Catalinbread Perseus DIO

Includes a paid promotion
Fewer things give guitarists that fabled “riff face” more than a fuzz mixed with an analog octave down, and our original Perseus was a trailblazer in that regard. With that said, the Perseus Dio is a rightful successor to that box. The Perseus Dio greatly expands on the concept of our original device, giving you a three-voice all-analog octave down device with adjustable octave filters. Three knobs control the mixer section, giving you one octave down, two octaves down, and a dry, boosted distortion. The Dry knob gives you a really great light distortion sound that’s more than capable of pushing your amp into overdrive, but the fun starts when you control the levels of octave down signals with their accompanying low-pass filters. With no filtering, the octaves are harmonically rich square waves that sound like old-school Nintendo, but turning up their accompanying filter knobs smooth out the harmonics and turn into clean octaves down. Let’s get pixelated.

An effect for those who like to play with sounds and are not afraid to experiment. It will certainly not be used regularly, but it will undoubtedly find its interested parties. I have a somewhat similar effect from another brand in PB with effects from EHX. Interesting video. Greetings Pavel CZ.👍👍👍

The song is in the movie! You probably know that though

I got excited when I saw DIO in the name and was thinking 80’s Vivian Campbell tone…this is NOT that 😅

It just sounds like a EQD Bit Commander. Lazy design in my opinion. But Catalinbread are like that these days. Nothing innovative really.
They could at least add a decent filter on it. I think Subdecay blow them out of the water in the synth pedal game. Really exciting new stuff. That no one cares about. Because they can't afford the aggressive marketing.

Lol. That was a shitty pedal that bit co. This one seems rather useable for kicks.
