The Sinkhole is one of the most ethereal reverbs out there! Catalinbread has combined a harmonically rich “hole” reverb with an impossibly deep four-voice chorus that’s been outfitted with a feedback control and a gentle high-cut filter.
We’ve stretched the reverb trails out to their absolute limit, with the maximum decay time almost freezing your signal in space. Extreme settings evoke warm synthesizer pads, reminiscent of vintage analogue-digital hybrids, holding your modulated note indefinitely. Combine all that with a full wet-dry blend and a warm preamp circuit, and you’re beginning to feel the gravity of the Sinkhole.
Controls
- FDBCK: This control has a dual function; in addition to adjusting the amount of feedback in the chorus circuit, it also controls the depth of the chorus.
- MIX: This is your standard wet-dry blend – With the setting down, the clean signal runs through the Sinkhole’s onboard preamp, and with the mix dial up, all you hear is reverb, all the time!
- MOD: This controls the rate of the chorus modulation. Setting this control to the minimum slows the LFO down to a barely noticeable rate. Increase for a more dramatic effect.
- VERB: This adjusts the decay time of the reverberated signal. Turning this up to the maximum gives you near-infinite sustain.
- VOL: Adjusts the gain of the onboard preamp. You can use this as a fine clean boost with or without the reverb, if you wish.
Key Features
- Versatility – The pedal features everything from comb filtering to pseudo-phaser to haunting auto-filtering.
- Feedback Control – The feedback control allows the Sinkhole to reach deep within the reverb to extract some truly otherworldly tuneable modulation!
