RAH - Royal Albert Hall edition WIIO
The Catalinbread RAH (Royal Albert Hall Edition WIIO) is a guitar effects pedal that aims to capture the iconic tone and dynamic response of Jimmy Page's legendary 1970 performance at London's Royal Albert Hall. Combining elements from Catalinbread's acclaimed WIIO and Dirty Little Secret pedals, the RAH is designed to deliver guitarists an incredibly wide and responsive tonal palette. At the heart of the RAH is a restructured gain stage that provides an uncompressed, dynamic feel akin to a powerful tube amplifier. The 3-band tone stack borrowed from the "Jimmy Page Hiwatt" circuit contributes to the pedal's chirpy, articulate, and crunchy voice, while the Dirty Little Secret's big cabinet voicing adds impressive low-end heft. The result is a pedal that encourages expressive playing, rewarding subtle variations in pick attack and guitar volume knob adjustments. Guitarists can leave the RAH on at all times, using their instrument's volume to seamlessly transition between pristine cleans and gritty, saturated tones. Or they can use it as a dedicated gain channel, tapping into its massive dynamic range and detailed harmonic character. Catalinbread has meticulously crafted the RAH to capture the essence of that legendary 1970 Royal Albert Hall performance. With its HERCO pick included, this limited-edition pedal promises to transport players back to the glory days of Led Zeppelin's most iconic live moments.
