Digital Delay Pedal for the Existentialist
If you're into unconventional delay pedals that can help you achieve transcendence while still justifiably occupying workhorse pedalboard space with go-to effects, the Catalinbread Bicycle Delay pedal is an excellent choice. You can dial in everything from positive vibes to the disharmony of downward-spiraling pitch shifts and repeats, just by exploring the interaction between its Reflect, Radiance, Mood, Lucidity, and Expanse controls at various settings. Like the 1953 Escher lithograph reproduced in the Bicycle Delay pedal's user manual, this delay pedal displays impossibilities that thrill the mind — and, in this case, the ear.

Catalinbread: gear that makes you want to play
The self-avowed gearheads at Catalinbread focus on making musical devices they want to use — “gear that gets us excited and inspires us to play.” The result of that authentic focus and unwavering integrity is the type of innovation that isn’t market-driven; Catalinbread creates its own market for products players love, whether overdrive, delay/reverb, fuzz/distortion, or tremolo/modulation pedals (many of which are available at Sweetwater). The Bicycle Delay pedal is a powerful example of Catalinbread’s commitment to exciting, inspiring innovation.
