can dial in a tone that suits their playing style and musical genre. Whether you’re looking for a vintage Rangemaster tone or a modern, high-gain sound, the Naga Viper MkII is an excellent choice.
