FEATURES
A discrete op-amp based on a vintage UREI design pushes the front end of the console into blissful gain if you want it. On the back end, a tasteful treble filter sets the luminosity of the pre to suit your rig and a specially-selected transformer adds a touch of iron to the signal. Capable of every gain sound imaginable from warm, “mastered”-style cleans to gnarly collapsing fuzz, the Airstrip puts the mixing desk on your pedalboard in a much more manageable package.
The Airstrip accepts a center-negative DC power supply at anything between 9 and 24 volts. The more voltage you give it, the more headroom, volume and clarity you will get. Please do not use any adapter deviating from the above (AC, center-positive, voltage under 9 or above 24), you will let the smoke out, possibly permanently damaging the pedal, but definitely damaging your warranty. It’s not a good time!
Introducing the Catalinbread Airstrip, a full-featured console preamp based on the Trident A-Range desk that gives you everything from rich cleans to amp-melting fuzz. The Airstrip houses a germanium-and-transformer-equipped preamp which distills legendary tones into a stompbox-sized console preamp with a handful of extras on offer.
