Catalinbread SABBRA CADABRA 10th ANNIVERSARY

The Iommi Legacy Reinvented for the Modern Pedalboard

The Sabbra Cadabra recreates the legendary interaction of a constantly engaged treble booster driving a heavily pushed Laney Supergroup - the foundation of early Black Sabbath's sound. Rather than imitating a finished recording, it replicates the original chain and translates it to realistic volumes, ideal for capturing the "rig of doom" without a wall of amps.

Who Is This Pedal For?

Perfect for 70's rock, hard rock, doom, stoner, and heavy blues guitarists from intermediate to pro level. It excels both in studio and live settings as a primary drive source in front of a relatively clean British-style amp but can also push an already crunchy channel. It responds very well to the guitar's volume knob and works great with both humbuckers and single-coils.

Stage-Ready Controls and Features

Range modulates the Rangemaster-style action, from focused bite to more open highs. Gain sets the saturation and density, from tight crunch to massive drive. Presence adjusts brightness and attack in the upper spectrum to cut through the mix without harshness. Vol. 4 controls the output level, with ample headroom to push the next stage. The power supply accepts 9 to 18 V (center negative 2.1 mm) for more headroom; conversely, a deliberately reduced voltage softens the response and adds organic "sag." True bypass, compact format, mono 6.35 mm jack input/output, the Sabbra Cadabra easily integrates into any pedalboard.

The Sound

Precise attack, full mids, and dense yet controlled lows: the Sabbra Cadabra delivers a granite-like, snappy tone highly responsive to playing dynamics. It provides a tight British crunch capable of long sustains and vocal-like sustain, which cleans up with the guitar volume without collapsing. The Presence control refines mix clarity, while Range allows you to go from sharp "bite" to creamier leads, always with immediate and inspiring dynamics.
