Talisman

Description

This listing is for a Catalinbread Talisman plate reverb. This is one of the most popular pedals on Reverb.com, reviews and comments tell you why. In mint condition, but I’ve lost the box. Used only a few times in a smoke-free home. I’m 70-years-old and selling off almost all of my gear.

It get you super close to that early EVH reverb.”ES330 wrote: “Best plate reverb pedal out there !!”Crimson Queen wrote: “Plate is all I want, and the Talisman is it.”M wrote: “The Talisman is definitely my favorite reverb pedal. It´s not for ambient soundscaping or any of that ****, but just a perfect "make it sound bigger" pedal. One thing to note about it is that it has a discrete pre amp and a lot of volume gain on tap. Thus it is best suited for rock and hard rock, where you want to drive the amp and just sound huge. For that there is nothing better. Absolutely top notch. It´s an instant "rock god" kind of pedal.”Andrew wrote: “Best plate reverb pedal out there IMO.”Hamolodics wrote: “Talisman is the best I've used.”Catalinbread.com:“Era-defining plate reverb with studio-style controls. 479.99% smaller than the leading plate reverb. It adds lush ambience, dimension, thickness, and depth in an unobtrusive way. Listen to any recording from the 70’s and you’ll most likely hear the sound of a plate reverb, a giant mechanical contraption roughly the size of a king size bed. It was ubiquitous in the studio, and was the only reverb used on Pink Floyd’s iconic Dark Side of the Moon album for example. What made plate reverb so cool? It adds lush ambience, dimension, thickness, and depth in an unobtrusive way. When you listen to your favorite albums from the 70s you probably don’t even realize how much plate reverb you are hearing. Go back and listen and hone in on the reverb sound and you’ll probably be surprised how much reverb is actually there. In the studio the plate reverb signal was often processed on the way back to the console where the things like filtering and delays were applied.”GuitarFella.com:“The EMT-140 plate reverb was, in many ways, the definitive sound of music throughout the 1970s. Used on mammoth records like Pink Floyd’s The Dark Side of The Moon and the Rolling Stones’ Sticky Fingers, plate reverb is prized for its deep projection and ability to work both in the front of a mix and as a background effect. The Talisman emulates the sound of the EMT-140, with the specifics of the pedal modeled after the original in Portland’s Jackpot Studios.This stompbox oozes warm, lush tones with exceptional clarity and vibrance. At lower levels, the Talisman functions as an outstanding always-on effect for adding color and space to your signal. And there’s plenty of tail on tap here. With the mix and time cranked, this box pumps out gorgeous, cavernous ‘verb with a gossamer-like delicate quality.Perhaps the most impressive thing about this pedal is the balance it maintains between the depth and breadth of the reverb and the purity of the dry signal – even at its most swampy, underwater sounds, the Talisman preserves a striking amount of integrity, never losing the central focus on your signal. Players concerned about standing out in a mix with this unit can safely stop worrying.Catalinbread’s Talisman offers studio-quality plate reverb at a fraction of the size and cost of a traditional unit. Even beyond the plate category, its outstanding clarity and sonic breadth distinguish it from most other general reverbs around. Guitarists looking for a distinctive vintage reverb sound that plays well in a mix should give the Talisman a whirl.”
