Catalinbread takes you back to the sixties with the Merkin Fuzz. This effects pedal is just 'rite' for that classic fuzz sound from the heyday of musical experimentation. The Merkin takes the original Maestro Fuzz-Rite to the next level. For one, it doesn't lose volume, but its most impressive feature has to be the range of the Texture control. The range is so broad that other companies probably would have used 30 switches to achieve the same result. From The Ventures to The Stooges, the Merkin Fuzz offers a wide range of classic fuzz sounds.
Merkin Fuzz: versatile sound
Catalinbread promotes the Merkin Fuzz with a series of entertaining memes and saucy puns, reflecting the fact that this pedal represents a time when freedom was the motto - the freedom to experiment and to be yourself. With this effects pedal you get a lush, vibrant fuzz from three silicon transistors. You can use this as your only overdrive pedal, but for real tonal bliss, combine it with an overdriven amplifier. The Catalinbread Merkin Fuzz can also be used for a nearly clean boost. Another useful feature is the responsive power option. Running the pedal on battery power gives you a warm vintage tone, while using a 9V DC adapter produces a harder sound. For extra headroom you can even use an 18V DC adapter.
