Catalinbread Airstrip Gold White: Studio Console Sound for Your Pedalboard

The Catalinbread Airstrip Gold White preamp pedal brings the sonic magic of British recording consoles to today’s guitarists. By emulating the famed Trident A-Range, this limited-edition pedal delivers sought-after studio coloration in a compact design. Experience a range of tones—sparkling cleans, saturated textures, and all the character that shaped countless classic records. The Airstrip Gold White is ideal for musicians who want vintage studio depth and clarity, with boutique-quality construction throughout.

Rare Features and Hybrid Architecture

What distinguishes the Airstrip is its blend of germanium-transistor and transformer-driven preamplification with a discrete, UREI-inspired op-amp. This combination achieves the warmth and dynamic response studio engineers have prized for decades. Its limited Gold White finish marks it as a true collector’s piece, produced in extremely small numbers.

Classic Console-Inspired Controls

Deep tone shaping is possible thanks to a straightforward four-knob layout:

• Push: Gain/Saturation — move from subtle boost to vintage fuzz with this preamp drive control.
• Filter: High-Frequency Shaping — tweak highs to fit different guitars, amps, or venues; cut for warmth, boost for clarity.
• The Trim knob lets you optimize the input signal, making sure your dynamics and harmonics come through with every note.
• Volume: Master Output — set the output to match your rig, whether before an amp or after effects.

Studio-Grade Build and Connectivity

Built to endure, the Airstrip uses only high-end components. Its custom transformer adds subtle iron coloration, and the robust enclosure stands up to gigging and studio demands.

• Power: 9V DC (center negative) — ready for any modern pedalboard system.
• Inputs/Outputs: 1 x 6.3 mm in, 1 x 6.3 mm out — standard jacks for easy integration.

Flexible Applications

The Airstrip works as a clean boost, transparent enhancer, or saturated preamp/fuzz. Its touch sensitivity adapts to different pickups and playing styles. Musicians can shift tones instantly during sessions or performances, making this model suitable for experimental sound design as well as classic tones.
