Catalinbread Manx Loaghtan Fuzz

This is a new pedal design from Catalinbread designed to replicate the sound of a vintage Ramshead Big Muff Pedal except with greatly expanded tonal possibilities. You can really dial in an amazing variety of tones on this pedal.It also stacks extremely well and cleans up with yer main volume control.

Well I figure I should at least give my thoughts on this beast: I really like this fuzz, definitely a keeper for the time being! The EQ has a ton of range though I usually keep bass and treble around noon, usually I roll back the bass a bit or it gets a little too boomy. The gain range is great, on lower gain modes, chords sound nice and full without losing definition. At higher gain settings this thing rips, very thick fuzz, but a lot tighter than my Fuzz War or ECT. I will note it doesn't quite have the low end punch the ECT and FW have but it compliments their tones very well.
