What we have here is a smart stomper of the analog ilk . Though the ‘ 80s are back with a Day-Glo vengeance , chorus is still one of the most maligned and misunderstood guitar effects this side of the flanger . The Catalina aims to change all that by offering a unique interpretation of the dimensional effect with the Dynamic setting . This amazingly interactive feature has two modes . In Hard mode , the chorus creeps in only when striking the strings more aggressively . This works wonders for palm-muted verses that chug under
the lyrics dry and then ripping into a chorus and letting the strings go wide and dimensional with open chording , spreading tendrils of tone all over the room . In Soft mode , the opposite dynamic is revealed . Lighter passages shimmer and sparkle with liquidity in the upper registers – which is great for those Pretenders , Police or Smiths-style arpeggios , while digging harder quashes the effect for a mighty focused tone . Pair this analog wonder up with a touch sensitive amp or overdrive and forget about tap dancing between song dynamics . This is a game-changer in the watery world of analog chorus .
