USED SPECIAL! Catalinbread Formula 55
Overdrive Effects Pedal
Tweed-style foundation drive with dynamic JFET response
This pre-owned Catalinbread Formula 55 has been fully tested and inspected to ensure reliable performance. It is a smart way to add touch-sensitive tweed-inspired drive, practical pedalboard flexibility, and excellent value to your rig for less than buying new.
Designed around classic 5E3 character
The Formula 55 uses an all-discrete JFET circuit to recreate the preamp behavior of a Fender 5E3 Tweed Deluxe, capturing the sag, bloom, and midrange voice that make that style of amp so responsive under the fingers.
Flexible gain shaping and amp-like feel
Volume, Tone, Master, and Presence controls give you a wide range of usable sounds, from clean foundation tones to saturated tweed grind. The Hi/Lo gain switch helps tailor the response from lower-gain bounce and clarity to thicker, more compressed drive.
Why choose the Formula 55
For players who want authentic tweed-style breakup in a compact format, the Formula 55 offers convincing amp-like response, strong output capability, and dependable Catalinbread pedal design.
