Catalinbread reverb

Catalinbread's reverb line follows three different sources. The Topanga and the Topanga Burnside emulate a Fender spring reverb, with the Burnside adding a tremolo placed between the stages; the Talisman and the more elaborate Talisman Ghost follow an EMT 140 plate reverb. The Soft Focus line (with a gold cosmetic variant and an expanded Deluxe) and the Sinkhole and Cloak aren't recreations of existing hardware but original, heavily modulated designs with chorus, octave or shimmer running through the tails. The CB Paint and the CBX go back to digital rack reverbs from the 1980s — the CB Paint with eight of the original Alesis Microverb patches, the CBX as a gated reverb.
