CATHEDRAL The Cathedral is EHX’s modern entry into the reverb arena. With eight reverb types, stereo capability, presets, a generous control set, and the super cool Tap/Infinite switch, this is the ‘verb that can do it all. Modes include Grail Spring, Accu Spring, Hall, Room, Plate, Reverse, Grail Flerb, and Echo, giving you a bonus delay mode. With the ability to store eight presets, you have all the reverb you could ever need. Controls for Blend, Reverb Time, Damping/Tone, Feedback, and Pre-Delay allow you to shape each reverb type to your liking, offering both classic and far- out ‘verb sounds. The infinite switch is especially fun in Echo mode, as it acts like a hold switch, creating infinite echo repeats for you to play over, creating perfect backdrop drones. Perhaps the best part about the Cathedral is its relatively low price, compared to other reverb pedals with similar feature sets. It’s easy to overlook some pedals when they’ve been out for a while because there are so many options out there, but if you’re looking for a quality, do-it-all reverb stompbox, make sure you take walk through the halls of the Cathedral before you make up your mind.
