Catacombs is a pedal that completely eliminates compromise. It combines 11 of the most sought-after delay and reverb sounds into one powerful, intuitive package. Whether you desire a reliable digital delay and plate reverb, or a musical shimmer and an expansive echo, Catacombs has it all.
The Wampler team has dedicated considerable time to ensure that Catacombs becomes a vital component of your setup. You can simultaneously run one of six delay and one of five reverb programs. Each program features tap-tempo control and can be saved to one of the pedal's eight onboard presets for quick access. Delays and reverbs can operate in Mono, Stereo, parallel, or series configurations, offering a range of studio-quality effects at your disposal.
Furthermore, the pedal includes a complete software version as a plugin for your DAW, available in AAX, AU, and VST3 formats for both Mac and PC. The Catacombs plugin is complimentary for all customers who register their warranty online.
With six delay programs, you can feel the warmth and depth of analog delays (ANLG), the harmonic nuances of a Bucket Brigade Device delay (BBD), or the nostalgic modulated vibe of classic artisanal tape and mechanical delays (TAPE). Feeling adventurous? The other-worldly Echo-Space Delay (SPC) awaits. The favorite Wampler Faux Tape Echo (FTE) and an accurate recreation of the classic 2290 digital delay (DIGI) also feature.
The Catacombs houses five finely tuned reverb programs. With just a twist of a knob, you’ll discover expansive halls (HALL), a warm vintage plate (PLT), and that classic spring reverb (SPR) with plenty of “drip.” The shimmer reverb (SHMR) allows a whole new layer of sonic texture, especially when paired with an expression pedal, and the intimate ambiance of the ROOM setting creates that perfect studio reverb.
Like the Terraform and Metaverse before it, the Catacombs is designed to be as quick to dial in as possible. We replaced confusing menus and fiddly touch screens with clearly marked knobs you can adjust on the fly. Controls for Time, Feedback, Modulation, and Level (with Alt functions for each effect type) put all the essential tools right at your fingertips. Each setting offers tap-tempo control and can be easily saved into one of the pedal’s eight front panel preset locations for instant recall. It’s like having a studio’s worth of delay effects right at your feet.
The Catacombs uses a high-performance DSP engine to bring each effect to life with authentic character, and gives you eight front panel preset locations where you can save and instantly recall your favorite settings. If you’re looking to expand even further, you can access up to 128 presets with full MIDI control, it has configurable mono and stereo routing, a parallel or series switch, and an assignable expression pedal input to control any parameter (or multiple parameters).
