Catalinbread Dreamcoat Skewer Box

Catalinbread Dreamcoat Skewer Box is a limited edition box set with two pedals and inspired by the sound of Richie Blackmore. It is not an exact replica of the Blackmore sound but rather a toolkit to help you make your own sonic footprint. The Dreamcoat is based on a classic Awai Mic Preamp. The Skewer operates similarly to the Naga Viper pedal, but rather than being based on the Dallas Rangemaster, it is based on the Hornby-Skewes Treble Booster.

Dreamcoat Preamp/Overdrive
What started out as a quest for Ritchie Blackmore’s tone in a box turned into something greater than the sum of its parts. The Deep Purple and Rainbow guitarist is one of the earliest certified gear nerds, owing his tone to heaps of modded gear, unconventional equipment and secret circuits. The pedal serves up an active, adjustable frequency boost, a clean blend and a vintage- correct Aiwa circuit, including the proper operating voltage of the original unit and an all-new saturation control for the Aiwa pre that delivers everything from a delicate, crystalline boost to amp-melting doom sludge. Blackmore tones? Yeah, they’re in there. Tons of volume? You bet. But you can also use it to dial in every shade of classic rock you’ve ever dreamed of.

Skewer Treble Boost
One of Blackmore’s most recognizable pieces of gear is his old Hornby Skewes Treble Booster, a version of the classic effect used by too many artists to list. While almost all of them used a Rangemaster, the Hornby-Skewes version came stock with a silicon transistor for a more biting sound that cut through even the densest of mixes. The Skewer stays true to that circuit, and lets you dial in the desired frequency range from rich and full to treble-heavy, as well as control the amount of boost. You can also vary the amount of transistor gain for some extra juice. And the pedal has a mod as well, which is fully adjustable via the trimpot inside. Further enhancements include a noise reduction filter and anti-pop switch circuitry.
