The Catalinbread Starcrash Sidearm is a compact utility pedal from the Portland boutique effects builder, designed as a smaller sidearm format of the Starcrash circuit. The Starcrash is part of Catalinbread's range of gain and boost tools built with their amp-voicing philosophy of capturing specific amplifier character and tonal behavior. The Sidearm designation indicates a companion or alternate-footprint version of the main circuit. Best suited for players seeking a compact boutique gain or boost tool from the Catalinbread lineup with the builder's characteristic amp-aware tonal design.
The Cornerstone Antique V3 is a third-generation amp-in-a-box overdrive from the Italian boutique manufacturer Cornerstone, designed to replicate the specific tonal character of vintage British and American valve amplifiers in a floor pedal. The Antique series is known for harmonically rich, touch-sensitive overdrive with natural compression and a musical, amp-like saturation character. The V3 represents the latest iteration with refined circuit improvements for improved dynamic response and tonal versatility. Handmade in Italy.
