Catalinbread Naga Viper is a dynamic boost effects pedal that follows in the rich tradition of the iconic Dallas Rangemaster "Treble-Booster". This pedal has been designed to provide that signature harmonic-laden rock tone, reminiscent of the legendary British guitarists like Tony Iommi, Brian May, and Marc Bolan.

A unique feature of the Naga Viper is its enhanced classic circuit, which includes two additional controls - the Range and Heat. Unlike the original Rangemaster that had a fixed gain and a singular boost control, the Range knob on the Naga Viper offers a continuous control that allows you to shift from a classic treble-boost to a full-range boost and anywhere in-between. The Heat knob provides control over the gain level saturation, giving you the freedom to dial in your perfect tone.

This pedal works best when placed after wah pedals and before fuzz and overdrives in your signal chain. Avoid placing any buffered pedals before the Naga Viper as it can impact the sound. Ideally, the Naga Viper should directly "see" your guitar pickups for the best response.
