Much like the “it’s about the journey, not the destination” adage, the guitar world’s ceaseless “quest for tone” is one of discovery. For Wampler founder Brian Wampler, Catacombs is the result of answering the call that led him to start building pedals in the first place: developing a single pedal that offers a vast array of sounds with detailed editing capabilities that don’t come at the cost of a manageable interface. The tone chasers of Sweetwater agree that, with Catacombs, Wampler has succeeded. This multimode stompbox delivers a diverse array of 11 reverb and delay effects, each of which channels distinct styles ranging from Bucket Brigade Device, Echo-Space, and Wampler Faux Tape Echo delays to plate, shimmer, and spring reverbs, to name a few. Moreover, these spatialization tools were designed to go fully extra-dimensional, thanks to its true-stereo audio I/O, with tone-crafting tenacity and evocative expression bolstered by its variable Series and Parallel operation, a multitude of variables, and comprehensive external control via deep MIDI integration and Expression controls. Virtually endless sound-design potential abounds, and with pro-grade 48kHz/24-bit conversion complementing a massive 20Hz–20kHz frequency response range, the Wampler Catacombs Reverb and Delay pedal becomes your key to unlocking multidimensional sonic contouring whose staple sounds and pliable parameters dare you to summit the furthest reaches of space and tone.
