Catalinbread SFT Reviews

Catalinbread has some problems lately

I had a few versions of SFT before. My favorite one is previous, without a switch. But this one sounds nice too.

Sometimes I feel, like with my Telecaster I get not too much gain in stones mode, and too much in stoner. But overall it is good. A bit mid-focused, with loose low end. Stacks nice with Treble booster and fuzz.

What disappointed me, is that quality a bit off lately. On my pedal knobs are not the right one. Too small to cover shaft properly. Also, enclosure was not polished properly, so graphics looks pretty poor. Not a deal breaker, but I had 15+ Catalinbread pedals before, and non of them had quality issues. Also, for €200+ you could expect, that every aspect would be taking into account.

It's a beast!

I play bass with it. Responds sooooo good to my finger touch and playing dynamics, especially when you run it on 18V. My best sounding pedal on my pedalboard
