Formula 55
The Catalinbread Formula 55 is a tweed-style overdrive pedal that faithfully recreates the preamp section of a classic Fender 5E3 Deluxe amp. It offers authentic tweed amp response with Volume, Tone, and Presence controls, and a Hi-Lo switch for vintage or hot-rodded sounds. This pedal excels at delivering everything from clean tones to overdrive, and stacks well with other effects pedals, like the Jan Ray and Dumble style drives.
