  • Page 1 CATHEDRAL Stereo Reverb Congratulations on your purchase of the Electro-Harmonix Cathedral Stereo Reverb. The Cathedral is a digital reverb pedal with seven different types of reverb plus digital echo, all of which work in true stereo. Special Features of the Cathedral Stereo Reverb: •...
  • Page 2 Quick Start Guide - Basic Spring Reverb Setup Connect the output plug from the AC Adapter into the 9V jack at the top of the Cathedral. Plug the AC Adapter into a wall outlet. Plug your instrument into the MONO/Left Input Jack. Plug MONO/Left Output Jack into the input of your amp.
  • Page 3 Using Pre-Delay and Feedback Now that we have the basic HALL sound setup, we can make the reverb sound larger just by increasing the Pre-Delay time: the time it takes for the reverb wash to begin after you have a played a note. Turn the Pre-Delay time clockwise to increase the delay time.

  • Page 4: Saving A Preset

    If you prefer you can tap in the delay time. To do so, tap the TAP/INFINITE Footswitch two or more times. The delay time will be set to the average time between taps. Filtering the ECHO Repeats Set the delay time for a long delay. Turn the FEEDBACK knob up to 3 o’clock so that you hear numerous echoes from one note.
  • Page 5 - MODES - The Cathedral Stereo Reverb has 8 modes to choose from. Each mode gives the musician a different sonic palette to work with. In addition, each mode changes the function of some of the Cathedral’s knobs. In this section we will describe each mode and the functionality of the knobs that change with the mode.

  • Page 6: Mode Descriptions

    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).

  • Page 7: Mode 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.

  • Page 8: Feedback Knob

    FEEDBACK KNOB The 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.
  • Page 9 REVERB KNOB In 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;...
  • Page 10 INFINITE Reverb Function: For all modes except ECHO, pressing and holding the TAP/INFINITE footswitch for more than 350 mS will switch on the infinite reverb function. Infinite reverb is a reverb wash that does not decay; it remains at a constant volume indefinitely.
  • Page 11 MONO/L and R OUTPUT Jacks The Cathedral has true stereo output. The output jacks are labeled: MONO/L and R. If using the Cathedral as a mono effect we suggest you use the MONO/L input and output. The Cathedral can also be used with Mono in and Stereo out. Plug your input into the MONO/L jack and then connect the MONO/L and R Outputs to two separate amps or inputs on a mixing board.
  • Page 12 You will need to hold down the MODE for 3 seconds. Nothing will occur for 2 seconds, then all of the mode LEDs will blink for 1 second. After the LEDs stop blinking, let go of the MODE knob. The Preset LED will light up solid.

  • Page 13: Warranty Information
