Catalinbread Formula 55 Guitar Effect

Next-generation 5E3 Tweed Deluxe inspired Foundation Overdrive with incredible range - from Grant Green to Crazy Horse! Big and powerful, yet refined, the Formula No. 55 melts into your amp, transforming it into a wide ranging tweed monster! The Formula No. 55 is a Foundation Overdrive that reproduces, in exact detail, the preamp section of the classic Fender tweed 5E3 Deluxe using an all-discrete JFET-based signal path. The Volume and Tone controls replicate, part for part, the circuitry of the 5E3, giving you authentic tweed amp response. The output section is designed to give you punch and volume with a low output impedance to drive your amp perfectly. Set the Hi-Lo button to "Lo" for the cleaner response of a vintage tweed. "Hi" is like hot rodding your amp by swapping in higher gain tubes.

Тype: Overdrive

Overdrive simulates the natural distortion of a tube amplifier pushed to higher volume levels. It produces a warm, smooth, and dynamic tone with mild clipping that responds to playing intensity. It is used to achieve a more expressive sound in both lead and rhythm parts, especially in blues, rock, and country music.

True Bypass: Yes

It has a true bypass function, which ensures that when the effects are turned off, the signal passes directly through the unit without influence or degradation.

Battery Operation: Yes

Battery power provides flexibility and mobility. This feature allows you to use the device anywhere, even in places where an electrical outlet is not available. Battery power is ideal for situations that require portability and independence from the grid, whether you're outdoors, on the road, or in a location with limited access to electricity.
