Recommended for - Guitarrists or bassists who seek for sustain and definition and a tone full of personality, but with tonal possibilities that go beyond a traditional Big Muff.

Searching for infinite sustain? The possibility of absurd levels of gain, "wall of sound" style, but without losing definition or making your instrument disappear in the mix? The SLOW was developed to meet the needs of guitarists and bassists who love the classic sound of Big Muffs but seek versatility and the practicality of having a low-end cut—to make the sound tighter or boost the mids without the need to add another overdrive or equalizer to the equation.The obvious reference to Black Sabbath (in the Volume control) and Stoner Rock already indicates: the SLOW is a serious pedal when it comes to gain and bass. Its voicing was designed for the dense riffs of the Sabbath school, but its internal switches allow for many other possibilities: The first pair of DIP switches modifies the voicing of the SLOW for a more modern sound, providing a full range boost and increasing the compression and sonic mass of the pedal. The central trio of DIP switches modifies the mids voicing of the SLOW, ranging from the traditional scoop of the Big Muff to cutting mids to highlight your solos and riffs. Finally, the last pair of switches offers a generous bass boost reminiscent of Russian Big Muffs, making it an excellent ally for adding weight in lower tunings or when using a bass. Furthermore, it's possible to combine the use of all switches, offering a vast array of tonal possibilities that encompass sounds from David Gilmour, Santana, Eric Johnson, Billy Corgan.

Recommended for - EVH fans or anyone seeking the high-gain Marshall amp tone without driving the neighbors and sound technicians crazy.

Based on the sound of the early recordings by Van Halen, the Unchained uses JFET technology to emulate the pre and power stages of the Marshall Super Lead. The tones of Ed Van Halen are extremely difficult to reproduce with amplifiers since he used them at very high volumes, passing through attenuators - which brought that compressed, sagging, and sustained sound. The Unchained circuit faithfully reproduces such tones, featuring a powerful three-band active equalizer, providing great flexibility to match the pedal with your favorite guitars, amplifiers, or emulators. Additionally, the Unchained can be powered by up to 18v, allowing for more headroom and dynamics if the user prefers the pedal that way.

It is crucial to emphasize that, despite the references to EVH and the elusive "Brown Sound," the Unchained is capable of going much further - its gain control is highly versatile, encompassing tones from 1970s and 1980s hard rock and smoothly transitioning through the guitar tones of 1980s metal and the early 1990s.

Recommended for - Guitarists or bassists seeking sustain and definition with a tone full of personality.

The White Russian is a faithful reproduction of the circuit of the Big Muff pedals produced by Sovtek in the early 90s. It is one of the versions of the circuit that has the most distinct sound, with more controlled bass and less gain than most of its Electro Harmonix siblings. These tighter bass frequencies make it one of the favorite pedals for bassists, maintaining definition even at higher gain levels. Its singing sustain captivates guitarists from various music genres, from David Gilmour (who used the Sovtek in the recording of Pulse) to Dan Auerbach, guitarist of the Black Keys.

The White Russian celebrates the utilitarian look of the original Soviet Big Muff, but with various modern conveniences: reduced size, true bypass, metal film resistors - which drastically reduce the noise from the original design - and all the reliability of Collateral FX pedals.

Recommended for - Those seeking a mid-rich distortion, full of sustain, ranging from the sound of Marshall Hot Rodded to modern high-gain amplifiers.

The Red Giant is Collateral's High Gain pedal. Based on the Revv G3, the Red Giant offers less piercing highs and more clarity and note separation when in high gain. Its Mass switch provides three "channels" with different voicings and levels of gain, transitioning from a high gain with more balanced EQ and more compression, to the sound of 80s hot-rodded Marshall amps, and moving on to a mode full of gain, with cutting mids and less compression, akin to high-gain Bogner amplifiers.

Here we have a powerful pedal with a wide gain range and an extremely versatile equalizer, covering tones from 80s hard rock, Grunge, and reaching the most modern metal sounds. It's worth noting that the Red Giant also sounds fantastic when connected directly to your power amp or cabinet simulator.

Recommended for - Those seeking distorted tones with plenty of definition, sustain, and personality.

The Year of The Rat is a faithful reproduction of the absolute classic released by ProCo in 1985. It is a version of the Rat known as Whiteface. It is the most desired version of the pedal among guitarists and features the legendary LM308 chip, manufactured (and already discontinued) by Motorola. In the signal path, some Whiteface units had tantalum capacitors instead of electrolytic capacitors, offering longer operation and a more balanced response in the highs.

Like its original counterpart, the Year of the Rat offers a wide range of tones: its gain control ranges from a light crunch, through classic overdrive tones, distortion, to a Big Muff-esque fuzz, with the difference of a mid-voicing to stand out in the mix. The Filter control works opposite to the traditional tone control, cutting highs, and the more gain is added, the more necessary it becomes to close the control to regain clarity and note definition.

With the Year of the Rat, Collateral FX offers a new pedal with reliable operation, top-quality components (including the extremely rare Motorola LM308), without neglecting the sound that immortalized the Rat in the feet of David Gilmour, Jeff Beck, John Scoffield, Kurt Cobain, Dave Grohl, Graham Coxon, and so many others.
