Catalinbread has gone retro mad, refinishing a whole bunch of its vintage-inspired guitar effects pedals and launching them as the ‘70s StarCrash Collection – and unveiling pair of all-new designs that offer contemporary takes on time-honoured circuits.
Lending its name to this noble endeavour, and promising seminal fuzz pedal high-jinks in the style of a Fuzz Face, we have the StarCrash Fuzz – three-knobs, easy to use, with a bias control added for spluttery, gated, voltage-choked sounds. And it is joined by the SideArm Overdrive, a little green box inspired by another little green box, the Ibanez Tube Screamer, but with its own ideas of how this style of overdrive pedal should sound.
