Caroline Guitar Company Meteore
Caroline Guitar Company · pedal
The Caroline Guitar Company Meteore is a lo-fi reverb pedal inspired by the unique acoustic reflections of glass, steel, and tile materials in the Paris Metro subway system. Implements a digital spring reverb block emulating the rich harmonic enhancement and spacious reverberation of real springs with a deliberately lo-fi digital edge. Current draw 60mA; isolated power slot with at least 100mA recommended. The lo-fi character is part of the design intent, adding a slightly degraded, warm ambience unlike pristine digital reverb.
