Catalinbread Formula 51 Tweed Champ-style Overdrive Effects Pedal Black and Silver

Unlike most amp-in-a-box devices, the Catalinbread Formula 51 features a preamp, a discrete power amp simulator and an output transformer to deliver the full touch-sensitive Tweed experience, with a grip of extremely interactive controls. The Sag control loads down the transformer to your taste, giving you some real-deal blown-out leads with the twist of a knob. The Tone control is straight out of the vintage amplifier playbook, incorporating the mid scoop control of the Framus Cobra amp. This time-tested mod essentially turns the mid-leaning Tweed profile into the mid-scooped "blackface" sound of later Champs. Run it at 18V for more headroom or stack it with other pedals and dig into the transformer.
