Catalinbread, partnered with the local tattoo artist, Kyle Oxford, to create a limited edition art series featuring four of our classic designs. These playful designs combine traditional tattoo artistry with some of our top-selling effects, including the Sabbra Cadabra, SFT, Katzenkönig, and RAH.

The Catalinbread SFT is an AMPEG®-inspired foundational overdrive that spans the 'Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out' (Stones) and Desert Sound (Stoner) eras.

Our fascination with AMPEG® has been longstanding. Initially, the company was a jazz purist, largely ignoring more mainstream genres such as Country & Western and Rock, which were embraced by FENDER® and MARSHALL®. In terms of design, they drew more inspiration from the hi-fi world than from guitarists, which is reflected in their choice of tube complements, gain stages without cathode capacitors, and the use of Baxandall tone controls. Their innovative spirit is evident in features like the 'Flip-top' combos. Moreover, they produced at least one amplifier model featuring a torsion bar to adjust the speaker baffle's tightness.
