Catalinbread CSIDMAN Ghost Edition for 2025
Relaunched with new control and even more lo-fi aliasing
5,0 / 5,0 | 
The Catalinbread CSIDMAN Ghost Edition is a newly updated version of their twisted, haunting 2016 digital delay pedal, and adds new controls.
CSIDMAN Ghost Edition
The Catlinbread CSIDMAN delay pedal has always embraced its digital nature. It leans into the quirks of early CD technology, recreating the random skips and stutters of a portable disc player. Unlike traditional analog delays, it has a clean, unfiltered echo path, but it can also fracture those repeats into unpredictable glitch patterns.
This new 2025 Ghost version maintains this core design while introducing new spectral textures, so you have even more parameters to play with.
Ghost Knob
The most significant change is the introduction of the new Ghost knob, which serves as a sample rate reducer for the entire effect. This lowers the fidelity, layering an intense, lo-fi aliasing on top of the already chaotic skipping, creating delays that sound shredded or supernatural.
Additionally, the Cuts and Latch controls have been merged into a single knob. The other controls are identical to the original. Feed adjusts the feedback intensity, Mix blends the dry and wet signals, and Time sets the delay length, from a quick slapback up to around 700ms.
Analog Signal Path
This otherworldly digital delay has a 100% analog dry path as part of the circuit design, preserving your original tone while allowing the repeats to disintegrate into madness. Perfect for musicians who want that broken, skipping, glitching delay effect.
It is not your regular digital delay pedal and will appeal mainly to players who want something a little chaotic and different.
Price & Availability
The official listed MSRP is £149.94 (plus tax/shipping), and it should be available at dealers, including Thomann, very soon.
I’m expecting it to land at a similar price to the recent Adineko Ghost. We will update you once it is available at Thomann.
