Product Review
Big and powerful, yet refined, the Formula No. 55 melts into your amp, transforming it into a wide ranging tweed monster capable of everything from Smokey, clean Grant Green jazz tones all the way to full on raging Crazy Horse excursions! The Catalinbread Formula No. 55 will turn your amp into a 100 watt tweed Deluxe! Well no, but that’s what it’ll feel like when you plug in.
- Next-generation 5E3 Tweed Deluxe inspired Foundation Overdrive with incredible range - from Grant Green to Crazy Horse!
- The Formula No. 55 is a Foundation Overdrive that reproduces, in exacting 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.
- Like all Catalinbread pedals, no SMD parts are used for audio circuitry.
- We hand-build them and we tone-test each one to ensure you get the best we can offer.
