  • Catalinbread 5F6 made my fuzzes useless

    I've interested about Bassman type pedals for a year or two now, since I tried out Bassman model of Mustang in front of Orange. Huge hairy sound, (Mississippi Queen sort of).

    I di bought couple of "bass heavy" OD's back then that we're nothing like that, so I promptly sold them. Later I bought Tech 21 Blonde in hopes of getting close to that fuzzed out brilliance I remembered (had already sold the Orange). It had really weird annoying mids, and huge way too flabby sounding bass I couldn't dial out, so I ditched the thing and forgot about it.

    Since Catalinbread went out of business, I saw 5F6 for good price on sale in classifieds, I had to pick it up.

    It's exactly what I recalled. Set in front of distorted Egnater, it delivers that huge hairy growl along with Big Muff type sustain. It's perfect Fuzz sound, and practically made the two fuzzes I had useless.

    Brilliant pedal.

    I know it's meant to be a preamp pedal, but I have no need for that.

    Wait, when did Catalinbread go out of business? Their website is still up.

      Well, not yet out of business, but I got the impression the people actually building the pedals walked out and started their own company...

        Ah, thanks for the reminder, I vaguely remember the conversation. What is Gee's new company?

            Kittycaster, but they only have an Instagram post so far.

                I love my 5F6, but haven't used it this way. I have been using it as an always on, fattener, more better box, bassman-y thing, mostly for my Strat. I'm gonna have to try to push it into some other dirt. I usually keep the 5F6 last in my dirt chain. The 3 band EQ really helps me shape what is before it.

                And, I can't wait to see what kinda pedals come out of Kittycaster. Gee is a mastermind.
