This is the type of delay sound that belongs on a Radiohead droning on unnoticeable until the fade out when it's one of the only few sounds left in the mix and you are like "that was there the whole time?"
I've been listening to that album since I was about 12 years old I guess. I loved it then and I still love it now, fourty years later. To me that album is still the best album ever made. ❤️
Sucks that this is crazy expensive! Would love to play around with this! I really dig that Radiohead/Bowie/psychedelic kind of sound! Right down my alley really.
I combine the bicycle delay with the TC Electronic T2 reverb on my "psychedelic board", along with the Carcosa fuzz and a wah I can spend hours giving my neighbors nightmares.
Can't really tell if this is usable for mere mortals when a genius like Andy is demoing a wild pedal like this, but damn that's some cool sounds. Wonder what it'd produce if you fed it some sweet ambient reverb
AgentQQ8 I think buying a new Delay opens up so much more creative options that you wouldn’t have otherwise. So it is quite clear that creativity CAN be bought to a certain degree.
Nah. Took me long enough to find high end delay pedals that don't take up space with two footswitches. Its always a bit annoying as i never use it. (Exp and tap jack sure why not!)
What a trip to hear this old Bowie tune!!! That whole album is genius. Don't know that I'd get much use out of the pedal though. Your playing is, as always, amazing!
Thanks so much! I was really lucky that the pedal seemed to play this tune itself. Don't forget you can always get conventional Lo-Fi delay like the last example 5:30
Thanks, @@AndyDemos I already have the OG Belle Epoch and Echorec. They both have that wonderful, warm preamp mojo that Howard seemed to bake into all of his Catalinbread pedals. The Belle Epoch is my 'always on' pedal: just makes everything sound better. This one could be tempting waaay down the G.A.S. shopping list. You make it sound great.
It is so touchy to dial in. Millimeters make drastic changes. Its amazing. Two times it made my amp get stuck on a repeat. Turning amp off (two different amps, different days) made no difference hour later, stuck on same repeat feedback loop. I had to unplug it from the wall and wait. Very strange. Its a knuckle ball effect. I'm glad I have it for sure.
Dang- it. I still want one of these. The Adineko is the other one I want. They got me for the Zero Point already- it's very cool. Coolest ideas put in an enclosure by the designer of these special effects. I think it's the Asian American guy, what's his name? George? - He's a genius with golden ears. Seriously killer tones. I build pedals too but nothing like this stuff.
Pretty cool, but I already own the Empress Vintage Super Delay, The Red Panda Particle, The Gurus Echosex2 and an old style EHX Deluxe Memory Man, with the classic Panasonic chips. I don't really see a need for another one, even though it sounds cool.
FINALLY! I am so stoked about this pedal! I've been looking for a sound that emulates the sounds I heard when I tried DMT once. Catlinbread is trying to rob me.
This pedal is in dire need of an Expression pedal Jack. If not that, then a MIDI in or DIP switches for the expression pedal routing, then it'd make this perfect for sound experimentation without having to kneel down to get at the controls.
I love Catalinbread stuff , but I mean really ... What exactly was the goal here ? If anyone feels the need to have one I don't think you'll have to wait long for some pretty serious discounts on this one . Also , Andy should get an Emmy for this one . His struggle was real !
Pretty neat stuff. I like noise making pedals, even if it's just for ambient noises. NoiseKickFX make great pedals for that kind of stuff! I highly recommend their LimeTime Delay pedal!!!
i would never use the mood cranked like that. the slapback is a good one, but i really dont like those artificial computery sounds....hoping this thing.does some natural musical sounding stuff, cus i love the look and want to get an 18v pedal...yeah w mood in middle it sounds pretty sweet...dont know ifid call it highly musical...
Neat idea, not very practical. The kind of sound you'd maybe use at the end of some epic tune about bullfighting & politics, capped off with this psychedlic carnival effect. But in the right hands, anything can be turned to gold at least once.
But why not have a pedal just for the times you want to milk a frog? Sometimes its just for the joy of playing something that won't be on your album or tour.
