Catalinbread CSIDMAN Glitch/Stutter Delay Effects Pedal

The Catalinbread CSIDMAN glitch/stutter delay is a digital effects pedal that works to reproduce echoes as true to the input as possible without filtering. It takes the idea of your old skipping portable CD player and incorporates it into a digital delay pedal that skips, stutters and glitches. When you utilize those scratched disc effects, it is pseudo-random, yet gives you a certain amount of “control” over the randomness.

The CSIDMAN features five controls: Mix, Feed, Cuts, Latch and Time. Mix gives you control over the wet/dry balance from 100% wet to 100% dry. Feed monitors the amount of feedback. Cuts, used in conjunction with the Latch knob, handles the sample rate—the relative speed that the CSIDMAN skips. Latch controls the relative time in a cycle that the CSIDMAN is in a latching skipping state. When full counterclockwise, it doesn’t skip, allowing you to use the pedal as a traditional digital delay. When full clockwise, the unit is stuck repeating whatever is in the memory address. At noon, this knob is a 50/50 balance (though random) between a skip-playback state and non-skip sample state. Last, Time monitors the echo delay line’s delay time up to 725ms.
