NICE
If someone could reverse that I would be interested. Very underated pedal IMO.

Catalinbread is great at cramming a bunch of parts into a small box-

Really? 'Cause I see a 3-band eq and I'm thinking this is the key to its popularity. From what I've heard, it's more of a flexible booster/eq and incidentally a distortion as well. Looks like a great job packing a lot of useful power into a tiny box to me. I think the relatively low parts count on the pcb is maybe a bit deceptive.modman wrote:seniorLoco wrote:what is that ?!!

The EQ on this thing was really nice. I had the first version and couldn't get along with it. Then a few days after I sold it Catalinbread announced a revision and upgrade. I got a hold of the second version and really liked it. Not sure why I sold it but played a Mk.II recently and it sounds like something may have changed again. I didn't look inside so I can't say for but that second revision was my favorite.

here's a plug. Still only a $120-170 pedal...
for what it's worth it's a nice demo. But you can get a nice clean boost from just about every $15 overdrive pedal in my experience. But the three band EQ is often overlooked in overdrives, though standard in a lot of "amp circuit" emulation distortions.
If you cannot call this a three band EQ TS, then it still is something to try. I don't know..

Compare with the Mark II American Edition in the large box, with extra switching.optionsMoreCowbell wrote:guts....

One of their better boxes, I've had trouble with some of their stuff in the past. This pedal restord my faith in Catalinbread.

Sorry we couldn't offer you an endorsement. I thought you and I talked this out? Cause I don't want any bad blood and it is not personal. I simply find endorsements manipulative of the normal folks who'd buy our products. Maybe someday I will figure a way around such a thing until then we wouldn't endorse god herself... But I do think your music is compelling. And I mean that. For all those interested check it out. http://www.myspace.com/theblackcrayons

Well then, would you mind sharing some pictures of both sides of the pcb?TheBlackCrayon wrote:One of their better boxes, I've had trouble with some of their stuff in the past. This pedal restord my faith in Catalinbread.

the moderators at the catalinbread forum gave me a hint.
They said the 3-Band Eq follows something like this: http://freecircuitdiagram.com/wp-conten ... ircuit.jpg

it was kinda bright and bland.. I didn't get to try a later version.

I have two of the early ones and they both sound totally different, both great but different, very under rated pedal. IIRC the ones I have are built on perf board or perhaps a self etched PCB, haven't opened either of them up for a while.
