Catalinbread embarked on a mission to create the ultimate Bass overdrive, not anticipating its impressive performance with guitar as well. This discovery led them to explore the iconic tones of the late '60s and early '70s 'Ya-Yas' era. Moreover, they aimed for versatility, ensuring it would excel with modern drop-tuned heavy music, given that these sounds often originated from guitars played through bass amps.

As for Bass tones, Catalinbread aspired to design a pedal that allows the player to dictate the level of grind through their touch alone. They envisioned a pedal that produces a full, rich, and clean sound with a gentle touch, yet can achieve a wooly edge with more forceful play. Additionally, they sought to engineer a drive pedal capable of intense grind without losing clarity or devolving into muddiness, regardless of the playing intensity.
