Some of the most striking sounds were born from imperfect, capricious, sometimes even "disturbed" devices. The Adineko Ghost fits into this tradition: it captures the aesthetic and feel of an oil-can delay (organic grain, filtered repeats, unstable character) and adds a supernatural dimension through the Ghost section. The result: a pedal capable of being both a credible vintage delay and a generator of modern textures, without losing that lively quality that responds to playing.
The Catalinbread Adineko Ghost is aimed at musicians who want an expressive and characterful delay, beyond a simple "clean" echo. It suits both seasoned guitarists seeking textures and informed amateurs looking for an inspiring pedal, easy to use daily.
In terms of styles, it excels in rock, psych, surf, indie, shoegaze, and ambient. In the studio, it adds dense echo layers and an immediately recognizable identity. Live, it fills the space with thick slapback, atmospheric long delays, or controlled oscillation build-ups for spectacular transitions.
The Adineko Ghost combines a two delay line architecture with a Ghost section that "contaminates" the echo with a filtered upper octave. The idea is not just to add an effect: it lets you dial in the spectral part of your signal and especially choose how it interacts with short and long delay times.
The core of the experience is the trio Timing, Balance, and Ghost. Timing sets the delay range (from slapback to long delay), Balance lets you navigate between a fast line and a slow line (or their blend in the center), and Ghost introduces the filtered upper octave into the delay line to achieve eerie modulation, floating harmonics, or a more radical sonic veil depending on your settings. Finally, Blend helps you place the effect exactly where you want it in the mix, and Reverb pushes feedback up to self-oscillation for sound design enthusiasts.
Expect a vintage and textured tone: the repeats do not seek clinical transparency; they settle into the sound with filtering reminiscent of vintage echoes, while maintaining beautiful musicality. The result is ideal for "aging" a clean line, thickening a riff, or transforming a simple part into a soundscape.
The Ghost control is the signature: the filtered upper octave can remain subtle (like an aura following the echo) or become a central element, almost like a second instrument hovering above the signal. Combined with Balance, it opens a palette ranging from a biting, nervous short delay to long, strange, enveloping trails. And when you push Reverb, the Adineko Ghost can launch into musical, reactive oscillations, perfect for interacting with guitar volume, right-hand attack, or an ambient-oriented pedal chain.
