NPD Catalinbread Talisman

Recommended Posts

Hi All, today arrived from a Shop in UK.
After a very long time DSP is back in my pedals chain.

I've been in the quest for long trail analog reverb for some time but I couldn't find one with real long trails and in a box.
My preferred tone, trail, decay combination was from Plate Reverbs and Talisman does it, at least for me.
Clearly DSP is the only way to fit a plate reverb in a stomp box, it took me some time to accept that and decide to buy it.

I checked other interesting analog reverbs like:

Analog real springs

DSP:


and many others, I spent some time understanding which to choose.

The Talisman was the best choice for two main resons:
  - interesting tone and trail management
  - no presets switch

  it does only one kind of reverb and it's what I was looking for.

The packages is lovely I'd say, included there are a 100% cotton pouch containing the pedal, a pick and a sticker.
It's of solid construction, knobs are tight and LED is clear, only the knobs descriptions tend to not be seen easily.

It's a pleasure sharing these bits of life in this online community.

Never give up playing. ?

Talisman...Rich ...hahaha right!

I think The Reverb is the analog spring one possibly on board and all tube

what I find in the Talisman is what a spring reverb isn't, but after using it for some time now I can appreciate that extra step it takes on the plate reverb, the controls are interdependent to each other and interesting combinations can be made giving a wide spectrum for those kind of nice deep reverbs with a long-as-wanted-trail (not to mean infite and unreal) and with the single coils of the Telecaster makes it for a tone I've always been fascinated by

I'm a lucky man, I own a Talisman (subtle eh? ? )

 

for example, do you guys know The Spellcasters ?

Three Telecasters, bass and drum, I really like them, I bought their online record and it's a very good one IMO
a piece from their album:

The Spellcasters - High Mountain - Music from the Anacostia Delta

 

let me know what you think?

and....never give up playing mates!
