The Catalinbread Manx Loaghtan reissue brings a classic Muff pedigree back into service with modern enhancements that make it far more flexible than its vintage counterparts. Built around the celebrated Big Muff topology, the Manx Loaghtan refines the traditional circuit with a much more powerful EQ stage and careful component tweaks, delivering everything from syrupy, sustaining leads to tight, chunky rhythm tones. It is a thoughtful reimagining rather than a slavish clone, aimed at players who want the Muff voice but with control and musicality for contemporary rigs.

Tone and Circuit

Designed around the Muff idiom but improved where it matters, the Baxandall EQ and carefully voiced gain stages deliver a wide palette of textures. The Manx Loaghtan preserves the harmonic richness of the original while allowing precise shaping of lows, highs and perceived mids.

Playable Controls

The control layout is straightforward and highly practical. SUSTAIN behaves as a fuzz control but with a treble-retaining stage to avoid the dullness common in older circuits when gain is reduced. HIGHS and LOWS are set for musical ranges so each position is usable, encouraging exploration without frustration.

Power and Reliability

The pedal accepts a centre-negative DC supply between 9V and 18V; Catalinbread recommend 9V for the intended character. Using the wrong polarity or an unsuitable supply can damage the unit and void the warranty, so use the correct adapter first time to avoid issues.

Key Features

  • Baxandall-style EQ – A much more robust treble and bass shelving section than traditional Muffs, giving precise tonal control from bright and cutting to warm and full-bodied.
  • Musical SUSTAIN control – Acts as a fuzz/gain control with a treble-retaining subcircuit so you keep clarity and presence even at lower gain settings.
  • Versatile tonal palette – Tuned gain stages deliver chunky chords, long sustaining leads and even low-gain overdrive tones, making the pedal suitable for studio and stage use.
  • Flexible power options – Operates from 9V to 18V centre-negative DC (9V recommended) so you can tailor headroom and response while remaining compatible with standard pedalboard supplies.

Just Pedal Ingredients.

Fuzz — A fuzz pedal is one of the earliest and most aggressive forms of distortion, turning your clean guitar signal into a thick, saturated wall of sound. It works by clipping the waveform almost flat, creating a compressed, gritty tone full of harmonic overtones. The result is raw, unruly, and unmistakable — from the sputtering breakup of vintage germanium circuits to the searing sustain of modern silicon designs. Fuzz pedals react strongly to your guitar’s volume and pickup choice, making them dynamic tools for expressive players.Whether you’re chasing the classic tones of Hendrix and the Smashing Pumpkins or exploring heavy, experimental textures, fuzz remains a favourite for its personality and unpredictability. It can sound smooth and sustaining, or wild and velcro-like, depending on how it’s set up. A good fuzz pedal cuts through the mix while adding thickness and attitude, turning any riff or lead line into something bold and unmistakably alive..
