Have an amp without a dirty channel? Looking for an overdrive pedal to go with it? Then check out the Catalinbread HyperPak. This ultra-compact pedal doesn’t have as many controls as some of the other pedals out there, but it still has some excellent settings and capabilities. Some people may dismiss the HyperPak just because it has fewer controls and knobs, but don’t judge this book by its cover. In fact, the HyperPak provides some awesome tones and is very easy to brighten with the right settings. This pedal provides a great dynamic distortion that sounds quite nice at any volume. The Catalinbread HyperPak features a very good amount of output as well, allowing you to really crank up your amp and go into full overdrive or turn up the drive and drop the volume to add even more sound to a larger amp.
The Catalinbread HyperPak provides a warm, smooth tone and is, overall, quite responsive to dynamics and adjustments. The tone is quite clean when you lighten up your touch or pull back on the volume. The pedal works great with any tube amp, and when it comes down to overdrive pedals, many say you won’t find a better match for a Deluxe or Twin amp. This pedal also has a much better frequency response and clarity than you’d find on other pedals, and it features total transparency so that you always keep your sound.

This would be great if the buildquality wasn’t terrible (they break like flies)
and the customer support is non-existent.. they don’t honor warranties – ever.
They pay people to hype their pedals up on forums and harmony central..
They’ve been warned already on several places for their “user testimonials”
stay away..
