Catalinbread has unleashed a sonic beast with the Antichthon Deluxe, an expanded version of its mind-bending Antichthon pedal. This isn’t your ordinary fuzz or tremolo; it’s a chaotic, experimental pedal designed to push the boundaries of your guitar tone.
Antichthon Deluxe
The original Antichthon was hailed as a “signal destroyer,” offering oscillating fuzz, tremolo, and otherworldly sounds. The Deluxe version refines this wild concept, making it more playable and versatile for live performance.
With an expanded range of controls and the ability to use an expression pedal to control the Action knob, the Antichthon Deluxe offers endless sonic possibilities. This pedal delivers a unique and unpredictable experience, from harmonically rich soundscapes to tight distortion.
Key Features
- Action knob: Controls the depth of the effect, with an expression pedal input for dynamic control.
- Bias: Adjusts the fuzz character, similar to a traditional fuzz pedal.
- Body: Increases gain and harmonic complexity.
- Mids: Boosts midrange frequencies for cutting through the mix.
- Feedback: Increases intensity with a toggle switch.
Pricing and Availability
If you want to add a touch of chaos and unpredictability to your pedalboard, the Catalinbread Antichthon Deluxe is worth exploring. Priced at $234, the first batch is available for pre-order with shipping in early September.
