Blend knobThe BLEND knob is a wet/dry control for the effect outputs. Turning the BLEND knob to its minimum counter-clockwise position will yield 100% dry signal with no wet. Turning the BLEND knob to its maximum clockwise position will give you 100% wet signal with no dry. A mix of wet and dry signals will occur when BLEND is set anywhere in between the extreme settings. |
Reverb time knobIn all modes except GRAIL FLERB and ECHO, the function of the REVERB KNOB is to control the length of the reverb decay. As you turn the REVERB knob clockwise the reverb time will increase from a very short decay to an infinite decay at the full clockwise setting. When the REVERB knob is set to infinite, the reverb will not decay; adding new notes will make the reverb sound more complex. |
Dampening / Tone knobThe DAMPING/TONE knob controls frequency shaping in all modes except GRAIL FLERB, giving the musician the ability to fine tune the sound of their reverb or echoes. The knob acts as a damping control for HALL, ROOM and PLATE modes, a standard tone control for GRAIL SPRING, ACCU SPRING and REVERSE modes, a low pass or high pass filter in ECHO mode and a resonance control in FLERB mode. |
Feedback knobThe FEEDBACK knob controls the amount of signal that is sent from the output of the delay block back to the input of the delay block. With a delay time long enough to hear discrete echoes, turning the FEEDBACK knob clockwise will cause the delay block to produce multiple echoes from one note. Each echo then goes into the reverb block producing multiple reverb washes from one note. |

---|---|---|---|
Pre-delay knobIn all modes except ECHO mode the PRE-DELAY knob sets the pre-delay time for the reverb block. Pre-Delay allows the musician to put a time delay between playing a note and hearing the onset of reverb for that note. In ECHO mode, the PRE-DELAY knob sets the delay time for the echoes. The total range pre-delay and delay is from 0 to 2 Seconds. As you turn the knob clockwise, the delay time will increase. Please Note: the pre-delay time for all modes can also be set by the TAP/INFINTE footswitch. The control that takes precedence is the one that is last touched. If you tap in a delay time, then turn the PRE-DELAY knob, the tap time will be erased and the new delay time will be determined by where the PRE-DELAY knob is set. |
Mode knobThis is the white knob located in the upper right corner of your Cathedral. The MODE knob is a rotary encoder enabling the user to scroll through the 8 Modes of the Cathedral. Turn the knob clockwise to progress up through the modes: from ECHO to GRAIL SPRING mode. Turn the knob counter-clockwise to progress down through the modes: from GRAIL SPRING to ECHO mode. The MODE knob also has a push switch to save and load presets. To load a preset, turn the MODE knob to select the desired mode and then give the MODE knob a quick tap: push it down then release it. To save a preset, push down and hold the MODE knob for 3 seconds. You will then see all of the mode LEDs blink rapidly. Continue to hold down the MODE knob until the LEDs stop blinking. At this point the preset is saved and you can release the knob. Only one preset is saved per mode and the preset you save is based on the current mode. |

