The Catalinbread Teaser Stallion is an analog distortion pedal built around two footswitchable channels. Channel One covers what RockBoard's PedalPedia describes as "Subtle Overdrive to Blistering Gain that cleans nicely up with your volume knob," so it can sit at the low-gain end of a board or be pushed into heavy distortion depending on how hard the guitar is driven1. It sits in the wider family of distortion pedals, alongside other Catalinbread drives such as the Carbide.
Channel Two is the pedal's distinguishing feature. Rather than being a second, independent gain stage, it takes the signal from Channel One and, in Catalinbread's words, "re-amplifies, re-distorts, then re-amplifies and re-distorts the signal from Channel One over and over again." RockBoard's PedalPedia describes the results as "incredibly interactive and never-before-experienced sounds," and frames engaging Channel Two as a step "into the preliminary understandings of chaos"1.
How the two channels work
| Channel | What it does |
|---|---|
| Channel One | Overdrive to full distortion, responsive to the guitar's volume knob1 |
| Channel Two | Repeatedly re-amplifies and re-distorts Channel One's signal for extreme, interactive textures1 |
Because Channel Two feeds on Channel One's output, the two controls interact: the setting of Channel One shapes what Channel Two does to the signal, which is where the maker's "interactive" description comes from1. For a player, that means the pedal rewards experimentation rather than offering two fixed voices.
