Catalinbread Pareidolia Harmonic Mesmerizer vibrato effects pedal

General

The Catalinbread Pareidolia Harmonic Mesmerizer is based on the vibrato from the Fender Brownface amplifiers from the early '60s. The larger models like the Twin, Pro and Concert had a unique and highly complex vibrato circuit. There is a lot of discussion about the terms that Fender used. Technically speaking, Vibrato is frequency modulation, while Tremolo is amplitude modulation. Leo himself called the effect Vibrato and, while that's not entirely accurate, the circuit is certainly more complex than the Fender tremolo circuits that followed. You can call it whatever you want, but one thing that can't be disputed is that this Catalinbread effects pedal sounds fantastic. Without a doubt, the sound of the Brownface tremolo is flawlessly recreated in this extremely solid stomp box.

The Catalinbread Pareidolia offers a mix of vibrato and tremolo effects that are inspired by the 1961 Fender Twin . Let yourself be hynotised by the surging waves of sound that take you on a journey through a musical landscape. The Pareidolia takes the vibrato effect to new levels thanks to an extensive speed range that goes from slow to super fast. On top of that you can still give the volume a boost to make the effect really stand out. The pedal can run on 9 or 18 volts, which is ideal when using it in combination with overdrive.
