Catalinbread Katzenkonig Fuzz Pedal
Fuzz Pedal with Filter, Gain, Volume, and Input Controls
The Feline Fuzz King
Katzenkönig translates approximately to "The Cat King" — and this fuzz pedal can make your guitar signal wail. It's literally the combination of a modified Tone Bender MkII fuzz and a Rat distortion pedal's clipping section and output buffer. While a lot of fuzz pedals don't appreciate high-output humbuckers, the Katzenkönig's precise circuit tuning and control over input sensitivity make it 'bucker-friendly and ready to pump out that awesome '70s tight, chunky rock tone. On the Katzenkönig you get Input, Gain, Filter, and Volume controls to shape your sound further, and it's all supported by a tough metal chassis with a pro-grade footswitch for superior durability. The Katzenkönig fuzz pedal can be powered by 9V battery or 9V–18V external power supply (neither are included), and running it above 9V may even give you a generous volume boost.
Modern controls for vintage-style tone
The Katzenkönig's topside knobs are easy to manipulate to achieve the sounds you're looking for. At the front of the circuit is the Input sensitivity control; think of it as preamp gain control, limiting as you choose the amplitude of your guitar signal hitting the fuzz section. Gain control lets you push your tone more toward distortion of fuzz, depending on where you set the knob. Built with companderless circuitry, the Volume control can be set low for late-night practice or cranked up for performance. And the Filter control, put at the end of the circuit, puts the finishing touches on your Katzenkönig's tone — clockwise for chocolatey cream and counterclockwise for enhanced brightness.
Gear that makes you want to play
The self-avowed gearheads at Catalinbread focus on making musical devices that they want to use themselves — "gear that gets us excited and inspires us to play." The result of that authentic focus and unwavering integrity is the type of innovation that isn't market-driven; Catalinbread creates its own market for products players love, whether overdrive, delay/reverb, fuzz/distortion, or tremolo/modulation pedals (many of which are available at Sweetwater). The Katzenkönig is a great example of Catalinbread's exciting, inspiring innovation.
