Super Chili Picoso
The Catalinbread Super Chili Picoso is a clean boost pedal that delivers a remarkably organic, tube-like response - and it's quickly becoming a must-have for discerning guitarists. At its core is the venerable BS170 MOSFET, a component that Catalinbread has expertly harnessed to provide up to 35dB of pure, uncolored gain. But this is no mere volume-boosting pedal. The Super Chili Picoso's carefully tuned circuitry imparts a wonderfully natural, dynamic overdrive when cranked, allowing you to coax rich, harmonically complex tones from your amp. It's the kind of responsive, touch-sensitive gain that has eluded many "transparent" boost pedals, making the Super Chili Picoso a revelation for players seeking that elusive "amp-in-a-box" experience. Equally at home in front of a clean amp or pushing a tube preamp into saturation, the Super Chili Picoso is a remarkably versatile tool. It can fatten up single-coils, add girth to humbuckers, and even function as a subtle mid-boost - all while preserving your guitar's essential tonal character. Renowned for its musical, touch-responsive performance, this pedal has quickly become a favorite of players like Joe Bonamassa, who rely on its dynamic boost to unlock new expressive possibilities. Whether you're seeking a transparent level boost, a touch of natural overdrive, or just that elusive "je ne sais quoi" to breathe new life into your rig, the Catalinbread Super Chili Picoso is a pedal that deserves a spot on your board.
