Catalinbread Airstrip

The Trident A-Range console dominated the UK recording scene in the late ‘60s to early ‘80s, partly due to how good it made things sound.
Its heart consists of a discrete germanium-and-transformer-equipped preamp that can be adjusted to suit all tastes, from the tones of Lou Reed to the fuzzy freakouts of Frank Zappa. When pushed, console preamps distort, saturate and heave, dripping with harmonics and other desirable tonal artifacts.
Airstrip distills these iconic tones into a stompbox-sized console preamp with a handful of extras on offer. A discrete op-amp based on a vintage UREI design pushes the front end of the console into blissful gain if you want it.
On the back end, a tasteful treble filter sets the luminosity of the pre to suit your rig and a specially-selected transformer adds a touch of iron to the signal. Capable of every gain sound imaginable from warm, “mastered”-style cleans to gnarly collapsing fuzz, the Airstrip puts the mixing desk on your pedalboard in a much more manageable package.
