Catalinbread Topanga Spring Reverb Pedal | CME Gear Demo

Catalinbread's Topanga reverb pedal is a spring reverb effect based on the legendary Fender 6G15 outboard spring reverb unit!' They've captured all the drip, flutter, cluck, clang, and splash of the original tubes and springs unit in a small pedal format!

Josh has got really great feel in touch on the instrument...his sense of dynamics is very rare. The pedal sounds fantastic too

[TimShaw]

first lick, before 5 seconds in I said "That sounds like Josh Smith" ... so smooth.

[LeviBulger]

The most intimate guitar pedal demo on YouTube.

Okay here goes. I've been using this pedal for three days now. Let's cut to the chase. If you want the Dick Dale sound then you can tweak it out of this thing easy. A lot cheaper than a reverb tank. Just one complaint. The plug in for the adapter is in an awkward place. That's minor though. Make sure you use a one spot to get enough power. I'm very pleased with this. With enough knob twiddling you can dial right in and it's instant surf rock. It does the drip sound if you keep the volume before 12 o' clock and keep the mix knob around 3 o' clock. If you go all the way with the mix knob then the dry tone is completely gone and it's 100 percent wet. A bit like a guitar being played in a cave. I paired this with the Polara Digitech on various reverbs and got some really cool shoegaze tones. Both pedals cost me some money but brother, it was worth every penny. Thank you Catalinbread. My sound has arrived...for now.

Wow, certainly the most convincing pedal that mimics a real tube reverb unit, impressive!

I had noticed this was an Editor's pick in Guitar Player Magazine. So I wanted to see what the person saw in the pedal. Now, I know. Really like it and the demo for the pedal was over the top. Thank you for a demo so well done.

[jonnystuart]

Wish every pedal demo would be like this, matching pedal builder with pro musician.
