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.
