One of the most lush and adaptable reverbs ever made, the Alesis Microverb is a late-1900s digital artifact, blurring the line between yesterday and yesteryear. They’ve painstakingly crafted some of that unit’s most memorable patches and outfitted them with several tasteful modern amenities. A nod to that era, we call this “CB Paint.” Much like the graphical equivalent it takes its namesake from, the Microverb wrested control of studio quality digital reverb and placed it in the hands of the everyday person. Because digital ‘verb was still an expensive undertaking in those days, Alesis had to cut a few corners to make everything fit both form factor and price point. Those cut corners present themselves as interesting reverb reflection filter options that exemplify this classic box without any of the pedalboard integration hassle. Catalinbread has taken the liberty of outfitting their CB Paint with six of the more unique patches from the original Microverb, along with the gate and reverse patches, adding an actual Mix control, an adjustable low-pass filter and an “onset” control that determines how long it takes the reverb to appear after the initial input signal. They’ve had one of these around the offices for years and keep coming back to it. You will too.
CB Paint Reverb Pedal Features
CONTROLS
TONE: Controls a 2-pole low-pass filter for softening high peaks, working just like a tone control. Up is bright, down is dark.
MIX: This control dictates how much “dry signal” (whatever you feed into the CB Paint) is heard versus the “wet signal” (the sound of the CB Paint itself). At minimum, the only thing you will hear is whatever you run into the pedal. At maximum, you will hear just the reverberated signal.
ONSET: Otherwise known as “pre-delay”, this controls how long the reverb kicks in after playing. At minimum, the CB Paint will operate like every other reverb—the sound is instantaneous. At maximum, the reverb takes ~200ms to kick in. In gate mode, Onset controls the gate time. In reverse mode, Onset controls how much smearing there is on the reverse sound to make it sit in the mix a little better.
MODE: This knob is an 8-way switch that gives you 8 different reverb patches from the Microverb:
