Catalinbread Silver Kiss MK2

The Catalinbread Silver Kiss MKII returns as a versatile, tone-sculpting overdrive designed to cover everything from pristine clean boost to harmonically rich drive, all shaped through a powerful and responsive three-band EQ. Originally Catalinbread’s flagship overdrive, this reissue brings back the highly sought-after tonal flexibility that made it a staple on pedalboards across genres.

At its core, the Silver Kiss MKII features a finely tuned op-amp-based drive circuit that delivers smooth breakup, natural note decay, and a subtle harmonic edge. Its glassy voicing makes it ideal for adding clarity and presence, whether you're pushing a clean amp or stacking it with other gain stages.

Set the Gain low and the Silver Kiss transforms into a clean boost with tone-shaping power, letting your core signal shine through while adding punch and richness. The three-band active EQ offers extended range and interactivity, allowing deep control over treble, mids, and bass. Set each EQ knob to noon to bypass them entirely for a more transparent overdrive or bring them to life for everything from tight focus to thick, woolly saturation.

Whether used as an always-on tone enhancer, a stage-ready lead boost, or the heart of your overdrive chain, the Silver Kiss MKII delivers nuanced, expressive gain with studio-level flexibility.

Controls:

• Treb: Adjusts high frequencies via a shelving filter

• Vol: Overall output level

• Mid: Controls the midrange content

• Bass: Shapes the low-end response with a shelving filter

• Gain: Sets the amount of pre-EQ drive from clean boost to medium gain

The Silver Kiss MKII is a dynamic tool for players who want precision, personality, and pure tone in one elegant box.
