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. Shown only within a gear class, and only where there's enough evidence to be meaningful.53% — moderately similar

The Catalinbread Silver Kiss Reissue is a reissued version of the Portland boutique builder's vintage-style silicon treble booster pedal. The Silver Kiss circuit adds focused upper-midrange and treble emphasis to the signal, designed to drive the front end of a tube amplifier into natural harmonic saturation. The reissue format makes the vintage Silver Kiss circuit available with updated components and construction. Suited for blues and classic rock players who want classic 1960s British treble boost character for cutting, naturally saturated lead tones.
The Catalinbread Skewer is a treble booster and clean boost from Portland, Oregon, providing precise upper-frequency emphasis and harmonic presence for pushing tube amplifiers into natural saturation with the classic treble booster approach. Designed in the tradition of vintage treble boosters but with modern consistency and reliability, the Skewer adds brightness, harmonic content, and singing lead character ahead of a tube amp. Associated with the vintage British rock tradition of driving British valve amplifiers with a treble boost. Made in Portland by Catalinbread.
