Fulltone Catalyst Demo#2 "SPARK Saturated" HD by Mike Fuller

[pepachet]

Thats the tone I'm looking for.... SOLD!

Though it in deed sounds very fuzzy, in some way it's kind of that KT66 sound in a box, really. Very similar fat and powerfull 'clonk' to this pedal. No wonder my mind drifts off to late '60s British blues. This is clearly something I can see coming my pedal board's way.

I dig the Fulltone boxes. I do not have the Catalyst and I did not realzie it cleaned up so well, I thought it might be a little too buzzy for me. Everyone overgains the OCD for my tastes. I use the Fat Boost 3 before my OCD and high gains, I love the clean boost thick quality it adds. Just kills. Always on. The Fullltones morph with other pedals better than anything I have seen, rather uncanny.

hi, great sound !

how would you please compare the catalyst and the fulldrive 2 mosfet...

if the mosfet has "more" switches & so... why is the price here in europe the same?

is the catalyst more "boutique" build & sounding or it's just as kind of newer horse?

i couldn't find you playing the mosfet to compare ..

@13berza I too would hope Mike finds time to demo his own stuff a bit more. Most clips of his gear don't do the pedals justice.

Just a couple of switches short in fact. The FD2 should be a bit costier than the Cat - and it is in the US, but not by very much. Then I think circuitry wise there's quite a lot going on in the Cat and due to its size we may tend to think of the Cat as a more simple pedal though it isn't.

Listen to the awesome sound as he repeates two sounds at 35.5 seconds........is that a slide he is using for those two notes? If so, is he hitting two high notes (two strings) simultaneously with the slide or a single string (you can also hear a simultaneous bass not played with the higher note or notes too if you listen carefully)? Or is he simply doing a unison bend here where he bends a note up to the pitch of another a not he is playing simultaneously?

It's an Eric Johnson tech...he uses it a lot...man I love that sound ...now I can get it with this pedal

@stratstringbender Sounds to me like hes using his thumb for the bass notes and just playing everything else normally.

Once again, Michael nails it. I have been a long time fan and user of Mike's creations and his extremely tasteful, on the mark gtr playing and tonal wizardry.

I once ran into Mike @ Westlake Studios bacdk about 13 yrs ago where he was doing some eng/production work with a female artist. The sounds coming out of the control room were very delicious

peace out

Don't know about the pedal yet but sure love your playing ...

[guns1rose]

dude thats coolio!!

[6gpower]

Man no one I have heard, other my friends, can demo your Products, better than you. I mean, besides knowing how to creat them and getting them to where they are exactly what you feel and hear, you are a great player to boot. Thank you for giving me the sound I have been suffering for, all my life.
