Art and music are the world’s great unifiers; they exist in all pockets of the Earth and are among the most appreciable facets of culture that humankind has to offer. The visual arts in particular are important statement pieces; while created by humans, the work speaks for itself, engineered by a creator and presented with minimal comment. We’ve taken this inspiration to our own little slice of the arts and wrapped some of our most beloved reverb circuits in big, bold colors and linework, reminiscent of the German Bauhaus school’s early-1900s aesthetics. We’re stoked on how these finishes turned out and are excited to share them with you.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe outboard Fender 6G15 spring reverb unit is the sound of Surf guitar, Spaghetti Western and many other great guitar sounds from the sixties. Part of its magic, and how it differs from the internal spring reverb found in most Fender-style amps, is that it is run *in front* of the amp, causing the reverb signal to distort and sound more intense. Because there were additional knobs on the outboard units, you also have more control over the reverb qualities. The Dwell knob controlled how hard the springs were getting hit by the guitar signal. The Tone knob allowed the treble to be dialed back to just the right degree of brightness. It was also essentially a tube preamp, so it would color the sound going into the amp. All this added up to a very distinctive reverb sound with a lot of attitude and complex non-linearities that are hard to replicate. But we here at Catalinbread did just that! Besides giving you the classic three knob control compliment of the original, we’ve also added a great discrete preamp that you can control via the Volume knob for a healthy amount of great clean boost when you want it\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan\u003eControls-\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-pf-type=\"Accordion.Content.Wrapper\" class=\"sc-iapVNj kZpFRP pf-62_\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pf-accordion-wrapper pf-accordion-show\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-pf-expandable=\"true\" data-id=\"9da70482-7722-43c4-8ab2-f6d52a5682e5\" data-pf-type=\"Accordion.Content\" class=\"sc-eulNPF hByIKx pf-65_\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-bmzXxz iAfMPC pf-66_ pf-r pf-r-eh\" data-pf-type=\"Row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pf-c\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-pf-type=\"Column\" class=\"sc-fscnvs bOiGIg pf-67_\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"sc-gFmZvT AnfjJ pf-68_\" data-pf-type=\"Paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan data-pf-type=\"Text\" class=\"sc-gwZLmR bKBQrY pf-70_\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eDWELL: \u003c\/b\u003eThe original Fender reverb unit’s Dwell control wasbasically the volume control for its tube preamp(which is very similar to the preamp in all Fenderamps). So the Dwell knob sets how hard the transformer and springs are being driven. The Topanga’s Dwell knob works the same way, controlling how hard the virtual spring circuit is driven, from a very mellow reverb to the over-the-topreverb that made the original famous.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMIX: \u003c\/span\u003eFull counter-clockwise is dry-signal only and full clockwise is reverb signal only. Just set to the amount of reverb you want. Do note though that if you hit an overdriven amp (or overdrive pedal) with the Topanga, you’ll need to run the Mix control lower to obtain the same balance. This is true for the original unit too.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pf-c\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-pf-type=\"Column\" class=\"sc-fscnvs bOiGIg pf-71_\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-pf-type=\"Image\" class=\"sc-cMa-dPg dmUhBZ pf-72_\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0370\/1873\/0628\/files\/TOP_AH_NOBG-low.png?v=1774416534\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0370\/1873\/0628\/files\/TOP_AH_NOBG-low.png?v=1774416534 1536w\" width=\"896\" height=\"1500\" alt=\"TOP_AH_NOBG-low.png__PID:019b6ed9-67d0-491f-87b4-b1b36ddfa495\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pf-c\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-pf-type=\"Column\" class=\"sc-fscnvs bOiGIg pf-73_\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"sc-gFmZvT AnfjJ pf-74_\" data-pf-type=\"Paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan data-pf-type=\"Text\" class=\"sc-gwZLmR bKBQrY pf-76_\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTONE:\u003c\/span\u003e Essentially, this control is a low-pass filter for the reverb signal coming out of the spring tank. We’ve duplicated this architecture in the Topanga to give you the authentic sound.

Make sure you’re using a supply that provides at least 100mA. 9 volts will sound great all around. But if you want even more output and an even healthier boost to your dry signal with increased headroom, try all the way up to 18 volts! Oh, and Topanga does not run on batteries. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Catalinbread","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52465044488475,"sku":null,"price":26450.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0815\/1905\/1035\/files\/CatalinbreadTopanga_ArthausCollection_Front.png?v=1783322564","url":"https:\/\/stompbox.in\/products\/catalinbread-topanga-arthaus-collection","provider":"Stompbox.in","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
