Nicholas Harris started Catalinbread on his own kitchen table in June 2003 after a local shop asked to sell his Super Chili Picoso pedal, and the Semaphore Tremolo, released the following year, became the early seller that got the company noticed. Catalinbread moved from Seattle to Portland in 2006 and has hand-built its pedals there ever since, building a catalogue leaning heavily on shoegaze and dream-pop reverbs and fuzzes alongside more straightforward overdrives. Harris died in a highway accident in 2016; musicians and studio owners Kyle Sears and Brandon Rush bought the company in 2020 and have kept it running in the same Portland workshop. We cover most new Catalinbread releases as they land. Here's what we've written.
