ARTHAUS Limited Color is now available in Japan. Introducing the Topanga, a spring reverb pedal based on the legendary Fender 6G15 outboard spring reverb unit! We've packed all the drip, flutter, squeak, crunch, and splash sounds of our original tube and spring unit into a small pedal format! The outboard spring reverb unit is the sound of surf guitar, and also the sound of many other great guitars from the 60s. Part of the magic, and what sets it apart from the built-in spring reverb found in most Fender-style amps, is that activating it before the amp distorts the reverb signal, making it far more intense than what the built-in circuitry can achieve. Additionally, there was a Dwell knob to control the strength with which the springs hit the guitar signal, and the Tone knob allowed for more control over the reverb sound. Furthermore, since it's essentially a vacuum tube preamplifier, it can add color to the sound that enters the amplifier. All of these factors resulted in a very distinctive reverb sound that is difficult to reproduce. However, we at Catalinbread had to take on the challenge! And I think we were able to do it! In addition to the original classic three-knob controls, a fantastic discrete preamp controllable via the Volume knob has been added, providing the clean boost you need, when you need it.*Price, specifications, and sound are the same as the standard model. Power supply: Topanga operates on 9-18V using a standard DC center-negative power supply for pedals. Make sure you're using a power supply that provides at least 100mA. 9V will also give you sufficient sound. However, if you want to further increase the output, expand the headroom, and boost the dry signal even more healthily, try going up to 18V! Topanga does not run on batteries.
