Got 'em. In decent shape. Confirmed TL-606 (Image is distorted from lens/angle) and they're loaded with EVM-15B Series II's. For about $275. Will report back once I get my Bass' wiring sorted and can test 'em.

I just bought a kittycasterfx tremdriver. It's a clean boost/preamp that can be always on, then engage the trem side, which is "harmonic" and pulses the low and high frequencies.

I'd never heard of it before, and I loathe my boss trem pedal with its horrible volume drop, so I gave it a spin and it rulez. love the boost going into the balls reverb as both always on, and then the trem is really lush and pretty and musical - like they slowed a fender down by half. It's got that really rounded wave I like in a trem. The vox thing and it's wave can be cool too, but I like the smoothness of the fender style, and this gets that sound right to my ears.

Anyway, apparently the company is no more, and I don't know anything about them but, if you see one of these in the wild, I endorse them. I hope the dude / woman who made it isn't horrible or anything. I stopped looking after a very short search last night.

The guy who was the initial face of kittycaster is named Howard Geeand he was the main designer at Catalinbread after its founder died. I think he had a falling out with the family/owners at some point and left to do his own thing. The handful of pedals he put out were all really well received and the people I know that have them really like them. I’ve never heard a bad thing about him, but I have no idea why he stopped the company. I assume just normal small business reasons or problems w investors etc.

Looks like there’s a 20-pager on TGP about it if you want to really dig in!

The OG crew of Catalinbread (Nic, Mike, Howard, and Stefanie) was awesome. After the world lost Nic, I no longer choose to comment. But Mike, Howard, and Stef are all still rad.

Here we are almost 11 years ago at the giant trade show. Howard's in back. (I just posted the link, that embed is kinda cheesy. Also, I've somehow lost weight as I've aged?!?! )

So dude who made this pedal I found and fell in love with is the one in the KWC shirt?

No, Howard's the long haired Asian guy in the back. Tall guy in the KWC shirt is Canadian guy named Scott who runs this business.

Ah gotcha. I'm a big fan of that pedal, now I'm on the lookout for the other 2.

Steinberger Spirit.

Spouse looking at being back in the hospital for a long time - want a small guitar we can keep in “hospital stuff”, wipe down without finish worry, as clean a guitar can be while still being playable and “real”.
