Rare Catalinbread Carbide from a limited run of only 50 pedals featuring the original alternate orange, black, and white artwork.

According to Catalinbread, these were test-print enclosures produced before the company selected the standard gold color scheme. The original artwork directly reflects the pedal’s BOSS HM-2 inspiration, combining orange-and-black coloring with heavy-metal and chainsaw imagery. Even the Carbide name references the tungsten-based material used to coat heavy-duty chainsaw blades.

This example is in mint condition and works exactly as it should. It includes the original Catalinbread box, branded cloth bag, and Catalinbread/Tortex guitar pick.

Controls:

  • Dry
  • Wet
  • EMP

Included:

  • Catalinbread Carbide limited-edition pedal
  • Original box
  • Original Catalinbread cloth bag
  • Catalinbread/Tortex guitar pick

Only 50 of these alternate-art test-print versions were offered, making this an uncommon Carbide variant for Catalinbread collectors and fans of chainsaw-style metal distortion.

No power supply is included. The pedal accepts a standard center-negative 9–18V DC power supply.

Please review the photos for the exact condition and everything included.
