Allow JustPedals to introduce the Catalinbread Galileo 4K Treble Boost Overdrive Pedal

The Galileo has always been about that legendary Rangemaster-into-Vox vibe, and the Galileo 4K keeps that magic intact — but now with a twist. Catalinbread have taken the EQ section from the previous version and turned it into a full-blown two-band Baxandall EQ, giving you way more control over your tone.

Here’s the deal: the original Galileo had a single ‘Tone’ knob acting as a treble control, while locking down the low end. Catalinbread experimented with an AC30-style tone stack, and the results? Absolutely glorious. This isn’t just a tweak — it’s a whole new level of tonal flexibility. You can now sculpt a huge range of Vox-inspired sounds that really come alive when you hit them with that classic treble booster circuit. And don’t worry, the punch, bite and character you love about the Galileo are all still here, just with extra versatility baked in.

Key Features

  • Treble knob: Think of this as half of the EQ stack from a Vox AC30. Crank it up and you’ll boost those sweet upper mids and highs (around 2kHz and up). Roll it back and everything above 2kHz gets flattened out for a smoother vibe.
  • Bass control: Adds depth and authority. Max it out for a boost around 100Hz and below or cut it back for a leaner, tighter low end. It even feels a bit like those ‘Depth’ knobs you find on some amps — super handy for shaping the bottom end.
  • Gain dial: This doesn’t mess with the amp circuit, it controls the treble booster up front. So, you can saturate the front end as much (or as little) as you like.
  • Volume knob: No surprises here, it’s just your trusty level control!

  • Current Draw: 5 mA (Minimum)
  • Dimensions (H x W x D): 1.93″ x 2.36″ x 4.33″

Boost

A boost pedal does one simple thing brilliantly — it makes your signal louder, stronger, and more alive. Whether you’re pushing a valve amp into natural breakup, lifting a solo above the band, or adding a touch more presence to your core tone, a clean boost gives you extra headroom without changing your character.

Use it at the front of your chain to drive other pedals harder, or after your gain stages to raise volume without adding distortion. Subtle or powerful, transparent or slightly coloured, a boost is one of the most useful tools on any pedalboard — small box, big difference.

Overdrive

Like a golden layer of melted cheese — warm, gooey, and just put it all over. It adds just the right amount of richness and grit, turning a clean signal into something smooth and savoury. Designed to mimic the natural breakup of a tube amp pushed to its sweet spot, overdrive delivers the flavour of classic rock and blues in every bite. From creamy mid-gain warmth to crisp edge-of-breakup sparkle, it’s the comfort food of guitar tone — simple, satisfying, and endlessly versatile. Whether it’s a mild crunch or a full-bodied roar, overdrive is where good taste begins.
