Cloak "Room"-Style Reverb With Shimmer Effects Pedal

The Catalinbread Cloak effects pedal was inspired by a treatise on the optimal shimmer effect from the acoustics department at Stanford. At its core, the Cloak is a “room”-style reverb that sounds enchanting on its own, but with a twist of the Shimmer knob, it introduces rich, harmonically laden overtones, emphasizing three different orders of harmonics within the trails. Plus, a specially designed low-pass filter steps in and smooths the harmonics out before they get too out of hand and wreck up the signal path. The size of the room can be effortlessly dialed in, which comes in handy when deciding on which type of switching you prefer—the Cloak offers up true bypass switching that cuts off the reverb trails when the Cloak is disengaged, or buffered bypass, which keeps the decay going even after switching off.
