Cloak Your Tone in Shimmery Reverb!

Shine and shimmer with the Cloak reverb pedal from Catalinbread. At its core, the Cloak is spectacular digital room reverb, which allows for quick adjustment of the room size from a single knob. From cramped closets to nearly infinite-sized spaces, guitarists at Sweetwater are impressed by the Cloak’s massive range of ambient environments. But where things get interesting is when you tap into the Cloak’s shimmer mode. Based on years of research, the Cloak’s shimmer function provides a wash of rich, harmonically laden overtones, with sparkling tails full of three different orders of harmonics. A custom-designed lowpass filter is on hand to sculpt the harmonics, and the Cloak includes selectable true-bypass or buffered-bypass switching to keep your tails intact when you disengage the pedal. The Cloak is housed in a tough metal chassis, features a rugged footswitch, and can be powered with any high-quality 9V–18V DC power supply (not included).

Catalinbread: gear that makes you want to play

The self-avowed gearheads at Catalinbread focus on making musical devices that they want to use themselves — "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 Cloak reverb pedal is a powerful example of Catalinbread's commitment to exciting, inspiring innovation.

  • Spectacular digital room reverb with adjustable size
  • Rich, harmonically laden shimmer makes any guitar part shine

Shine like the sun

This is a quality-made pedal that fountains a shimmering array of glorious harmonics! Inspiring and easy to use, the Cloak is only limited by your imagination. With simple sound-shaping controls, it's easy to shape the tones and effects you're looking for. It works well with all the different guitars I've tried but will present as other-worldly if you feed it the right one! Innovative and different, I am really enjoying this pedal! It's currently my go-to for praise/worship music.
Rated 4.5/5

Love that Shimmer

The Shimmer is what sold me on this pedal. The long trails using a volume pedal and delay. Even with a overdrive pedal in front of it plus volume pedal gave me great ideas for intro to a song Im working on.
Rated 4.5/5

Very Good Pedal

Like all Catalinbread pedals, the Cloak has excellent build quality and fantastic sound. I've always been a fan of Matthew's Effects' Astronomer, so I was intrigued by the thought of that kind of shimmer combined with a "room" type reverb. While I initially didn't like the room reverb on its own, I now love how it sits in certain mixes without cluttering up the upper mids the way some long-tail reverbs can do.
It also sounds fantastic on keys.
Rated 4/5

Disappointed at first...

To be honest, I was somewhat disappointed when I first plugged the Cloak into my pedal board, for it really didn't sound any different from some of my other pedals, especially the Catalinbread Talisman. So I tried it at the end, the middle, then up front, still mush, not worth the extra price when I felt the Strymon reverborator could actually do some of the same. So I called for an RA to send it back, but while waiting, I decided to turn all other affects off, including the speed and depth on the Princeton amp. So now I was only hearing the Cloak, and kept twisting and experimenting, finally discovering that less is actually more with the rightside buttons turned almost off, with the left side at 1 and noon. Couldn't stop playing! Even the wife said, "What sounds so pretty?" And that's when I decided to hang on to it. I also found I could gradually add some pedals back in, such as the compressor and a couple of others, even the amp. But to be totally honest, now that I'm going to keep it, I don't need some dark arts figure staring at me, so I'm going to look for the best images on all the free address labels I keep getting, and give the pedal some authority over that pathetic looking fellow!

The graphic is my favorite part

To be brutally honest the graphic on this pedal is what sold it to me. A few video demos seems really promising to me as well, and granted the actual reverb sounds great! However to me shimmer is not my thing, and it's really a one trick pony. I think Catalinbread makes excellent products and I plan to try their other reverbs for sure. If you are not into shimmer reverb then I would suggest looking at the Talisman or Topanga reverbs because those are sure to please for the reverb lovers out there.
