Caroline Guitar Company Météore

The Caroline Guitar Company Météore is a lo-fi reverb pedal that delivers a textured, gritty reverb character distinct from the pristine shimmer of studio-grade units. Its havoc switch introduces momentary feedback and oscillation, allowing players to launch into walls of self-generating noise before releasing back to the base reverb tone. The pedal's analog preamp adds harmonic saturation to the wet signal, giving the reverb a warm, slightly degraded quality that evokes tape-aged recordings and distant radio transmissions. Sophie Allison of Soccer Mommy uses the Météore as a primary reverb source, exploiting its lo-fi character to add textural depth without the clinical sterility of digital reverb. The pedal's simple three-knob layout belies its range — from subtle room ambience to cavernous, disintegrating washes that blur the line between reverb and distortion. Built in Columbia, South Carolina, the Météore has become a favorite among indie and shoegaze players who want reverb with personality rather than transparency.
