Catalinbread Sabra Cadabra - Tony Iommi in a box!

Taking a look at the Sabra Cadabra pedal by Catalinbread.

Hi. Is the Sabra Cadabra pedal noisy? Would I need a noise gate pedal too?

[@TheJoker-wr1cp]

Awesome demo thanks

Damn, I do love the tones you’re getting! Your style is a bit more like Matt Pike of Sleep, with that really nasty sound and the borderline chaotic feedback. You’re quite a good player, and I’d like to hear more of what you can do. I’ll definitely look for more on your channel. Tony Iommi has always been my favorite player of all, and he definitely is the best at those demonic heavy riffs. Thanks for putting this on KZbin!

Thank you so much for your kind words! You're right! Tony is the riff lord! I don't thing anyone has come close in the number of incredible riffs created by this guy!

I've got both the Sabbra Cadabra and the Laney TI Black country customs Range master and I use them together and get a great tone from them both. I don't get as good of a tone ( or as realistic to Toni's) with just the Sabbra as I do with both of them running. Is there any sort of way to get the range master to work on the Sabbra without using the TI also? It just seems not as strong? On the Sabbra. I'm a newer player and have a Marshall DSL100 I am running these and a delay with a 10 band EQ. Any suggestion's on how to get the tone right on? I'm also playing a Gibson SG standard and an Epiphone SG classic P-90.

Hi Randy. I think you have most bases covered equipment wise. Not sure what kind of speaker cab your using. But if you're using somthing decent you should be good there. I think it now comes down to practice for you. A lot of Tony's sound comes from the way he attacks the strings. He's not afraid to really dig in with his pick hand. Makes a huge difference in the sound. Use a little vibrato when you hit those chords (another Iommi trick).Rick Beato has a great video on the Sabbath sound you should check out. Just keep plugging away and you'll get there! Hope this helps! Thanks for watching!

Is it normal that this pedal has such a huge hum? Mine is quite noisy, to a point it's annoying.

[@ChrisMorris6655]

Yes I find it pretty noisy. Seems to be a common problem with these pedals.

[@michaelfortney4838]

could be the p90s , they tend to hum

[@troychrisman2035]

Use batteries - less hum

[@lucasnunes6033]

@@troychrisman2035 I had to had them exchanged, they had some grounding problem. The new one is sounding great, no hum.

[@melvin10101]

The old Laneys they emulate are loud as hell. Just use a noisegate and it works fine.

[@laithhart4013]

dude i seriously admired your playing for 14 minutes and seven seconds what do you practice to do this ahaha

[@ChrisMorris6655]

Just flying by the seat of my pants! : )

[@guitarriffscliffyc8382]
