Description
Welcome to the Catalinbread CSIDMAN, an avant-garde musician's dream delay pedal. This device is not shy about its digital nature, with its aesthetic revolving around recreating echoes as authentically as possible, sans any form of filtering.
The pedal allows you to traverse the realms of sonic adventures, offering standard delay controls and a unique twist - the ability to induce intentional digital glitches and stutters. Inspired by the erratic skips in a CD playback, the CSIDMAN lets you control and manipulate these 'errors' to produce a range of sounds, from clean repeats to pseudo-random digital anomalies.
Created by the self-professed gearheads at Catalinbread, the CSIDMAN is a testament to their commitment to making music devices that inspire and excite. This pedal is a perfect example of their innovative spirit, where they create their own market for products loved by players, instead of being driven by existing trends.
Key Features: - Digital delay pedal with 100% analog dry path for authentic echo reproduction. - Built around a powerful digital delay with standard Time, Feedback, and Mix controls. - Features unique Cuts and Latch knobs to control and manipulate glitches and stutters. - Allows a range of sounds from crystal-clear repeats to controlled pseudo-random errors. - Sturdy all-metal housing and high-quality footswitch, ready for the road. - Proudly made in the USA.

Source
Features and functionality
-
The CSIDMAN includes a gain screw and a true bypass switch. Adjusting the gain halfway adds significant gain, often used in a Timeline feedback loop.
Source -
The CSIDMAN can create sporadic skips that lead into oscillation sounds, resembling feedback, adding unique depth to digital delay effects.
Source
Use cases and applications
-
The momentary glitch feature is highly valued for stutter effects, similar to those in Boss DD-series and Digitech Digidelay, but requires precise settings to avoid silence.
Source -
Ideal for glitchy soundscapes, and it pairs effectively with pedals like the Particle V2 for experimental sound design.
Source -
Works well as a studio effect or with a looper; shorter delays maintain rhythm integrity when playing live.
Source -
Noted for its ability to produce dystopian, eerie tones when used with unconventional instruments like a hurdy-gurdy.
Source -
Owners suggest it excels when used with drum machines, providing a controlled chaos that enhances electronic rhythms.

Artist usage

According to this page on Catalinbread's website, Noel Gallagher uses several pedals from the Portland-based manufacturer.
On his wife: “All the PR I do for that woman, I didn’t even get a f*cking birthday present last time. F*cking hell! She pulls out that one: ‘But you’ve got everything! How many more effects pedals can I buy you?’ One more! One f*cking more will do. One more!” (Esquire UK, December 2015) By the time grunge officially died, plaid flannel shirts and disillusionment were on their way to becoming trite and vapid. “Teen spirit” was gone and the world’s children needed another subcultural movement before hair metal attempted to resurrect itself. Fortunately, America’s record store employees were ready to fill that void due to their voracious reading of Select and Vox magazines. “Cool Brittania” replaced flannel and disillusionment with the Union Jack and cocky swagger, respectively, and power chords gave way to arpeggios.
Currently using: Echorec, Topanga, Adineko, CSIDMAN, Bicycle Delay
