Product Description
The Catalinbread Silver Kiss MK2 reissue is a compact, highly musical overdrive that gives you three effects in one: a pristine clean boost, a medium-gain overdrive and a powerful active three-band EQ. Voiced for a glassy, harmonically rich breakup and natural note decay, the Silver Kiss puts an op-amp drive engine up front that provides gentle clipping and a lively, singing top end. Dial the GAIN back and it turns into a transparent, whistle-clean boost; crank it up and you get a smooth, touch-sensitive overdrive that sits beautifully in a mix.
Key Features
- Three-In-One Overdrive - Clean boost, medium-gain overdrive and an active three-band EQ combine in one compact unit, giving you versatility without swapping pedals.
- Op-Amp Drive Engine - A tastefully voiced op-amp stage provides gentle clipping that brings out harmonics and natural note decay, ideal for expressive playing and dynamic feel.
- Powerful Active EQ - TREB, MID and BASS are active controls with wide, musical ranges that avoid harshness or muddiness and interact to create a vast palette of tones.
- Transparent Boost Capability - With GAIN rolled back, the Silver Kiss functions as a whistle-clean boost, letting your instrument and amp speak clearly while adding presence and volume.
Drive and Response
The Silver Kiss uses a front-end op-amp drive stage tuned for clarity and musical clipping. At low gain settings it acts as a clean, dynamic booster; as you increase GAIN the pedal introduces pleasing harmonic content and breakup without ever sounding congested. Note decay remains natural, so single-note lines bloom and chords retain articulation.
Active Three-Band EQ
TREB, MID and BASS are true active controls, offering far more range than passive tone controls while staying musical in extreme positions. TREB provides shelving control with a tight action that never becomes shrill. MID uses a wide, low-Q curve for broad tonal shaping that will not overpower. BASS adds or trims low end without turning things flabby. Set each to noon to remove the band from the circuit for a transparent boost-OD combination.
Practicality and Use Cases
Compact and pedalboard-friendly, the Silver Kiss is equally at home as a front-end boost, an amp-in-past-overdrive, or a tone-shaping tool before other effects. Its touch sensitivity and harmonic richness make it ideal for players seeking feel and musicality rather than aggressive saturation. Use it to push an amp, to fatten clean tones, or to add articulate breakup for recording and live work.
