What's Hot

It appears Nicholas Harris, owner of Catalinbread effects has died, after a tree fell on his car.

Have been a long time fan of the company (and used to get a lot of stick for my obsession back on Harmony Central).


edit: Robert Keeley has confirmed it is indeed Nic from Catalinbread on a Facebook post, sad times

    I really love their analogue delays.

    What a terrible thing.

    No idea how I ever came across the company, but this is what Gas looked like to 15 yr old me, playing a zoom 707II

    I started the best hobby ever

    Awful story.

    I took some photos of the wonderful Echorec, and Nick emailed me asking if he could use em for the company. A lovely man, with time for everyone.

    Terrible news. I'm a big fan of Catalinbread pedals. I don't think they made a pedal I didn't really like.
    My wife asked me to stop singing Wonderwall.
    I said maybe.....

    Seriously depressing - I loved his videos. He was definitely one of the best builders in the business.

    RIP
    Stop crying, start buying

    I was just reading this yesterday, and thinking "Cor, what a dude. We're lucky we've got someone exploring and trying to make cool new stuff."

    And yet there's still Lovepedal.

    Sad news indeed, I think I'll rock out through my RAH pedal tonight in his honour.
    Tomorrow will be a good day.
