Catalinbread Cloak Reverb and Shimmer Pedal

The Catalinbread Cloak is a dynamic room reverb pedal with a blendable shimmer effect built in, perfect for creating ambient soundscapes. Go from the box room to the infinite stratosphere by turning the Room Size knob clockwise and then dial in a lush shimmer effect to further elevate your tone to new heights! The High Pass knob activates a low-pass filter that smooths out the harmonic overtones ensuring they won't get in the way of your playing.

Controls

• Room Size: Simultaneously adjusts both reverb decay length and a slight gain enhancement for a more natural decay
• Mix: Adjusts the amount of dry signal present in the output, from 100 percent dry to 100 percent wet
• High Cut: Cuts higher-order harmonics from the signal to soften the edges at higher Shimmer settings
• Shimmer: Mixes the amount of shimmer present in the room reverb. Fully CCW gives you a rich room reverb and fully CW serves up a harmonically rich shimmer

Here's what Catalinbread say about the Cloak Reverb

The Cloak began after unearthing some ancient texts containing some forbidden incantations on how to introduce spectral elements within a decaying echo. Ok, we’re embellishing a bit; but the inspiration came from the land of academia and the acoustics department at Stanford, where a treatise on the optimal shimmer effect was penned a handful of years back. In a similar pursuit of perfection, we’ve drawn inspiration from a combination of research and our own endeavours to craft a truly superb take on shimmer reverb.

At its core, the Cloak is a “room” style reverb that sounds amazing on its own, but with a twist of the Shimmer knob, rich, harmonically-laden overtones creep in, emphasizing three different orders of harmonics within the trails. A specially-designed low-pass filter steps in and smooths the harmonics out before they get too out of hand and wreck up the signal path. The size of the room can be effortlessly dialled in, from a cramped broom closet to as close to infinity as we can possibly muster. This comes in handy when deciding on which type of switching you prefer; the Cloak offers up true bypass switching that cuts off the reverb trails when the Cloak is disengaged, or buffered bypass, which keeps the decay going even after switching off - your pick. Either way you slice it, the Cloak is ready to impart a little black magic unto your rig.
