This pedal is in overall very good condition. The electronics function properly and quietly. The case has some light scuffs/scratches and there are a few small dings. There is residue on the bottom from a label. Please reference the photos for physical condition, as they are part of the item description.

There is a lot of confusion about just what the Catalyst is... is it a clean Booster, an overdrive, a distortion, or a Fuzz? The answer is "all of the above."

What does it do best? Clean Boost, non compressed crunch tones (a la Jimmy Page, 70's Jeff beck) and non-compressed distortion/fuzz sounds... accent on NON-compressed. Other unusual traits of the Catalyst are its tight low end and ability to give both flat EQ and accentuated Mid distortions simply by manipulating its 2-band EQ.

Catalyst can be a Fuzz/Distortion (with toggle switch set to "Flame" position). Catalyst can be a phenomenal clean-boost, and overdrive as well (with toggle switch set to "Spark" setting)
