Catalinbread Topanga

This spring reverb simulator is inspired by the iconic Fender 6G15 outboard unit, a favorite among surf guitarists and '60s tone chasers. Unlike built-in amp reverbs, the 6G15 was designed to be placed in front of the amp, allowing the reverb signal to be pushed into overdrive, creating a more aggressive and saturated character. Key to this sound is the Dwell control, which adjusts how hard the springs are hit by the input signal, and the preamp coloration that enhances the amp's response.

The pedal faithfully captures this unique signal path and tonal coloration, complete with a discrete preamp that adds warmth and touch sensitivity. The Volume knob lets you tap into that preamp for a clean boost, giving you extra headroom or a stronger push into your amp when needed. This unit offers an authentic recreation of a legendary spring reverb sound, in a pedalboard-friendly format.
