The Chef at JustPedals is happy, the Catalinbread SFT Bass or Guitar Drive Pedal is in stock and is ready to dish out. Arriving with you direct to the door and freshly made by Catalinbread. delivered by our tracked roadie service this is just a fresh pedal from a tasty brand, its available and in stock. Pedal Drive Guitar or Bass SFT Guitar Effect Pedal.

When they got the idea for this pedal Catalinbread were trying to create a powerful bass overdrive based on the Ampeg flip-top style amplifier. THough during production of the SFT they realized that it works great for bass and guitar tones especially when you drop tune your favourite 6 string.

Simple Controls Incredible Range

The Catalinbread SFT has a simple 4 knob control layout that is easy to learn and under the hood has a lot of small nuances that let you get a wide range of sounds. All four of the controls do as you would expect being labeled Gain, Volume, Treble and Bass so you can instantly pick it up and get playing.

The Tones

The Ampeg flip-top style amplifiers were well known for being able to deliver some incredible high gain sounds for rock bassists, but over the years guitarists have used them as well for low tuned high gain sounds when they want to keep all the low end in their tone. Although it is known for being able to fill even the biggest mixes with high gain wonder turning down the gain produces a really nice subtle overdrive that many will love.

2016 Version Updates

There has been a small change to the SFT for 2016 that actually adds quite a lot of new tones. The Stones/Stoner switch was designed to take you between two different distortion levels. Think one side is the Rolling Stones and the other is Stone Temple Pilots. Soft vintage clipping to more modern aggressive tones that push through the mix a lot harder.

Here’s what Catalinbread say about the STF Overdrive

When we originally set out on our quest to make the best Bass overdrive ever, we never imagined that it could also sound so amazing with guitar – but then we got to thinking about some of the classic late ’60s/early ’70s ‘Ya-Yas’ era tones and thought we should take a stab at them. And heck while we’re at it, it would be really cool if it worked for the more modern drop tuned heavy stuff too. Made sense since those tones were due in large part to guitars being played through amps designed for bass, right?

Just Pedal Ingredients.

Bass — In the realm of guitar effects, “bass” pedals are designed specifically for bass guitars, enhancing their low-end frequencies and allowing bassists to shape their tone and explore new sonic possibilities. These pedals cater to the unique characteristics of the bass guitar and provide various effects to modify its sound. For instance, overdrive and distortion pedals add gain and saturation, giving the bass a gritty or distorted tone. Compression pedals help even out dynamics by smoothing out the volume of loud and soft notes, resulting in a consistent and punchy sound. EQ pedals enable bassists to sculpt their tone by boosting or cutting specific frequencies, allowing them to emphasize certain parts of the sound or compensate for room acoustics. Other popular bass effects include envelope filters, which produce dynamic filter sweeps in response to playing dynamics, adding rhythmic groove to bass lines. Octave pedals generate harmonies one or two octaves below the original note, creating a fuller and more powerful sound. Modulation effects like chorus, flanger, and phaser add depth and movement by modulating the pitch or phase, creating swirling textures and enhancing the overall presence of the bass line. Lastly, delay and reverb pedals introduce ambience and spatial depth, adding echoes and reflections that enhance the sense of space in music. These diverse effects allow bassists to expand their sonic palette and express their creativity in numerous ways.. Drive — A drive pedal adds grit, warmth, and harmonic richness by gently overdriving your guitar signal, simulating the sound of a tube amp pushed into natural breakup. It works by boosting the signal until it begins to clip softly, producing smooth, musical distortion that enhances dynamics without overwhelming the original tone. Drive pedals are perfect for adding sustain and body to clean tones or giving solos extra bite and presence. There are many flavours of drive — from transparent low-gain pedals that subtly enhance your sound, to midrange-heavy overdrives like the Tube Screamer that cut through a mix. They can be used to push an amp harder, stack with other pedals, or simply shape the foundation of your tone. A good drive pedal responds to your touch, letting you control everything from gentle crunch to singing sustain just by adjusting your picking dynamics or guitar volume.. Pedal — Your pedal is like a signature dish for your sound — a flavour-packed creation that transforms the bland ingredients of your guitar into something unforgettable. Each one adds its own seasoning, texture, and heat, turning a simple meal into a feast of tone. These tasty little boxes sit in a row, like plates on a buffet, letting you mix and match flavours as you play. With one tap of your foot, you can swap sweet for spicy, subtle for smoky, and serve up something completely new. From the comfort food of warm overdrive to the fiery kick of fuzz, from smooth jazz sauce to heavy-metal spice, pedals give players a full menu of options to express their taste.  And just like with food — once you’ve tried one dish, you’ll want to sample them all. Collecting, trading, and discovering new flavours soon becomes part of the joy of being a tone-loving gourmet geek with a guitar..
