The Talisman Gh ost extends the original Talisman pedal by modulating and simulating two EMT140 plates, adding a chorus-like effect to the reverb trail. At Catalinbread, we focus on creating devices that are accurate models of vintage equipment, but rethinking old technology is about pushing the limits of what's possible. Sometimes that means significantly increasing the decay of a spring reverb to simulate a spring far larger than those found in an amp, or sounding like room reverb if the room were infinitely large. In the realm of plate reverb, Talisman has already pushed the limits of the authentic EMT 140 sound. With this pedal, we extend the drive of the EMT 140, a massive metal plate suspended to a frame by springs and clamps, and add some elegant embellishments designed to create controls where there were never any before. TalismanGhost takes that framework a step further, answering the question: "What happens when you configure two EMT 140 plate units to work in a modulated tandem?" The result is a captivating chorus-like effect that applies exclusively to the reverb trail. This fundamentally redesigned sound is enhanced by a careful consideration of the diffusion characteristics of the actual EMT 140 and the luxury of running a second massive 600-pound sound in parallel—something most studios don't have. This nuanced modulation results in a sound where the two plates blend together in a satisfying way, dramatically expanding the spatial effect of the reverb. This creates a clever post-process doubling effect that gives a sense of dynamics to what is normally a static reverb decay.Power supply: 9V to 18VDC (center negative).
