Overview

Classic ’60s and ’70s rock sounds inspired by the Aiwa TP-1011.

The Catalinbread Dreamcoat effects pedal began as an exploration of a specific ’60s and ’70s English classic rock tone, ultimately evolving into a multidimensional gain machine capable of anything between unruly sputtery fuzz and classic rock chime. The heart and soul of the Dreamcoat is a near-exact recreation of the preamp circuit from the Aiwa TP-1011 reel-to-reel deck that can be found in ’60s and ’70s classic rock recordings. All the functionality of that unit is present, from sparkling cleans to powerful crunch and glassy leads, with the inclusion of a “Sat” control that gives you an extra layer of grunt, allowing the Dreamcoat to range between near-dry tonal indifference to complete “melting-amp” Neil Young-esque tweed sounds.

Certain classic rock sounds weren't just from a tape deck, though, but thanks to the installation of a passive inductor-based frequency “booster” into the guitar that cut both sides of the spectrum around the resonant frequency of the pickups, giving the appearance of a frequency boost. To that end, the Dreamcoat features a frequency booster circuit that doesn’t cut anything, giving you a richer tone with a little oomph where it counts. To top it all off, it includes a clean blend circuit that begins after the frequency boost and ends after the tape preamp, so you can EQ the sum of your clean tone and dirt, all while preserving your pick attack and presence. The whole shebang runs at 20V, just a hair higher than the original Aiwa, expanding its capabilities and delivering tons of headroom.
