Recreate vintage tube amp magic with the Catalinbread Valcoder.

The Catalinbread Valcoder tremolo pedal brings back the hypnotic pulse of vintage tube amplifiers from the 1970s. Designed to recreate the iconic tremolo and overdrive of amps from brands like Supro, Valco and Gretsch, the Valcoder gives you a range of sounds from subtle tremolo to gritty, tube-like breakup. With this pedal, you can craft rhythmic textures that shape your tone in inspiring ways.

Hypnotic Vintage Tremolo

The Valcoder produces a throbbing tremolo reminiscent of the sought-after tube amps of the '70s. At lower depths, you'll get a gentle undulation that adds rhythmic interest to chords and single notes. Crank up the Intensity for a hard, choppy tremolo that pulses in time with your playing. The waveform and circuitry have been carefully tuned to provide a natural-sounding tremolo that reacts dynamically to your pick attack and playing dynamics.

Tube-Like Overdrive

In addition to tremolo, the Valcoder delivers the saturated overdrive tone of a vintage tube amp. Adjust the Input and Output controls to go from a hint of breakup to a fully cranked amp tone. The overdrive has a musical quality that enhances the tremolo effect, creating a percussive texture. You can also use the overdrive on its own when you want to push your amp into distortion. The Valcoder makes it easy to get lost in the overdriven sounds of the '70s.

Simple but Versatile Controls

Despite its vintage-inspired circuitry, the Valcoder gives you intuitive control over your tone. The Depth knob determines how intense the tremolo effect is, from barely perceptible to intensely pulsing. The Rate knob controls the speed of the tremolo, allowing you to match the tempo of your music. Separate Input and Output knobs control the amount of overdrive so you can boost your signal going into the pedal and cut it coming out for maximum saturation. The Valcoder may faithfully capture a retro sound, but its controls are straightforward and flexible enough for any musical style.

For guitarists chasing vintage tone, the Catalinbread Valcoder delivers. With tube-amp tremolo and overdrive inspired by the rock sounds of the 1970s, this pedal lets you craft hypnotic textures and gritty leads. The Valcoder brings the past into the present with its touch-responsive circuitry and versatile controls. If you want to get lost in classic rock tone, plug into the Valcoder.
