Citation/mention fame — how often this gear is cited across artist rigs and gear discussion.The Catalinbread SFT is an Ampeg Portaflex flip-top amp-inspired overdrive from Portland, Oregon, replicating the unique tonal character of the SVT-style Ampeg amplifier when driven into warm, harmonically rich overdrive. The SFT captures the distinctive Ampeg warmth, the characteristic deep low-end response, and the natural compression of the Ampeg design when pushed past clean. Effective for both bass and guitar, providing a warm, thick overdrive that differs significantly from both British and Fender amp-inspired designs. Made in Portland by Catalinbread.
The Catalinbread Silverkiss is a vintage-inspired overdrive from Portland, Oregon, providing warm, harmonically rich overdrive with a vintage character distinct from both British and American amp-inspired designs. The Silverkiss produces a smooth, warm overdrive tone with natural saturation and a particular emphasis on the harmonic complexity associated with vintage circuit designs. Part of Catalinbread's lineup of pedals inspired by specific vintage tonal characters. Made in Portland by Catalinbread.
