Catalinbread Manx Loaghtan

Catalinbread Manx Loaghtan – Wooly Muff-Style Fuzz with a Bite

The Catalinbread Manx Loaghtan is a bold and ferocious fuzz inspired by the legendary Ram’s Head Big Muff, but with enhanced clarity, midrange presence, and a tighter low end. Named after a rugged, horned sheep from the Isle of Man, this fuzz is as wild and powerful as its namesake — thick and aggressive, yet articulate enough to cut through the mix.

With expanded tone-shaping options, the Manx Loaghtan stands apart from typical muff-style fuzzes, giving you vintage grunt and modern control in one tough, compact box.
