Catalinbread CB Distortion Pedal

Catalinbread CB Distortion Pedal Overview

This hand-built one-knob distortion effect pedal delivers a fat, juicy tone that can be easily tamed with your guitar’s volume knob. The compact size and top-mounted jack sockets make pedalboard integration a breeze.

1-Knob Distortion

Everyone remembers this scenario: You’re 14, and no matter what you do, you just can’t muster up convincing hard rock tones out of your tinny practice amp. You’ve pretty much tried every last trick you’ve heard from your friends and classmates that doesn’t involve money, until that fateful day when someone whispers that familiar mantra in your ear. “Something something… distortion pedal.” Your hair stands up as you realize that this is the ticket to the big leagues. You get ahold of one of these mythical creatures and discover that it’s still rather lacklustre. The Catalinbread CB Distortion seeks to avoid this moment, giving you a no-nonsense thick and meaty distortion that you can feel in your gut and satisfy the rabid hunger within you. With just one solitary volume control, you can get burly crunch at low volumes or dime it and use your guitar’s volume control to keep the action even.

Streamline Your Rig

Few things in life can compare to plugging in a guitar and playing your go-to riff on a gear setup that just works. Regardless of skill level or technical chops, or the sheer amount of gear, this is a feeling whose greatness is 100% agreed upon. Whether you have a rig with two amps, 30 pedals or just one, there is something to be said about turning on and rocking without having to twiddle hundreds of knobs every time. While Catalinbread can’t streamline the amp setup process for you or take the guesswork out of your existing pedals, Catalinbread can give you the next best thing: a series of stompboxes that have just one knob for a streamlined setup process, giving you that feeling of satisfaction each and every time you plug in.

Built With Love

However, don’t be fooled by the simplicity; each circuit was designed and internally set to the sweet spot so you only have to worry about the volume level, just bring your amp and guitar. Each CB pedal is designed to work with a variety of amps of all costs and wattages, ensuring compatibility with whatever you’re rocking. Like the rest of Catalinbread’s pedals, each CB device is hand-built right here in Catalinbread’s shop using the same high-quality through-hole parts as everything else. Whether you’ve been playing for three months or thirty years, the CB was designed for those that care about tone and don’t care to read an entire manual to get the show on the road.
