Catalinbread Many Worlds
Catalinbread · pedal
The Catalinbread Many Worlds is an eight stage phaser offering deep, swirling modulation far beyond a standard phaser. It features eight selectable phase parameters, six LFO waveforms including sine, square, reverse sawtooth and two independently intermodulating sine waves, plus two envelope dependent phase modes that let your pick attack drive the sweep up or down instead of an LFO. This range covers classic vibey, rich and swirly phaser tones as well as unusual, otherworldly and dynamic textures. It suits players from classic rock and funk to ambient and experimental who want both traditional phaser sounds and a deep, programmable modulation playground in one rugged pedal.
