Catalinbread Montavillian MkII differences?

Post by grokostimpy »

Anyone know if there is any difference in the MkII besides the paint job?

I'm looking at the Montavillian because I love the cut knob. Seems like a good choice of the relatively few delays that offer a high-cut.

I was under the impression that there were no changes made to that circuit.

Neat-o.

Any current/previous owners have anything to say about the Montavillian?

I'm particularly curious if running at 18v makes it even better :)

The circuit wasn't changed, just the artwork.

Running it at 18v will give it more headroom and a bit more volume.

I prefer running mine at 18v. The cut knob is a thing of beauty. You can achieve a variety of different delay sounds with it.

Has a very cool atmospheric/almost-modulated-but-not-quite thing going on. As long as you're cool with not having completely "clean" repeats, get it.
I had one for a bit, wouldn't mind having it back at all.
