From the vendor
The Catalinbread RAH (Royal Albert Hall) is roughly the WIIO circuit, three cascaded BS170 stages with feedback from the last stage, retuned and given a three-knob Bass/Mid/Treble stack taken from the Hiwatt DR input preamp used by Jimmy Page. Very uncompressed, with a wide dynamic range.

- The zeners Z1-Z3 have no value on the schematic; 9.1V per the vero layout, which also adds a 1N4001 reverse-polarity diode.
- The pot tapers are from the schematic and layout: Gain B500K, Bass A500K, Mid B100K, Treble B250K, Master A250K.
