Catalinbread haters, anyone?

[sylnau]

They have some greate effects... I had the Heliotrope which was a great pedal.
I don't like there new design...

But... hate... no

[spitshaded]

Pretty big fan of Catalinbread pedals here, I've got five.

Fortunately I bought them before they went and fucked up their graphics.

& jacked up the prices too. I do like the look of the new Pareidolias though (reminds me of a black light poster)

I have 4 of them:
Supercharged OD: Ok
Formula No. 5: Love it
Teaser Stallion: Like it & found it more versatile than I anticipated (the distortion alone is real nice)
Manx Loaghtan: Love it. Great note clarity & maybe my favorite Muff that I own.

Aside from the Pareidolia (which I still may get someday, but my VibroChamp tremolo seems to satisfy that need) none of the others really appealed to me that much.

I don't know that they make anything that EQD doesn't already have a better version of.

Agreed. I do prefer the Manx over the Hoof though.

[insubordination]

I forgot, I did relaly like the Manx, I just don't care much for Muff...pedals.
The Pareidolia is definitely intriguing too.

nice to see someone who has tried both DLSes... could you write some more about the differences and improvements? please?

I would also like to know this. I love my Mk.1 and have no real desire to upgrade it, but you never know...

It's mostly a feel thing - MkII has more "give;" less "boxy" than the first one (as in less like a RAT, more like an amp). I also found that MkII had less gain (though Nic talks about it having more on tap ) and better low-gain versatility.

M0ntavillion sees cool, SFT is awesome, but they're totally overhyped, and I don't like their aesthetic.

Cool man, thanks.

[Gearmond]

yeah very few new designs are actually cool.

the Paradeilia is probably the only pedal i'd want now, but before i got the AB, i was considering a Teaser Stallion

I'm a fan.

Started with a SCOD. Huge fan.. it was my only drive for a long time. One of the very few pedals that actually made good on it's ad-speak in that it made my little 5 watt amp sound like a big ass angry amp.

Bought an SFT right when they came out and it was good enough for me to sell the SCOD. The SCOD and the SFT covered a little bit of similar ground tonally while the SFT had a whole bunch more versatility. Still have the SFT and have no desire to ditch it.

Also have a Montavillian. Not a big delay guy- just want something simple that sounds good. Perfect fit.

[Jenesis]

Yeah, the Montavillian is cool as hell. Great plug-and-play pedal, it's hard to find a bad setting.

[Gunner Recall]

The manx is a cool fuzz...it's pretty unique sounding, really defined chords that ring out and cut...which is weird for a muff.
I love the new manx graphic, kinda reminds me of mastodon.

[Jenesis]

I have to say, I've never even been tempted to try a C'bread fuzz. Dunno why, because I fucking love their ODs.

Nice chords with Muff-like heavyness? I'm interested, could you tell me a little more? Maybe I should try one. My problem with any Muff I've tried so far is that I actually love to play chords and until now every muff I've tried mucked them up.

+ 1 on the love for the new pareidolia design.

New PGS demo sounds good, the QOTSA riff might have something to do with that. The new design really does look nicer than the old, not the norm with most new Cbread finishes, imo.
