General
Spitter, spetter, spatter - this '60s outboard spring reverb tank is every surf guitarists' wet dream. The Catalinbread Topanga captures the tone of the Fender 6G15 spring reverb. It is the sound of surf, spaghetti westerns and many other legendary sounds of the '60s. What makes this pedal so special is that it works differently than the spring reverb that you find in most amplifiers. The Topanga sits at the front of the signal chain, making the reverb effect distort and sound more intense. Thanks to Dwell and Tone controls you can adjust the intensity and clarity to your own taste. It's a very special reverb with non-linear sounds. You can even use the volume control to give you a clean boost when you want it.
Topanga: authentic sounds
Catalinbread wanted to develop an external spring reverb with the same functionality as the pedals of yesteryear. To achieve this, no unnecessary buttons were added to retract from the pure experience of using this guitar effect. The Dwell control functions as a volume knob for the springs. High frequencies can be reduced using the Tone control for a subtler, more distant sound. A nice addition is the Mix knob that allows you to adjust the level between a dry and wet signal. Finallly, the volume control can be used to give the entire circuit a great boost. The result is a sound that is as wide as the Topanga Canyon!

L'Oceans 11 a le fameux drip, ce son aqueux d'attaque caractéristique des unités de reverb Fender. La Topanga, pas. Je le savais en l'achetant. j'enlève quand-même une étoile à Catalinbread.
En dehors de ce détail, tout est meilleur dans la Topanga, elle est bien plus polyvalente en ce qui concerne l'algorithme spring, du subtil aux ressorts saturés. La Topanga magnifie le son de la guitare, elle a l'attitude, ça réagit comme il faut, c'est tout à fait crédible.
J'ai ajouté un petit câble doubleur de tension pour passer de 9V à 18V, ce qui offre beaucoup plus de marge dans les réglages. Le son est plus propre, plus défini, sature moins vite. Les contrôles sont interactifs et la saturation des ressorts (dwell) dépend aussi du volume d'entrée du préampli, ce qui rend la pédale très réaliste. Les autres pédales imitant la reverb à ressorts ne proposent pas ça, ce qui fait qu'elles noient le son de guitare dans la reverb numérique. A mon avis, c'est ça, le grand plus de la Topanga qui a fait son succès: elle réagit fidèlement, ce n'est pas froid et chirurgical, il y a de l'âme.
