catalinbread USED Cloak

Catalinbread Cloak began with the secret excavation of a lost document containing a forbidden spell that adds spectrum to decaying echoes.

It was over-the-top. Cloak's inspiration began in the academic world and the Department of Acoustics at Stanford University, where a paper was written on the optimal shimmer effect. Catalinbread pursued similar perfection, and through its own research, gained new inspiration and created a truly magnificent shimmer reverb.

Cloak is essentially a top-of-the-line room-style reverb on its own, but turning the SHIMMER knob adds rich, harmonious harmonics, emphasizing three different harmonic components along its trail.
A specially designed low-pass filter smooths out harmonics. The ROOM SIZE knob allows you to adjust the volume from a small space like a cleaning supplies closet to an almost infinitely vast space.
Additionally, Cloak offers two options: true bypass, which cuts the reverb trail when bypassed, and buffered trail bypass, which allows the trail to continue.
Whichever you choose, Cloak casts a little black magic on your sound.

●Control
ROOM SIZE: Adjusts the length and gain of the reverb simultaneously, naturally adjusting the spatial breadth and size.

MIX: Adjusts the dry signal in the output from 100% to 0%.

HIGH CUT: Adjusts the harmonics of the reverb signal, smoothing out the high frequencies, especially when SHIMMER is set high.

SHIMMER: Adds shimmer to the room reverb. At the minimum counterclockwise setting, no shimmer is added, resulting in a rich room reverb. At the maximum clockwise setting, it produces a harmonic, rich shimmer reverb.

●Internal switch
The Cloak has a switch inside to change the bypass mode. The default setting is trail mode (buffered bypass). The internal preamp remains active even when bypassed, so the final reverberation remains even when bypassed.
Flipping the switch activates true bypass mode, which bypasses the preamp and cuts all reverb when bypassed.
The Gain trim pot is adjusted by the manufacturer before shipping, so you generally don't need to adjust it. However, if you do need to adjust it, we recommend marking it or taking a photo so you can return it to its original position.


●Power supply
Cloak is powered by a standard center-negative DC 9-18V adapter. Current consumption is 60mA, but for stable operation, please use a power supply of 100mA or more. 9V power provides excellent sound; 18V power offers even more headroom. Batteries cannot be used.

●Specifications Filter: 5kHz cutoff. It can be adjusted from fully open to completely cut out reverb above 5kHz.

Reverb time: Minimum 250ms, maximum 3s or more (varies depending on signal level, but this is for a typical guitar attack.)
