Catalinbread Super Chili Picoso

Description

The Catalinbread Super Chili Picoso Boost is a simple but incredibly useful little one-knob device loosely based on the ’MOSFET BOOST’ circuit by Jack Orman. A clean and transparent volume booster than can also solve signal quality issues with ease. Like our other pedals, special attention is devoted to the sonic qualities and dynamic feel of the attack – no harsh ‘ice pick’ frequencies or ‘chirping’ on the pick attack here.

With 35dB of boost on tap, you can use it to overdrive the input of your amplifier or the input of an overdrive pedal effectively giving you a second dirt channel – without adding any unwanted EQ coloration of its own – what goes in is what comes out. You can also place it at the end of your effects chain for a global volume boost AKA the ‘MORE!’ pedal.

The SCP has 10meg ohms input impedance and 3k output, so it can also be used for buffering duties when the Volume control is set to minimum. This can really help to add the high end sparkle and beef back into your sound when dealing with long cable runs or pedalboards having more than a few true-bypass effects on them which can really deaden the upper frequencies and kill dynamic response.
