Catalinbread Heliotrope

Catalinbread Heliotrope – Harmonic Pixelator Fuzz

Break the rules of fuzz with the Catalinbread Heliotrope — a unique analog downsampling pedal that delivers glitchy, lo-fi textures unlike anything else on your board. Designed to emulate vintage bit-crushing and sample-rate reduction, the Heliotrope transforms your guitar into a synth-like signal full of sputters, bleeps, and broken-transmission chaos.

From laser-like leads to crushed radio fuzz, the Heliotrope adds raw digital-style degradation to your tone — all in a fully analog signal path.
