Catalinbread’s new Topanga II effects pedal updates its older brother’s big surf tones by adding in a toggle switch that changes the reverb core, extending decay and density for an “impossibly rich splashy spring 'verb experience.”
In addition to the “+” switch, the Topanga II features the same Dwell/Tone/Mix/Volume control set as the original, and is capable of conjuring up similar vintage-y Fender 6G15 vibes.
Start twisting knobs in conjunction with the signal in “+” mode, however, and you’re on your own, paddling out into uncharted ‘verb waters. Bon voyage!
The limited edition Topanga II is available for $219. For more information or to purchase, head to Catalinbread.
