Critic Reviews

Catalinbread Montavillian Echo | Delicious Audio

delicious-audio.com

The Catalinbread Montavillian Echo pedal shines with its warm, tube-like echo sounds and impressive headroom, especially when using the 18V option. Its unique lowpass filter and self-oscillation capabilities provide a creative edge. However, its reliance on the common PT2399 chip might not appeal to those seeking a more distinctive or premium component. While the pedal offers a range of ambient sounds in a compact design, potential buyers should consider if the features align with their specific needs in a delay pedal.

Its versatile Cut knob lets you dial in anything from crisp slapback to nostalgic, murky echoes reminiscent of legendary rock recordings. While traditional analog delays can often sound muddled, the Montavillian offers a clear, full-frequency alternative, making it a dream for those seeking both retro and pristine tones. If you're after the best of both worlds in delay, this pedal is worth a try.

'The setup for the interview was not very far from his live setup. It was his trusty old Strat plugged in a limited edition Tube Screamer from Ibanez and a Montavillian Catalinbread delay pedal.'
