Citation/mention fame — how often this gear is cited across artist rigs and gear discussion.The Catalinbread Silver Kiss mkII 2007 Reissue is a reissued version of the Portland boutique builder's vintage-styled treble booster pedal.

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.

The Artifakt provides three different distortion engines that span vintage silicon, vintage germanium, and modern high-gain tones.
