Catalinbread Pareidolia Harmonic Mesmerizer

The Catalinbread Pareidolia Harmonic Mesmerizer 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 all of these things as well.

In the manufacturer’s own words:

“The Depth control is able to go from just a slight shimmer in your sound to undulating ocean waves. The Rate ranges from molasses slow phase sweeps to lush tremolo and skittery chops. The Volume, obviously, controls the loudness and was designed to pull double duty as a fantastic boost when the Depth is off.”

The Pareidolia was designed for both 9v and 18v operation, the latter giving a more pronounced up-front sound to the effect, according to the company. Here is how its creators describe it:

“It is hypnotic, yet unlike classic modulation effects the Pareidolia doesn’t pwn your sound, allowing your playing to shine through. And unlike other modulation pedals it is less picky in its placement with other pedals. Whether the Pareidolia is placed pre-dirt, post-dirt, or sandwiched between, this pedal still sounds great.”
