{"product_id":"864200","title":"catalinbread USED GALILEO","description":"We've got a used Catalinbread treble booster in stock!!\u003cbr\u003e Back in the day, the most exciting thing for a guitarist was turning up the gain on their amp. When the amp didn't have enough gain, a treble booster would push it.\u003cbr\u003e Let's take a look at two guitarists who built legendary tones using treble boosters: Brian May (Vox AC30 + treble booster) and Tony Iommi (Laney Super Group + treble booster). Their sounds are completely different, but their tonal techniques are almost identical. Both of them increase the gain on their amps and keep their treble boosters constantly on. And they adjust the tone using only the guitar's volume and tone controls.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e At Catalinbread, we began developing a pedal that combines this beautifully simple configuration into a single unit. It combines an amp-in-a-box with an optimally tuned treble booster circuit. Treble boosters, which can produce the best tone when mastered, are sometimes avoided due to their difficulty in handling. With this design, you can always get the best tone without worrying about balance or excessive volume. Just plug in the pedal and play, and that sound will be revived.\u003cbr\u003e That's how Catalinbread Galileo and Sabra Cadabra were born.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e There's something special about the Vox AC30 and a treble booster. Hitting the AC30 with a treble booster produces an incredibly sharp and resonant sound. The midrange creates a superb distortion, and the harmonics blend beautifully. Turning down the guitar's volume opens up an even wider world of Vox amps. It's an aggressive, roaring sound, yet simultaneously possesses a bell-like resonance. The Catalinbread Galileo MkII can create that compelling sound.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Brian May's tone has been studied by many players for years. The combination of a Dallas Rangemaster and a Vox AC30 is considered the starting point, and it has been said to be difficult for players without an AC30 or Rangemaster to recreate that sound.\u003cbr\u003e The Catalinbread Galileo MkII has overcome that challenge. This pedal combines the tones of a properly tuned Rangemaster and AC30 to produce a tone that is truly Brian May's.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The AC30's preamp circuit, with the vacuum tubes replaced by JFETs, is also used in the Galileo MkII. A fully tuned Rangemaster-style circuit then hits that preamp circuit. This is the secret to the Brian May tone. The two circuits react to each other, resulting in a complex amp tone that's like a midrange jungle.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cused item months from the date of purchase consumables warranty:=\"\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ccondition: scratches and signs of use but no problems with functionality\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003caccessories: box\u003e\u003c\/accessories:\u003e\u003c\/condition:\u003e\u003c\/used\u003e","brand":"catalinbread","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44528585375857,"sku":"864200","price":155.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0638\/4173\/0673\/files\/864200_01.jpg?v=1789109150","url":"https:\/\/global.ikebe-gakki.com\/products\/864200","provider":"Ikebe Musical Instruments Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
