Catalinbread distortion

This is where the fuzz and distortion pedals sit together. The Fuzzrite and the Karma Suture each exist in a germanium and a silicon version: germanium sounds softer and rougher, silicon harder and more direct. The Elements Fuzz is the stripped-back budget version; the Giygas and the Starcrash Fuzz are later designs with a character of their own. Alongside them are heavier pedals: the Carbide with its Boss HM-2-style chainsaw, the Katzenkönig crossing a Tone Bender with a RAT, the CB Distortion from the Elements range, and the Cold One, which blends fuzz and distortion like the DOD Punkifier.
