Mint Condition Catalinbread RAH Pedal - Works Perfectly
$120 (Firm and Not Interested in Trades)
To many guitarists, the title says it all. The RAH (Royal Albert Hall) overdrive was born from discussions between Catalinbread and a friend of the company named "Charlie," who asked whether they could produce the response of the custom Hiwatt heads Jimmy Page was using on that historic January evening. Circuit designer Howard Gee went to work, and along with the team at Catalinbread, he has done it. The RAH Overdrive is engineered to give guitarists the same gain and dynamic response as Page's custom Hiwatt heads and the Marshall cabs he used at that amazing double-encore concert — all in a pedalboard-friendly format. You get a three-knob (Treble-Middle-Bass) tone circuit plus Gain and Master controls for shaping your sound to bring back the sound of classic rock royalty.
Gain and Master controls for Zep and beyond
On the input side, the Gain knob is your ally in re-creating the soaring tones and aggressive attack of Page's solos and rhythm riffs. Lower gain settings are great for cleaner responses or to use if your guitar is hot-rodded with high-output pickups. For output level control, dial in the Master to set precisely the right amplitude. Unity is around "noon" on this knob, so spin it past 12:00 for a boost and left for a bit of attenuation. And don't forget the impact your guitar's onboard controls will have on your sound. Employ them as part of the pedal's control surface — varying pickup selection, rolling off or cranking the volume — and you'll multiply the capability of the RAH Overdrive and your satisfaction in using it.
