Blended 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.

The Catalinbread Naga Viper is a Dallas Rangemaster-inspired treble booster from Portland, Oregon, designed to add brightness, harmonic presence, and singing upper-register character to the guitar signal when driving vintage British tube amplifiers. The Naga Viper provides the treble emphasis and harmonic content that makes humbucking pickups sing and cut through a driven tube amp with the character associated with 1960s British lead guitar tones. Associated with the tonal tradition of Eric Clapton, Tony Iommi, and early British rock guitar. Made in Portland by Catalinbread.
The Catalinbread Silver Kiss mkII 2007 Reissue is a reissued version of the Portland boutique builder's vintage-styled treble booster pedal. The Silver Kiss is a silicon transistor-based treble booster designed to add upper-midrange and treble emphasis and natural harmonics when driving a tube amplifier front end. The 2007 reissue recreates the mkII circuit with updated components in a compact modern enclosure. Suited for players seeking the classic 1960s British treble booster character used in blues and classic rock for cutting lead tones and natural tube amp saturation.
