The Catalinbread Galileo Red is a limited Red edition of the Portland boutique builder's germanium treble booster pedal, designed to capture the tone of classic 1960s British treble booster circuits used by Tony Iommi and Brian May. Based on the Dallas Rangemaster treble booster concept, the Galileo adds treble presence and drive character that interacts with the front end of a tube amplifier to produce the warm, compressed high-frequency boost associated with classic British rock. The Red edition shares the same circuit as the standard Galileo, differing only in its finish.
The Dallas Tuxedo was a British-made valve-driven boost and treble booster unit from the late 1950s, part of the small wave of early standalone gain devices that predated the fuzz and overdrive pedal boom of the mid-1960s. Units like the Tuxedo were built to push an already-driven amplifier harder or add treble emphasis for lead work, functioning more like an outboard preamp stage than a modern stompbox. Dallas would later become closely associated with the Dallas Arbiter Fuzz Face.
