The Topanga Burnside captures the original surf rock sound of the 60s by recreating the classic sounds of outboard reverb units. Like its predecessors, the pedal also possess the old school controls of mix, dwell, and tone. This, combined with a discreate pre-amp allows for clean signal boosting. In addition to the reverb effects, there is also a tremolo mod.

The Topanga Burnside can be powered by either a 9V or 18V adapter.
