Fulltone CT1 Catalyst Fuzz Booster Overdrive PedalThe Fulltone CT1 Catalyst Fuzz Distortion Pedal has a power far beyond your standard Fuzz!
Along came a little thing called Catalyst, a tiny little Distortion Generator that has none of the drawbacks of your standard Fuzz pedal. It is an incredible Fuzz/Distortion (with toggle switch set to
Flame position) and works as a Phenomenal clean-boost, and overdrive as well (with toggle switch set to
Spark) The Catalyst has what is known in the company as a
Max-end-all 2 Band EQ that features an excellent hi-cut with a great Bass control having the proprietary ability to bring in incredible sounding midrange when the pot reaches around 3 o'clock on its rotation.
Fulltone Catalyst Features
- Operates as both fuzz distortion or clean-boost pedal
- Max-end-all 2 Band EQ with hi-cut and Bass control
- Raw and refined distortion with very few boundries
- Perfect Fuzz to combine with any amplifier
- Works well with wah and modulation effects unlike other fuzz pedals
So raw yet can be so refined, and so musically useable that it defies description and musical boundries. Don't be confused when you see this on Country rigs and Top 40 pedalboards, sometimes you get lucky and develop something truly unique.
Why try the rest when you can have the best?
Fuzzes can be a powerful thing in the right hands but can tend to be one trick ponies, where they can't do even a bad impersonation of an overdrive or clean boost. These pedals have major interaction issues with other effects like wah and modualtion (vibes, etc) and all seem to have a sloppy low-end. They have tons of bass/tons of highs but can't cut through a mix to save their lives and there are absolutely no mids if you want them.
Only Fuzzface-type pedals truly clean up when you turn down the guitar's volume knob, and even those get unusable bright for anyone not using a brown old Marshall 4-input, but they sound like horrible when you through a bright Fender-style amp. The Catalyst is far beyond these old fuzzes that you won’t know why you ever tried any other fuzz.
