katastrophe pedal JPTR FX Katastrophe

Enabling the player to retain fidelity as well as drastically reshape their signal - and to do so conveniently - has been a crucial objective in the KATASTROPHE's circuit design. Thus, the pedal comes equipped with an assortment of external and internal knobs for radical manipulation. Volume determines how hard you push the amp, or how loud you want your setup to be when using the KATASTROPHE as a preamp. Gain is pretty self-explanatory as always and so are the EQ controls Bass, Treble, and Presence, with presence controlling higher frequencies than the Treble knob.

The externally located low cut will remove any low rumble from the signal if you prefer more modern high gain sounds. If you leave it untouched you go to full doom with all the low end you ever need. The analog octave-up section has more gain than the usual circuits of this kind and is identical to the one found in our SILVERMACHINE. An added footswitch to engage this circuit offers players more flexibility and allows for more drastic changes while playing. 

Internal adjustment options: 
The internal Highcut switches let you control the highs even more than you are already able to with the Treble and Presence knobs. You can also boost both the low end and the dry signal independently and in parallel, providing a versatility that will satisfy even the most discerning audiophile bass players out there (you know who you are). The internal Postgain trim pot lets you adjust the KATASTROPHE to function at its best with your pickup output.
