The heart and soul of the Dreamcoat is a near-exact recreation of the preamp circuit from the Aiwa TP-1011 reel-to-reel deck that can be found in ‘60s and ‘70s classic rock recordings. All of the functionality of that unit is present, from sparkling cleans to powerful crunch and glassy leads, but the “Sat” control gives you an extra layer of grunt.
From Catalinbread: " We’ve added a frequency booster circuit for a richer tone with a little oomph where it counts.To top it all off, we’ve included a clean blend circuit that begins after the frequency boostand ends after the tape preamp, so you can EQ the sum of your clean tone and dirt, allwhile preserving your pick attack and presence. The whole shebang runs at 20V, just a hairhigher than the original Aiwa, expanding its capabilities and delivering tons of headroom. "
