Hey all,
I’m fairly new to the electric guitar and looking to build my arsenal of effects. I’ll soon buy the Cathedral Reverb pedal and need to know if I’ll need to buy a delay pedal in addition to the Cathedral. It looks like it has a delay function on it that can be used simultaneously as the reverb, but I can’t tell for sure. Please help! I’m fine with buying a delay pedal as well, but it’d be nice if I didn’t have to.
September 5, 2011 at 7:30 am #115553Mr. ORANGEMemberHi ! I have the cathedral as well as Deluxe Memory Man and Boy and the delay on Cathedral is good…I mean obviously it’s not an analog delay but it has also a filter and additional reverb option and the core sound is quite good…BUT the problem is that the Cathedral is a reverb with 7 modes and for example I’m using it heavily for that so I’m not using the delay mode often because I’m using other modes…There’s just too many features on the Cathedral ! But the delay itself is good especially if you’re new to delays so if you don’t mind using Cathedral only for delay on some songs then go ahead…Anyway go ahead – you can find out if you like delays and finally end up with 4 delay pedals as me (one is for sale though
)…
Because the only thing missing on the cathedral is the ability to change modes via footswitch – I know there isn’t enough room on the pedal but still…there could be an external footswitch for that…
EDIT: Sorry, I didn’t read your post properly – no it’s not a reverb and delay simultaneously. The delay on reverb modes is just a space until the reverb comes. The delay mode is a proper delay but you can’t use reverb and delay mode simultaneously. On the delay mode you can have some reverb on the delayed notes but still – it’s not the same as running delay and reverb pedal separately… So either reverb or delay not both – but still it’s a greatest reverb pedal I know

September 5, 2011 at 7:03 pm #115557Mr. ORANGEMemberAnytime…It’s great pedal and best reverb there is (only the new Eventide Space gives me goosebumbs but anyway it’s just a big fat clunker compared to Cathedral) ! The Cathedral has got loads of features but it really doesn’t work as two pedals at once :worried: Definitely a great buy !
And as for delays – just try the Deluxe Memory Man before any other – then you can either settle with something less awesome (which I did and now I have a tough time selling it for a decent prize), get a different delay in features or get the DMM right away (which would have saved me a lot of money)…
