Catalinbread · pedal
The Catalinbread Antichthon is an experimental oscillating fuzz and tremolo pedal from the Portland, Oregon boutique effects builder. It generates self-oscillating tones and fuzz textures that respond dynamically to picking intensity, guitar volume knob position, and the Chaos and Rate controls. At high settings the pedal produces whistling oscillations, squeals, and ring-modulation-style tones independent of played notes. At lower settings it functions as an expressive fuzz-tremolo with rich harmonic content. Designed for experimental, ambient, noise, and psychedelic players seeking sounds beyond conventional overdrive.
