CATALINBREAD / Sabbra Cadabra

CATALINBREAD, an American effects brand known for its commitment to vintage gear and the sounds of legendary guitarists, has released an overdrive pedal designed to recreate the sound of Black Sabbath's Tony Iommi. It's a sound that's achieved by increasing the amp's gain and leaving the treble booster always on, but you can change it simply by adjusting the volume and tone. This pedal packs all of these techniques into a single unit. Its simple operation will bring back that legendary sound.

When talking about the bands that have had the greatest influence on the modern rock scene, The Beatles are always mentioned, but perhaps no other band has been imitated as often as Black Sabbath. Their riffs have remained timeless for decades, and it's even said that they shaped an entirely new genre. And the man who continued to create the band's riffs was Tony Iommi.

One of the secrets to this is that he continued to create and play riffs over the years, and the other is that he never changed his sound. Tony Iommi always used a treble booster on his Laney amps.

Have you ever played with a Laney Super Group amp connected to a treble booster? There are probably very few players in the world who have had such valuable experience. And even if you do get the chance, it's rare to be able to play with the same explosive sound on a big stage as Tony Iommi.
Simply connect the Sabra Cadabra to a clean amplifier and instantly enjoy its incredible dynamic range, from clean to super-driven, along with the three-dimensional, juicy feel and supreme harmonics you'd expect from a huge stage.

The Sabra Cadabra can also be powered at 18V. Operating at a higher voltage increases headroom and sharpens attack. Conversely, lowering the voltage can create a softer tone. Try using low-voltage batteries or a power supply that can lower the voltage. Be careful not to lower the voltage too much, as this will result in no sound.

The Sabra Cadabra is made in Portland, Oregon. It features true bypass switching and is powered by a standard 9-18V center-negative adapter or a 9V battery.
