Love Catalinbread pedals. The winners on this list that I either personally have myself or have tried are:

The Formula 5F6 (The "Tweed" Era): The 5F6 replicates the 1959 Bassman. Keith Richards is famous for his late-50s Tweed Twin and Bassman amps. This pedal gets that "loose," saggy, mid-heavy crunch found on Sticky Fingers or Exile on Main St.

Dirty Little Secret (The "Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out" Sound): In the late 60s and early 70s, the Stones (especially Mick Taylor) used a lot of British-voiced grit. Setting the DLS to "Super Bass" mode gives you that thick, woody Marshall tone that isn't too "metal," perfectly mimicking their 1969-1972 live sound.

Sabbra Traditional Ink Overdrive Specifically designed to replicate the "Rig of Doom" used by Tony Iommi of Black Sabbath. Basically Sabbath in a box. The pedal's circuit is a combination of two specific pieces of vintage gear: Dallas Rangemaster: A classic treble booster that Iommi used to push his signal. Laney Supergroup: The specific British tube amplifier preamp that defined the early Sabbath sound. JFET Technology: It uses JFETs instead of tubes to mimic the sag and saturation of a cranked tube amp.

Wanted to get my first one a while back but completely forgot which one I wanted to get. I've always heard good things about these pedals. I got my ultimate reverb pedal recently the wee bird from spooky circuits, highly recommend it for a reverb that is different from anything you have heard. I have it paired with a big sky, so that covers every reverb I need on my tube setup. I might try to add that STS-88 or a good phaser from Catalin.

I owned the Talisman for a while. I enjoyed it but ended up selling it on. I do sometimes wonder what it would sound like with my setup now, but I'm juicing my signal with a Tonex and am able to add plate reverb to that.

Gotta say, I never thought I'd find an Earthbound reference in a product listing for a guitar pedal, but here we are. Makes me want to buy one lol.

I own one. Really cool fuzz that works well on bass or guitar with the internal switch. It's like a big muff on serious steroids. Way more gain than the average human should need AND it has a killer clean blend on it that sounds fantastic on bass and interesting on guitar. I haven't used it in a while, but this is absolutely in my bag of tricks if I need something special for a studio session etc.
EDIT: I have the older version with the internal switches. I'm not sure how different this pedal is because it only has 2 knobs. It sounds pretty similar though and great if you are looking for a monstrous fuzz.

Quality post, would the 5F6 be good for the crunchy Let It Bleed sounds?

I would just refer you to this video so you can check out some of the tones yourself and then you can tell me what you think based on what you hear.
