“Dial in everything from a lush chorus to a crushing barrage of noise”: Catalinbread reimagines cult classic Alesis Bitrman as Bitters – “a multi-effects device on steroids” for guitar, synth and more

Catalinbread Bitters.

There are not shortage of multi-effects pedals for guitar but this new one from Catalinbread really is something a little different, drawing inspiration from the obsolete Alesis Bitrman to design a pedal that offers distortion, phaser and plus a third user-selected effect chosen from bitcrusher, decimator, frequency modulation and ring modulation.

There is also a Mix control for dialling in your wet/dry blend, and the sense that this is a guitar effects pedal like no other, precisely because it was inspired by a unit that was marketed to DJs and “table-top musicians”.
