The Dreamcoat by Catalinbread is a preamp pedal designed to capture a specific '60s and '70s English classic rock tone. It features a near-exact recreation of the preamp circuit from the Aiwa TP-1011 reel-to-reel deck, offering functionality from sparkling cleans to powerful crunch and glassy leads. The pedal runs at 20V, providing ample headroom.
