Similarity
citedBlended from circuit-archetype lineage, dynamic feel, tone-signal overlap and tone-vector distance — the tone vector itself is derived from editorial description text, not a measured acoustic signal, so this reflects how similarly the catalog copy describes the two, not a lab measurement. Shown only within a gear class, and only where there's enough evidence to be meaningful.

Description

The Catalinbread Carbide is a silicon fuzz from Portland, Oregon, inspired by the aggressive, buzzing silicon fuzz sounds of late-1960s British gear including the Sola Sound Tone Bender MkII and the early Marshall Supa Fuzz-era sounds. Delivers a grinding, harmonically saturated fuzz character with a distinct buzzing attack and broad sustain. The circuit covers the classic British silicon fuzz voice in a modern, reliable format without temperature sensitivity. Associated with Jimi Hendrix-era tones and classic British rock fuzz. Made in Portland by Catalinbread.

The Dunlop PSF30 Screamadelica Fuzz Face is a limited-edition silicon Fuzz Face Distortion celebrating the 30th anniversary of Primal Scream's landmark 1991 album Screamadelica. It delivers saturated silicon fuzz tones — aggressive, harmonically dense, and suited to the distorted, psychedelic character of early 1990s alternative and electronic-influenced rock. The circular enclosure carries the iconic Screamadelica sun-face artwork. True bypass.
