FUZZ/ DIST- KITTYCASTER FX Groovy Wizard Fuzz Driver- unique & very refined

kittycasterFX
Groovy Wizard Fuzz Driver
$300.00 USD
The company started during the pandemic by four guys who worked for 
or even in other companies. The guy doing the demo Howard Gee, at one time years back did ALL the demos for Catalinbread. The pedal is part Fuzz part hardriver distortion. It uses both germanium and silicon transistors. 
The layout is Volume, Gain, Presence, and Contour which is in part 
a highpass filter. 
   CONCLUSION __
You can definitely dial in a very diverse range of detailed 
and totally usable sounds. It could be a dream pedal for 
many songwriters. Not for those with a mind set for the
classics or of those pedals that are really just beeped up  
spin offs. I can not fault it. It is not trying to compete 
in anyone else's race race of being best in category.

  1. Howard didn't just do the demos, he was one of the geniuses behind Catalinbread's circuit design, and why they've not done anything interesting since he left.

  2. I was not sure but any time but when they had a great sounding analog pedal he was the one who new every detail of it from memory which made me think it was him that designed it all.
