Catalinbread designs and hand-builds, high quality, industry defining, guitar effects pedals in the U.S.A. Before "boutique" was a term common place with reference to music gear, something was bubbling across the globe, spurred by the Internet and the age of sharing information freely. As it so often happens, we began to look backwards to move forwards - guitar players in particular - combining the lessons learned from success and failure to pedalcraft with forward-thinking ideas. The Pacific Northwest’s answer to this boom was Catalinbread, born in 2003 on Nic Harris’s kitchen table. After producing the Super Chili Picoso, the first Catalinbread-branded pedal exclusively for ToneFactor, a Seattle-based guitar shop. The sales of this fur-lined pedal went on to fund some more adventurous designs, and before long Catalinbread had outgrown both its business model and modest shop space, packing up the truck and ending up in Portland, Oregon. They've been there ever since 2006, now manufacturing over 30 unique pedals, built by human hands, each and every one.
