The Catalinbread team has a real close family vibe about it from the facebook posts I receive. This must be devastating for them. Really very sad news.

I've never owned one of their pedals but Catalinbread always struck me as one of the more interesting pedal companies out there- no tweaked tubescreamers pretending not to be the same old shit in a shiny box. What a shame. Crap way to go.

The release on the catalinbread called him contentious, seems an odd tribute

More context

He was at times “contentious” but was always focused on a vision that asked us to pour just as much creativity, love, and balls into it as he did. And so we shall…

Sounds like me that they are simply trying to explain his drive.

That's very sad to hear, and horribly young for that sort of thing to happen - not that there's a good age for it. I had no idea, I assumed he was much older.

RIP

Wow this is terrible news, and so random!!! I've thoroughly enjoyed all of the Catalinbread pedals I've used over the years and have recently been loving the Echorec as my main delay pedal. What a devastating loss for the world of innovative pedals and sounds.
