Description from sweetwater:
Catalinbread’s Montavillian Echo is meticulously crafted to deliver a tube-style echo that can hang with the best of the vintage delay units, but with the reliability of digital technology. The core of the Montavillian is an idiosyncratic take on the famous PT2399 delay that captures the sound of a classic bucket-brigade delay, with the added bonus of smoother decay and an enhanced dry signal. When testing this pedal out at Sweetwater, we were awestruck by the Montavillian’s massive headroom — no matter which fuzz, overdrive, or distortion stompbox we paired it with, the signal remained clear and articulate. If you’re looking for a pedal with digital reliability, analog soul, and a simple control setup that facilitates studio-ready tones right out of the box, put the Montavillian at the top of your list!
Warm-sounding PT2399 design
When it comes to a warm, rich delay tone, most players tend to gravitate toward a vintage-style analog tone or even a tape echo unit. While these effects are revered for a reason, digital delays have come a long way since the early ’80s, and some of the most authentic-sounding analog-voiced delays are the result of the PT2399 delay chip. Makers like JHS, Earthquaker Devices, Wampler, and Catalinbread have all used the PT2399 chip to great effect to craft delay tones that rival the best analog units but offer higher headroom, better clarity, and the reliability of digital technology.
Catalinbread: gear that makes you want to play
The self-avowed gearheads at Catalinbread focus on making musical devices that they want to use themselves — “gear that gets us excited and inspires us to play.” The result of that authentic focus and unwavering integrity is the type of innovation that isn’t market-driven; Catalinbread creates its own market for products players love, whether overdrive, delay/reverb, fuzz/distortion, or tremolo/modulation pedals (many of which are available at Sweetwater). The Montavillian Echo pedal is a powerful example of Catalinbread’s commitment to exciting, inspiring innovation.
