In the past, the most exciting thing for guitarists was to increase the gain of their amp. When the amp didn't have enough gain, a treble booster would push the amp. Let's take a look at two guitarists who used treble boosters to create legendary tones: Brian May (Vox AC30 + treble booster) and Tony Iommi (Laney Super Group + treble booster). While their sounds are completely different, their tone-shaping techniques are nearly identical. Both turned up the gain on their amps and kept the treble booster on all the time. And they only adjusted their tone with the guitar's volume and tone controls. At Catalinbread, we set out to develop a pedal that combines this beautifully simple structure into a single pedal. We combine an amp-in-a-box with an optimally tuned treble booster circuit. Treble boosters can produce a fantastic tone when used properly, but they are often avoided due to their difficulty in use. By doing this, you can always get the best tone without worrying about balance or getting too loud. Simply connect the pedal and play to relive that sound. And so Catalinbread Galileo and Sabbra Cadabra were born. While The Beatles are invariably mentioned as the most influential band on the modern rock scene, perhaps no other band has been more imitated than Black Sabbath. Their riffs have remained relevant for decades, and some even say they shaped an entirely new genre. And the man who continued to create those riffs was Tony Iommi. One of the secrets is that they kept writing and playing riffs over the years, and the other is that they didn't change the sound. Tony Iommi always used a treble booster on his Laney amps. Have you ever played with a Laney Super Group amp connected to a treble booster? There are probably very few players in the world who have had that experience. And even if you do, it's rare to experience the explosive sound of Tony Iommi on a big stage. Simply connect the Sabbra Cadabra to a clean amp and you'll instantly get an incredible dynamic range from clean to superbly driven, as well as the three-dimensional, juicy feeling and supreme harmonics you'd expect to experience on a huge stage.Specifications: Adapter: 9-18V center negative Battery: 9V battery Current consumption: 5mA Controls: PRESENCE, GAIN, VOL, RANGE
