It loves humbuckers and single coils. It loves your cranked amp and your super-clean amp. The front half of the circuit is based on the Tone Bender MKII, widely considered the most desirable of the Tone Benders. In the original, a germanium transistor makes the signal loud. A second transistor makes it very loud. A third one makes it ridiculously loud.

“Antichthon” refers to the ancient Greek idea that there was a “Counter-Earth”, 180 degrees opposite of Earth, but unseeable since it was always on the opposite side of the “Central Fire” from Earth. Today, that notion sounds quaint and ridiculous. But if such a planet did indeed exist, what was it like? Was it a mirror-image world where everything was the opposite of our world? These days we have new notions of the unseeable. There’s the concept of the multiverse, that there is more than one universe, and that “big bangs” are happening all the time, the quantum foam bubbling away, giving birth to new universes. And in these universes from a higher dimension, the laws of physics that we know to be true in our home universe may not be the same.

Antichthon

Die Trident A-Range-Konsole beherrschte die britische Aufnahmeszene in den späten 60er bis frühen 80er Jahren, was zum Teil daran lag, wie gut sie die Dinge klingen ließ. Das Herz des Geräts besteht aus einem diskreten Germanium- und Transformator-Vorverstärker, der so eingestellt werden kann, dass er allen Geschmäckern gerecht wird, von den Tönen eines Lou Reed bis zu den unscharfen Ausrastern eines Frank Zappa. Und natürlich verzerren, sättigen und wummern Konsolenvorverstärker, wenn man sie antreibt, und triefen vor Obertönen und anderen erwünschten tonalen Artefakten. Unser Airstrip destilliert diese legendären Sounds in einen Konsolenvorverstärker im Stompbox-Format mit einer Handvoll Extras. Ein diskreter Operationsverstärker, der auf einem alten UREI-Design basiert, sorgt auf Wunsch für einen satten Gain am vorderen Ende der Konsole. Auf der Rückseite sorgt ein geschmackvoller Höhenfilter für die richtige Helligkeit des Vorverstärkers und ein speziell ausgewählter Übertrager verleiht dem Signal einen Hauch von Eisen. Der Airstrip kann jeden erdenklichen Gain-Sound erzeugen, von warmen, „gemasterten“ Cleans bis hin zu knorrigen, kollabierenden Fuzz-Sounds, und bringt das Mischpult in einem viel handlicheren Paket auf dein Pedalboard.

The Trident A-Range console dominated the UK recording scene in the late ‘60s to early ‘80s, due in part to just how good it made things sound. The heart of the beast consists of a discrete germanium-and-transformer-equipped preamp that can be adjusted to suit all tastes, from the tones of Lou Reed to the fuzzy freakouts of Frank Zappa. And of course, when pushed, console preamps distort, saturate and heave, dripping with harmonics and other desirable tonal artifacts. Our Airstrip distills these legendary tones into a stompbox-sized console preamp with a handful of extras on offer. A discrete op-amp based on a vintage UREI design pushes the front end of the console into blissful gain if you want it. On the back end, a tasteful treble filter sets the luminosity of the pre to suit your rig and a specially-selected transformer adds a touch of iron to the signal. Capable of every gain sound imaginable from warm, “mastered”-style cleans to gnarly collapsing fuzz, the Airstrip puts the mixing desk on your pedalboard in a much more manageable package.

Airstrip

Marshall amps helped supercharge the performance, and shape the sound of rock and roll. When the house lights dimmed, all you could see through the hazy darkness was the array of red pilot lights shining from a backline wall of Marshall stacks. In the absence of your own personal wall of Marshalls and the necessary road crew required to lug them around, the Dirty Little Secret (DLS) is the perfect secret weapon in your tone arsenal. This is your “always on” pedal, designed to be the “foundation” of your pedalboard, transforming any amplifier into those raging British stacks. It forms the core of your guitar sound which you can enhance and embellish by adding boosters, fuzzes, filters, and other overdrives in front of it.

Dirty Little Secret

Ever modest, Catalinbread describes their Tribute Low-gain Overdrive / VariOboost as “a pedal that literally every guitarist needs.” While we get the sense they might be being somewhat facetious, after testing the Tribute out at Sweetwater, we discovered that it’s a stunningly touch-sensitive dirt pedal that’s worthy of a home on any OD fanatic’s board! The Tribute’s all-analog design is modeled after an earlier Catalinbread favorite, the VariOboost, to offer an exceptionally high-headroom drive engine coupled with a one-band parametric EQ for incredible tone-shaping possibilities. From powerful low-end rhythm crunch to sparkly boosted leads on the cusp of breaking up, the Catalinbread Tribute is a uniquely simple-yet-powerful spin on the OD formula.
