OVERDRIVE- CATALINBREAD SFT ...an Ampeg-amp in-a-BOX ... nice change!

 CATALINBREAD SFT OD 
$190.00 USD
Ampeg were all about clean sound in the in the 60's. They looked at and borrowed parts and design from the Hi Fi scene to design there amps. Unlike HIWATT that wanted headroom but still wanted some dirt Ampeg 
only got dirty by cranking the crap out of the amp. lol But dirt or not that headroom slams you like a bat across the head.
Catalinbread put it all in a pedal. The V.2 added extra gain which opens up a whole new world.
The layout is gain, level, treble and bass which nails a classic Ampeg. A new added boost switch gives it enough gain that if cranked takes you in Metal territory with a much needed punch that you can not get out of the many pedals that are specialized yet do not have it.
CONCLUSION
It is great new choice. If I had it I could easily put it to use.
Check all the video's as it works in styles from vintage to
alternative.
On the other hand checkout the Menatone MenaWatt
$200.00 USD it has that wide open sound but there is
no denying its dead cool and familiar vibe of the early
70's king of amps sound.
