Effects have come a long way since the early 60's. Today, there's a seemingly infinite number of effects pedals to choose from, ranging from reverb and overdrive to chorus, delays, and everything in between. Simply put, effects pedals are a great addition to any player's setup, and Catalinbread effects are amongst the top-rated in the industry.
Hand-built right here in the U.S.A., Catilinbread effects have been manufacturing high-quality pedals since 2003. Their dedicated team of tone-obsessed men and women are continuously constructing superbly crafted pedals for players of all skill levels, ensuring that everything made is built-to-last through countless hours of play.
As mentioned, tone is extremely important to the makers of Catalinbread effects, but within their excellent selection of effects, you'll notice quickly that a great deal of effort is also put into each pedals appearance. Take the Catalinbread Manx Loaghtan guitar effects pedal for example. With one simple look at this monster, you can tell that it was made to bite... and it certainly does. This pulverizing fuzz box is a perfect replication of the classic Big Muff, and in many ways it manages to take the crunch of its predecessor even further. Another killer option is the Catalinbread Octapussy. A reinvention of the octave fuzz, this pedal gives you the same famous high-octave lead tones high up on your guitars neck, as well as a fantastic range of fuzz tones on the rest of the neck. Overall, this pedal is simple to use and tremendous in power.
You don't have to be the greatest guitar player to own an effects pedal. In fact, that's what makes them so great to begin with. With the simple click of a footswitch, you can go from a clear and clean rhythm to an ear-splitting, feedback drenched guitar solo. So whether you're playing in front of thousands or making noise in the basement, guitar effects are a fun way to expand your musical horizons. And without a doubt, the perfect pedal for you can be found courtesy of Catalinbread effects.
