Catalinbread Talisman Studio Plate Reverb Pedal

Many compliments using this reverb. Great circuit design and proud to own pedal from Portland, OR

I've done my hw here... However, I will add that my studio has taken on a bit of water damage from the adjacent bathroom. So, really playing and experimenting with the his pedal has been put on hold while workmen are in the house.To help you out, watch the YouTube videos. I'm replacing an EHX Holy Stain (combo fuzz-reverb). The EHX has a lot of noise/hiss when engaged as well as there's a slight click when engaged.So, these were the issues I was initially hoping to fix with my upgrade.The videos on YouTube show no click as well as a nice creamy sound. I also love that there's a volume knob on this pedal. I use my reverb like an extra boost with icing on the cake being the reverb. I'll also add that this pedal is much smaller than the EHX it is replacing and can be thrown in my daisy chain off of my TU-2.It doesn't hurt that this pedal is modeled after the large plate reverbs that Pink Floyd used.I'll come back to this review if revisions are necessary, but I'm really excited about this pedal.

I added this reverb pedal to my pedalboard in order to enable/emulate a reverb effect common to music recorded in the early to mid-1970s for a 50th Anniversary event at my college. It is an amazing piece of circuitry, even enabling overlay on infinite reverb. It's a welcome and versatile addition to my current rig.

Based on some recommendations online, I'm running this at 18v. Sounds absolutely amazing. I found that setting Dwell and Tone past noon starts to get really crazy, but no crazier than some Dick Dale sounds. Very responsive to your picking, which makes it feel very connected and alive while you're playing. Pair this with a Belle Epoch (echoplex pedal also by Catalinbread) and you've got an awesome low-fi rig.

I am sitting here holding a metal box that I can't use because I have no power source. I contacted the seller 3 times, and never got an answer back. So I am unhappy about this purchase.

This is the only fake spring I've tried that nearly pulls it off. Very smart math going on here for sure. I have yet to try 18V, but even at standard voltage this device is clean and smooth. The Dwell knob brings more "impact" to the "spring" and gives you more of the wacky wiggly echo slap to the sound, dialed back is a more traditional reverb. The volume knob is very nice, brings your sound back to the fore with the effect in, and never a hint of hiss. True bypass, fast becoming the industry standard, is included. I wish the Topanga had all the magic of a true spring though, the almost multidimensional complexity of a true spring tank beckons from just beyond what is currently possible in the digital world, IMHO.

I got this for my Mesa Boogie Mini Rectifier and it works great. Nice reverb that is very smooth and realistic. A bit pricey but worth it. US buyer Atlanta GA.

Better sounding and more useful than any other reverb pedal I've ever owned. It's more versatile than you'd expect with the high pass knob. Sold all my other reverb pedals
