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 Sidearm is a boost and overdrive pedal from Portland, Oregon, designed as a harmonic enhancer and level boost that adds presence and musical saturation at its gain ceiling. Provides clean boost through light overdrive with a transparent character that preserves the fundamental guitar tone while adding harmonic content and presence. Designed for players who need a reliable, musical boost pedal that sounds like more of the same guitar and amp rather than adding obvious pedal character. Made in Portland by Catalinbread.
The Catalinbread Supercharged Overdrive is a high-headroom overdrive pedal from the Portland boutique effects builder, sharing the same amp-voiced circuit philosophy as the Supercharged OD. The design emphasizes natural saturation, wide dynamic headroom, and pick sensitivity consistent with Catalinbread preamp-style overdrive approach. It delivers lightly driven clean boost through natural amp-like saturation in moderate overdrive territory, preserving guitar volume responsiveness and pick dynamics. Suited for blues, indie, and classic rock players who want expressive, amp-aware overdrive.
