 The Octapussy is essentially, an octave-up fuzz in the tradition of the Octavia. But it’s not a clone of that circuit! Nope, it’s an original circuit utilizing 3 silicon transistors and two diodes that takes the tradition to the next level! The preamp section is custom voiced to give you an extremely dynamic playing response. You’ll get those famous high-octave lead tones up high on the guitar neck but you’ll also get an amazing array of fuzz tones anywhere else on the neck – just by how you play it and how your GUITAR’s volume, tone, and pickup selector is set.

Octapussy

The Heliotrope is an “analog bit crusher” of sorts. Since there is no analog to digital conversion happening it isn’t a true bit crusher, hence the name “Harmonic Pixelator”. It works with guitar, bass, keyboards, etc. We designed the pedal to be intuitive and easy to use even though what it is capable of sonically is actually quite complex and varied.

Heliotrope

Mit Reglern für Volume, Tone und Gain sowie einer Schaltung, die klassischen Tweed-Verstärkern der 50er Jahre nachempfunden ist, serviert der Catalinbread Formula No. 5 eine große Portion tiefen, düsteren Overdrive, ohne dabei ins Schwitzen zu kommen. Als eigenständiger Overdrive, aber auch als exzellente Boost-Ergänzung zu Ihrem Verstärker oder Fuzz, ist dieses vielseitige Pedal auf jedem Pedalboard zu Hause.

Featuring controls for volume, tone and gain as well as circuitry based on classic '50s tweed amps, the Catalinbread Formula No. 5 serves up a big slice of low, gritty overdrive without breaking a sweat. Great as a standalone overdrive unit but also an excellent boost complement to your amp or fuzz, this is a versatile pedal at home on any pedalboard.

Formula No. 5

Catalinbread’s Talisman plate reverb is touted as a homage to the plate reverbs of the 70s, famously used on Pink Floyds iconic Dark Side of the Moon album. To clarify, according to Musician on a Mission, plate reverb is “a clever way of imitating the way sound reverberates through a room. Plate reverb units are big, enclosed cases. Hanging inside of the case is a thin metal sheet, aka the “plate.” When a sound is played into a plate reverb unit, vibrations inside of the case create the illusion of reverb“.

Talisman

The Topanga Burnside has all the springy, surfy mojo of the original Topanga but now features a Trem knob that controls the rate of a lush tremolo effect. We revisited the original Topanga and found that placing the tremolo between cascading reverb stages yielded the best results––the effect is not too choppy; not too washed out. Many surf rock and skate punk bands use spring reverb, tremolo or both simultaneously in order to get their sounds, and the Topanga Burnside is a nod to them.

Burnside is a reference to the famous Burnside Skatepark in Our hometown of Portland, OR. (shoutout to Tony Hawk's Pro Skater).
