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.

But that isn’t all Catalinbread has been cooking up. We’ve got a trio of Dirty Little Secrets to share.
