Yes, even you, outlaw country fan, and you, person wearing indecipherable metal logo band shirt. You see, the Tribute is an all-analog circuit that combines an extremely expressive high-headroom drive engine with an obscenely powerful and flexible tone control. The back end of the Tribute pays—ahem—homage to one of our oldest designs, the VariOboost. This circuit gives you a supercharged one-band parametric EQ in lieu of a tone control for some serious studio-esque tone sculpting power. Playing rhythm? Dial in a low-mids grunt and boost that band for some fat chords. Playing leads? Flip that thing and inject some sparkle into your sound. Want to fake a cocked wah pedal to nail your cover of “Money for Nothing”? Want to simulate some Peter Green-esque out-of-phase pickups? Want your single-coils to sound like humbuckers? What about the other way around? Sure, why not? Want all of that and more? It’s time to play Tribute.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTONE:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e After dialing in the Freq[uency], use this control to boost or cut the selected frequency by 12dB. This control is equipped with a center-detent potentiometer; just click it to noon and the frequency is flat; this means that nothing is boosted or cut regardless of Freq position. Clicking the Tone knob to noon effectively removes the VariOboost component.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eControls\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eVOL: \u003c\/strong\u003eYou like it loud?

Freq selects a frequency between 70Hz and 1.4KHz, which is then cut or boosted by the Tone control. See diagram on the next page if thismakes no sense right now.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDRIVE:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003eThe core of the Tribute is an exacting buffer followed by a drive circuit that is governed by a dual-gang potentiometer. Wait, what? All this means is that turning the Drive knob affects two parameters at once instead of just one. In the Tribute, those two controls are clean blend and overdrive gain. When Driveis rolled all the way down, you get your pristinely buffered clean signal with a gentle treble filter. When it’s all the way up, maximum gain is achieved with no clean signal present. Anywhere in between gives you a carefully balanced clean-drive combo that lets your tone breathe at all positions.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAuthentic all-analog overdrive and boost tones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBased on Catalinabread’s earlier VariOboost pedal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eExceptionally high headroom, with touch-sensitive dynamics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePowerful 1-band parametric EQ to dial in a wide range of versatile tones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Catalinbread","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39647399116858,"sku":"CB-TRIBUTE","price":169.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1764\/4443\/products\/catalinbread-tribute-low-gain-overdrive-vari-o-boost-w-eq-cb-tribute-gsus4-156477.jpg?v=1738758559","url":"https:\/\/gsus4.com.au\/en-us\/products\/catalinbread-tribute","provider":"Gsus4","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
