The Rig of Doom — in a Single Pedal!
Thanks to the Catalinbread Sabbra Cadabra Overdrive Pedal, the voice of darkness has never sounded so good. It's basically a Rangemaster-based treble booster that's custom-tuned and paired with a Laney Supergroup's preamp section. The offspring of this union is as gnarly in pedal form as it was as the foundation of Tony Iommi's original setup. The design of the Sabbra Cadabra will take your tone to the dark side all on its own, but you get Presence, Gain, Volume 4 (named after the album), and Range controls for fine-tuning and shaping your sound further.

Range: the key to the kingdom
Gain, Presence, and Volume 4 are all important controls in shaping your sound, but it's the Sabbra's Range knob that provides the greatest diversity in tone. With it, you can mod the treble-boost section of the circuit, ending up anywhere from dedicated treble boost to full-range boost. The Range control is continuously variable to match whatever response range or vibe you're going for, so don't be afraid to experiment. And don't forget the impact your guitar's onboard controls will have on the sound. The Sabbra Cadabra, like most Catalinbread pedals, is engineered to take full advantage of your guitar's pots and pickup selector and let you rule new realms of creativity.
Catalinbread: gear that makes you want to play
The self-avowed gearheads at Catalinbread focus on making musical devices they want to use — “gear that gets us excited and inspires us to play.” The result of that authentic focus and unwavering integrity is the type of innovation that isn’t market-driven; Catalinbread creates its own market for products players love, whether overdrive, delay/reverb, fuzz/distortion, or tremolo/modulation pedals (many of which are available at Sweetwater). The Sabbra Cadabra Overdrive Pedal is a powerful example of Catalinbread's commitment to exciting, inspiring innovation.
