The Catalinbread Pareidolia is a lush sounding Vibrato/Tremelo/Vibe modulation pedal that actually is a near perfect replication of the 1961 Fender Twin Vibrato in the video on the product page (the one with Carl Verheyen playing) which is what Catalinbread intended. It is simple to control with the Rate, Depth and Volume controls and as you will hear in the demo the Depth has a wide sweep from subtle to deep throbbing sounds. Similarly the rate goes from a very slow cycle to a shrill ultra fast cycle and the volume not only controls how much effect you hear but also acts as a boost if you crank it up past halfway.

From Catalinbread:
The 1961 Fender Twin Amp… The Vibrato in this amp was actually more than Tremolo. I am not sure exactly what the effect is, other than it is an amazing sound!! We used this as the starting point adding a lot more range of speeds and much much more depth. It isn’t quite a vibe, it isn’t quite a phaser, it isn’t quite a tremolo, it isn’t quite a filter – though it is exactly all of these things.

The Pareidolia was designed for both 9v and 18v operation, the latter giving a more pronounced up-front sound to the effect, in the demo I used a regular 9v power supply.
