Product Description

Looking for an overdrive pedal that you can dial-in to perfection? The Catalinbread Tribute might be just what you need! This arty-looking stompbox possesses an all-analogue circuit that combines an extremely expressive, high-headroom gain engine with an obscenely powerful and flexible TONE control — paying homage to one of Catalinbread's oldest designs, the coveted VariOboost!

The coolest part of the Catalinbread Tribute is that TONE knob. Its essentially a one-band parametric EQ control, which provides you with some serious, studio-esque tone sculpting power. Want to create a chunky rhythm sound? Select a low-mid frequency and crank it to really fatten up your tone! Want your solos to cut through the mix? Choose a higher frequency and boost it! You can also get really experimental with this feature, by creating a nasally "cocked wah" tone or simply making your single-coil loaded guitar sound like it has humbuckers — and vice versa.

Controls

  • DRIVE: The core of the Tribute is an exacting buffer followed by a drive circuit that is governed by a dual-gang potentiometer. This means that turning the DRIVE knob affects two parameters at once instead of just one. In the Tribute, those two controls are clean blend and overdrive gain. When DRIVE is rolled all the way down, you get your pristinely buffered clean signal with a gentle treble filter. When it’s all the way up, maximum gain is achieved with no clean signal present. Anywhere in between gives you a carefully balanced clean-drive combo that lets your tone breathe at all positions.
  • VOL: You like it loud? Good thing! The Volume control gives you plenty of the good stuff.
  • FREQ: This control is part of the original VariOboost circuit, and FREQ/TONE work in tandem. FREQ selects a frequency between 70Hz and 1.4KHz, which is then cut or boosted by the Tone control.
  • TONE: After dialling in the frequency, use this control to boost or cut the selected frequency by up to 12dB. This control is equipped with a center-detent potentiometer; just click it to noon and the frequency is flat; this means that nothing is boosted or cut regardless of FREQ position. Clicking the Tone knob to noon effectively removes the VariOboost component.
