Featuring a plethora of useful options, the Giygas gives you everything you’ve ever wanted in a fuzz box, along with some stuff you never knew you wanted (but deep down, you totally knew).  The core of the fuzz circuit is brawny and fierce, yet with plenty of violin-like sustain and articulation on tap, and the entire thing is wrapped in a clean blend circuit. From there, the fuzz gets catapulted into a gyrator-based mids boost, and then into a tilt EQ circuit. With the blend rolled all the way back, you can use just the powerful high-headroom EQ to sculpt your clean tone. A horde of options await you under the hood, ones that will make our four-stringed friends extremely happy.

Manual

GIYGAS

 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, accessing a wide range of tones simply by manipulating his volume knobs and pickup settings. From his guitar, to the treble booster, to the amps, his entire rig is essentially a singular musical instrument. One that inspires the sort of playing May is known for. We designed the Galileo with this playing approach in mind, that with it you can roll your guitar volume back for jangly AC30 cleans, and crank it up for searing leads and aggressive yet focused rhythm tones.

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.

Soft Focus DLX

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!
