Renowned for shaping the sound of countless classic recordings, the A-Range console's discrete germanium-and-transformer-based preamp is celebrated for its harmonic richness and tonal versatility. The Airstrip faithfully captures these qualities, offering everything from pristine cleans to saturated, harmonically rich distortion. With its vintage-inspired op-amp design, transformer-based circuitry, and tailored treble filter, this pedal provides a dynamic range of tones that enhance your rig's sonic character. Whether you're after warm, studio-polished cleans or searing, fuzz-laden textures, the Airstrip delivers studio-quality tone in a pedalboard-friendly format.</p> <h3>Push Control for Dynamic Gain Response</h3> <p>The Push knob is the heart of the Airstrip, transforming it from a subtle tone enhancer to a roaring fuzz machine with a simple twist. Set at lower levels, it introduces soft saturation and pleasing harmonic complexity, ideal for adding depth to clean tones. As you increase the control, the pedal pushes into aggressive, amp-like distortion, delivering tones reminiscent of collapsing preamps and vintage console overload. This dynamic gain response makes the Airstrip an ideal choice for players seeking a range of textures, from understated warmth to full-blown grit.</p> <h3>Vintage-Inspired Volume Control</h3> <p>The Volume control on this preamp pedal is more than just a level knob—it shapes your sound with a tailored tonal profile designed to replicate a "mastered" sonic character. At its lowest settings, it functions as a robust clean boost, adding volume and clarity without unwanted coloration. Crank the Volume, and the pedal enhances your signal with punchy lows, a focused midrange, and a polished high-end sheen. This feature ensures your guitar cuts through the mix with authority, whether you're recording or performing live.</p> <h3>Treble Filter for Tonal Adjustment</h3> <p>The Airstrip's Filter control offers a gentle treble roll-off or boost, allowing you to fine-tune the pedal's tonal balance to suit your rig. At its minimum setting, the Filter cuts high frequencies, delivering a warmer, more rounded tone. Turn it up, and the control adds a shimmering top-end sparkle that enhances clarity and presence. This tonal flexibility ensures the Airstrip integrates seamlessly with any amplifier or guitar configuration, delivering the perfect balance of warmth and brilliance.</p> <h3>Durable Build for Studio and Stage</h3> <p>With its compact, lightweight design and high-quality construction, the Airstrip console pre pedal is built to withstand the rigors of both studio and stage use. The pedal's rugged enclosure protects its finely-tuned circuitry, while its compact dimensions make it easy to integrate into any pedalboard setup. Weighing just 0.4 lbs., this preamp pedal is highly portable without sacrificing performance. Its robust design ensures reliable operation, making it a dependable tool for musicians who demand consistency and durability in their gear.</p> <h3>Studio-Grade Tones in a Compact Design</h3> <p>The Catalinbread Airstrip console pre pedal brings the iconic sound of vintage recording consoles to your pedalboard. Its wide tonal range, from clean to saturated, makes it an essential tool for shaping your guitar's sound. Whether you're in the studio or on stage, the Airstrip delivers professional-grade tones with simplicity and precision. Add it to your rig and experience the harmonic richness and tonal versatility of a world-class console preamp.</p>", "value":"252.00", "priceMin":"252.00", "priceMax":"252.00", "priceSavingsMaxPrice":"0.00", "priceSavingsMaxPercent":"0", "inventory":"5", "brand":"Catalinbread", "reviewStarImageUrl": "https://static.musiciansfriend.com/img/brand/mf/cmn/Sprit-Sm-Stars.png", "reviewStarRating":"0.0", "reviewStarRatingInteger":"0", "reviewHowManyReviews":"0", "usedOrNew":"new", "discontinued":"0", "onOrder":"0", "clearance":"0", "canBeSold":"1", "accessoryCategories":"site1LM,site1LDXB,site1LIH,site1LFN,site1LKA", "stickerText": ""}
