MONTAVILLIAN ECHO | Catalinbread EFFECT PEDALS
The Montavillian Delay Is Back, And It’s Brought a Few Secrets!
Serving up fresh slices of handbuilt bedlam, Portland, Oregon’s Catalinbread is quickly becoming one of our favorite effects brands, and we couldn’t be more excited to help bring the discontinued Montavillian Delay, one of their most beloved pedals, back from the dead.
Freshly reissued as our newest CME Exclusive, Montavillian Delay features a user-friendly control set for instant inspiration and bright, new artwork, fitting for a long-awaited rebirth.
But that isn’t all Catalinbread has been cooking up. We’ve got a trio of Dirty Little Secrets to share. These “Marshall in a box” overdrives might be small, but what these supercharged stompboxes are hiding is bound to surprise you. Choose from the Dirty Little Secret MKIII, shrouded in your choice of a CME Exclusive Red on Flat Black finish or standard-edition Silver, and the Dirty Little Secret Red, packed with proprietary DLS circuitry modified for more gain.
Learn more about these exciting exclusives and their colorful cousins, as well as what happens when you sandwich them together. Feeling hungry yet? Preorder now!