Mode descriptions
GRAIL SPRING — This mode is the Spring setting taken directly from the Holy Grail. The Cathedral gives you additional control over the Reverb Time and the Tone of the spring sound; both of these parameters are preset on the Holy Grail. If you would like to set up your Cathedral’s GRAIL SPRING mode to sound exactly like a Holy Grail spring, turn the REVERB TIME and DAMPING/TONE knobs to 12 o’clock and the FEEDBACK and PRE-DELAY knobs down to zero (full counter-clockwise). Set the BLEND knob wherever you like for your ideal wet/dry mix.
ACCU SPRING — Is a new spring reverb model designed specifically for the Cathedral. For ACCU SPRING mode, we emulated a medium decay, 17” Accutronics spring tank with 6 springs. You can adjust both the Tone of the ACCU SPRING and the Reverb Time to suit your exact needs.
HALL — uses a smooth and lush sounding reverb algorithm. You can set the Reverb Time to obtain the exact decay rate that works perfectly for your music. The DAMPING/TONE knob works as a damping control in HALL mode allowing you to control the sound of the reverb from both a tonal and spatial perspective.
ROOM — is medium sized room algorithm, similar to HALL mode except meant to produce a smaller sounding space. The DAMPING knob again will allow you to control the sound of the reverb from a tonal and spatial perspective.
PLATE — is an emulation of a metal plate reverb commonly found in high end recording studios during the 1960’s and 70’s. The Cathedral’s Plate reverb is a very smooth, tonally balanced sounding reverb. Works great on many different instruments and is wonderful on vocals. The DAMPING knob will again allow you to control the sound of the reverb from a tonal and spatial perspective.
REVERSE — Reverse Reverb is an emulation of the reverse reverb trick commonly performed in studios, where a note’s reverb fades-in, in reverse of course, before the note is actually struck. The Cathedral works in real time and cannot create backwards reverb for a note before it is actually played so the REVERSE reverb in the Cathedral will create reverse reverb after a note is played. The length of time between playing a note and hearing the reverse reverb completely fade in is set by the REVERB TIME knob (in addition to PRE-DELAY). The further you turn REVERB TIME clockwise the longer the note will take to fade-in. In REVERSE mode, the DAMPING/TONE knob works as a tone control, allowing you to increase or decrease the high frequency response of your reverb.
GRAIL FLERB — This mode is the Flerb setting taken directly from the Holy Grail. On the Holy Grail, the rate of modulation and resonance of the flanger block is fixed but the Cathedral brings out these parameters onto their own knobs. The REVERB TIME knob
controls the flanger’s modulation rate. The DAMPING/TONE knob controls the flanger’s resonance.
ECHO — turns your Cathedral into a digital echo. You can tap in the delay time using the TAP/INIFINITE footswitch, or dial it in using the PRE-DELAY knob. Set the number of echo repeats by using the FEEDBACK knob. The DAMPING/TONE control can be used to either low pass or high pass filter the echo repeats. The REVERB TIME knob can be used to smear the repeats so that it sounds more like a reverb than an echo effect.

This reverb pedal does everything I want and more. I have different levels of reverb set for each category and a quick turn of the knob takes me to each one. Plate, spring, hall, etc, it has everything.
True bypass. Must have.
Weird effects. There's a reverse, delay, etc. This delay actually sounds wonderful. I like it a lot. Easy to change the tap tempo too.
There's an infinite sustain where you can hold a chord or note as long as you keep pressing the button, but it also allows you to play over it while it sustains. Crazy!
I've had this pedal for a few years and haven't even fully explored all its functions yet.
Overall, an excellent pedal with probably more functionality than a typical guitarist would use. Easy to use, easy to figure out.
Has the ability to store and access pre-sets, which is truly useful (more than one would be nice, but then it would be a much more complex pedal) but probably the coolest thing for me is the "infinite" feature. I'm in a three-piece band, and when I start a song, I can set a nice lush reverb, play a chord or get some note(s) feeding back, then hold the infinite button down, and play over the "wash". It's quite an awesome sound; the wash just continues on and on and the un-reverberated guitar plays over it. Sweet. Goes back to normal reverb operation when you take your foot off the button.
I'd buy it again, but I need some time to work on it and "find" the pre-sets for different songs. Electro-Harmonix Cathedral Stereo Reverb Pedal
All reviews of this pedal that I previously encountered, rated this very high and it has not disappointed.
This is an excellent reverb pedal, with many clever variations on sound output.
Thank you Amazon, in allowing this transaction and at a substantial saving also.

Für jeden Reverbtyp gibt es einen Speicherplatz für seinen Lieblingsreverbsound!
Ein Bypass-Schalter und ein Schalter für Tap Tempo bzw. bei gedrücktem Schalter ein Infinite/Freeze Effekt, der z.B einen Akkord "einfriert" über welchen man dann drüberspielen kann, jedoch hat man dann beim drüberspielen keinen Reverbeffekt im Signal.
Die einzelnen Klangeigenschaften der verschiedenen Klangtypen kann man sich bei Youtube anschauen, jedenfalls klingen sie alle sehr ordentlich.
Hätte ich das Geld gehabt, hätte ich mir jedoch das Strymon Blue Sky gekauft bzw. das neue MXR Reverb.
+ Stereo IN/ Stereo OUT
+ diverse Reverbtypen
+ 1 Speicherplatz pro Reverbtyp
+ Tap Tempo/Freeze Schalter
+ Einstellungsmöglichkeiten (z.B. Pre-Delay)
+ Verarbeitung
- bei gedrückter Freeze Taste spielt man ohne Reverb dazu
Haven't tried it in stereo so can't comment on that but one of the best reverbs I've used.
