Portland, OR, September 2 – Catalinbread has released the Topanga Burnside, an aptly named skateboarding-inspired version of their iconic Topanga Spring Reverb. Burnside is a reference to the famous Burnside Skatepark in Catalinbread’s hometown of Portland, OR. (shoutout to Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater). Every Topanga Burnside pedal comes with a matching Topanga Burnside fingerboard.
The Topanga Burnside has all the springy, surfy mojo of the original but now features a Trem knob that controls the rate of a lush tremolo effect. Catalinbread revisited the original Topanga and found that placing the tremolo between cascading reverb stages yielded the best results––the effect is not too choppy; not too washed out. Many surf rock and skate punk bands use spring reverb, tremolo or both simultaneously in order to get their sounds, and the Topanga Burnside is a nod to them. The pedal is currently sold exclusively through Sweetwater.
