The latest multi-effect from Wampler is a dreamy if sometimes difficult-to-master delay/reverb combo.

Great, instantly useable reverb and delay tones. Impressive breadth of sounds in one box. Solid construction. Good value.

Controls and operation can feel confusing.

ā€œModeling versus tubeā€ might be the gear world title fight of the 2020s, but ā€œLED menu versus none on multieffectsā€ is a pretty riveting undercard. I have sympathies in both corners. The ocean-deep onscreen interface of theMeris Mercury X, for instance, was a bear to navigate, but it also yielded some of the most exciting and tweakable reverb I’ve ever heard. At the same time, I’ll always be partial to having every control I need at my fingertips, and every parameter a knob twirl away from just-right.In theory, the digitalWampler Catacombs fits into the second category, the one I prefer. It’s a super-loaded reverb and delay combo pedal, with seven delay algorithms and five reverb options that sound great. Though in practice, Catacombs sometimes turned out to be a bit more complicated to navigate than I expected.
