Catalinbread Effects CBX Gated Reverb Effects Pedal

Gated reverb, the combination of digital reverb and noise gate, starting in the ‘70s but popularized in the ‘80s. Like many now-legendary effects, gated reverb was invented by accident using the Solid State Logic SL4000 Talkback Mic channel and AMS RMX16 digital reverb units. The premise is simple enough: the gate is a function of the signal strength; once the signal level drops below an adjustable threshold, the reverb tail snaps shut. Our CBX recreates this magical symbiosis with an overdrivable preamp, adjustable reverb lag time and a full wet-dry blend. The result is a lovely and expressive “always-on” reverb that stays in its lane and won’t interfere with the all-important mix. • MFSKU CBX • UPC 853710004697
