Ardent effects nerds will remember the fur-lined Super Chili Picoso as the first Catalinbread effect, hand-made on a kitchen table in Washington and sold to Tone Factor, establishing us as a company. This one-knob (and sometimes one-toggle) device survived a plethora of graphical changes and manufacturing processes to become one of our longest-tenured offerings. This reimagining of the classic circuit takes all the sparkle and clean gain of the original and adds as mattering of new features. We’ve implemented a powerful yet natural-sounding EQ control that keeps the sound and feel completely intact with some extremely musical tonal enhancement.We’ve also added a switch to run two Chili Picosos in series for some extra oomph and covert overdrive, as well as a couple slight circuit tweaks to enhance the dynamic range. We think it’s a perfect continuation of this circuit and you will too.
