■ Brand Introduction: Catalinbread produces various effectors in Portland, Oregon, USA. At Catalinbread, we research various vintage equipment, and a number of artists "sound" themselves, and thoroughly analyze what equipment used and what kind of play and setting was used. The Catalinbread Effect Pedal is made through the process and the legendary equipment that has been kept in the best condition to create a tonal that revitalizes underfoot. Now its your turn to build your next legend. ■Product Description: Catalinbread Zero Point is a pedal that reproduces the "Through-Zero Flanger" from the origins of the Flanger, as much as possible in the area called compact pedals. The Zero Point is the most closest flanger pedal to the operation that was once touching the open reel tape in the studio. Like the original Thru Zero Flanger, Zero Point is a "real time effect". Many modulation effects. There is no LFO or updown sweep as you set it. It is completely different from the "Franger effect" that was worn in the 80s. Thats why the Zero Point requires no knobs or toggle switches. It has evolved as a compact pedal that allows you to operate your instrument while playing with both hands, but just like the thru zero flanger, it is the only control of the tapes edge. Turn on Zero Point to activate two delay lines. Modulates one delay to simulate a comb filter created when two tape machines are moved at the same time. Then press the "Flange Push" switch on the momentary switch, and hold it as is, the delay line will slowly shift against the other delay and move until the signal is cancelled. Create zero points to cancel the phase and release the Flange Push switch and return to the original delay line. The Thru Zero Flanger is a mysterious feel that you have heard from an old record Now you cant listen to your recording without using an open reel tape, but Zero Point makes it easy to listen to that sound again. The Zero Point becomes addicttive mode (phase) when power on, and can be turned on without canceling the phase and flipping the flanger that is not too strong as it remains tape-like analog tones. While holding the Flange Push switch to turn on, the Zero Point will be inverted phase mode (reverse phase) This is a subtractive flange mode that creates a more dramatic effect by cancelling the phase. You can set it to the tone you need. There are no restrictions in the order of the effects and you can route them freely, but the Zero Point should be connected first, especially after your preferred distortion pedal. When Zero Point is turned on, the open reel tape adds compression and tape-like harmonics. At the same time, a little sway is added as the motor movement of the real tape machine is unevenly. Then step on the Flange Push switch and play will tell that this pedal is not just a flanger. This pedal is just about to create a paradigm shift. It may not be a pedal that anyone needs, but the Zero Point Flanger returns to its original form and creates a whole new personalized tone. This product is a Japanese distributor.
