Catalinbread Formula 55 Tweed-Style 5E3 Preamp Overdrive Guitar Effects Pedal

Up for sale, a Catalinbread Effects Formula 55 in mint condition. Handmade in Portland, OR, this stompbox is an exact reproduction of the preamp section of a Tweed-era Fender 5E3 Deluxe, featuring an all-discrete JFET-based signal path and yielding a tone that is big and powerful with quintessential Tweed warmth and immediacy. The Volume and Tone are part-for-part replicas of the circuitry seen in a 5E3, and the Hi/Lo button enables instant toggling between cleaner tweed tonalities and a more aggressive profile that replicates the grit and power of a hot-rodded amp outfitted with higher gain tubes.
