Dagashi (snacks) are a very big thing in Japan – and Effects Bakery has been partnering with several companies in Japan like Suguru Foods. Their BIG KATSU is a tasty, crispy snack with a soft fried texture and a fragrant and rich flavor using an original sauce. Going all the way back to the Showa era, this unique snack has the appearance and taste of a breaded pork cutlet, or Tonkatsu. However, instead of using pork the BIG KATSU is made with surimi and flavored with various seasonings and a unique sauce to give it the special flavor. Effects Bakery Suguru Foods’ Big Cutlet Distortion is a high gain distortion pedal that has plenty of gain on tap for your crunchy and thick tones reminiscent of post-rock or shoegaze styles. The thick yet crunchy tone adds a sound that is UK-based, yet still original and unique, just like the BIG KATSU. There is a firm thickness in the midrange flavor, and the low end rolls off just a little to help create a unique and sharp texture. And with our unique TONE control, your tone can be fine-tuned to bring you the most delicious taste possible.
