Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Katzenkönig is a distortion pedal with a wide working range, from sustained lead sounds through tight, harmonically detailed crunch and into heavier fuzz textures. Its INPUT control lets you match the pedal to pickup output and adjust its response when a wah is placed before it. GAIN provides broad adjustment, while FILTER moves the final voice between smoother and brighter settings. Use the VOLUME control to set the pedal’s output level for the rest of the rig.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Building a guitar pedalboard with the distortion placed early in the signal chain.
- Matching distortion response to lower-output pickups, humbuckers, or a wah placed ahead of the pedal.
- Running into a clean amp, an overdriven amp, or another overdrive pedal.
