Stuttering Apparitions in Your Delay Effects with an Exclusive Glow
Digital delays with compelling yet unorthodox side effects are yours to command with the Catalinbread CSIDMAN Ghost. Pronounced “disc man,” the CSIDMAN delay stompbox has come out of retirement under Catalinbread’s Ghost series, offering additional otherworldly effects to excite your guitar’s tone. The Cuts/Latch control randomly incorporates the skipping effect commonly heard when playing a scratched CD in a portable CD player into your signal path, creating stuttered and unique flavors of delay. This Sweetwater Exclusive edition adds to the otherworldly mystique, sporting a glow-in-the-dark aesthetic to accompany its phantasmic sounds. Whether you missed out on the original or are exploring stuttering effects for the first time, deploying the CSIDMAN Ghost onto your pedalboard is sure to inspire many creative passages and soundscapes.

Exciting the paranormal essence of antiquated tech
The Catalinbread ghost has possessed another stompbox from the pedal maker’s archive in Portland, Oregon: the CSIDMAN. In this Ghost iteration, the Cuts and Latch controls are combined into a single knob, injecting glitchy, stuttering goodness into your effects chain more efficiently than before. The Ghost control impacts the resulting repeats by reducing the digital sampling rate, effectively morphing your echoes closer to a lo-fi sound quality while injecting random artifacts into your tone — a feature that Sweetwater’s pedal tweakers found inspiring for their shoegazing sonic sculptures. Of course, the CSIDMAN Ghost still functions as a traditional delay pedal by turning the Ghost and Cuts/Latch controls down.
