Cascade Reverb Guitar Effects Pedal

Description

This is a blue,rectangular-shaped guitar effects pedal. It is labeled "CASCADE REVERB" in large white capital letters. The pedal features four silver control knobs arranged in a diamond pattern. The top left knob is labeled "PRE", the top right knob is labeled "DECAY", the bottom left knob is unlabeled, and the bottom right knob is also unlabeled. There is a small silver footswitch located at the top center of the pedal. A small indicator light is situated between the top two knobs. A power input is visible at the bottom center, labeled with a standard DC power symbol and "9V DC -". Black cables are connected to the pedal, suggesting it is in use on a pedalboard, which is visible as a black perforated surface. The D'Addario logo is visible on the cable connected to the footswitch. The pedal appears to be in good condition with no immediately visible signs of major damage or wear. The knobs and footswitch appear intact. Details regarding the manufacturer beyond the 'Cascade' branding and the specific model name 'Reverb' are not visible. The construction appears to be a sturdy metal enclosure typical of and effects pedals. The style suggests a modern effects pedal designed for guitarists.

Appraisal Report

Upon examining the provided images, I have assessed this Cascade Reverb guitar effects pedal. The unit appears to be the V1 model from NativeAudio, identifiable by its blue enclosure and specific four-knob layout. The pedal presents in good to very good cosmetic condition, with no significant scuffs, dings, or damage visible on the metal casing, knobs, or footswitch. It appears to be a functional, well-maintained pedal currently in use on a pedalboard. Based on visual inspection alone, the item appears authentic to the NativeAudio brand. The market for boutique effects pedals is active. The NativeAudio Cascade Reverb, while not a mass-market item, has a solid reputation within its niche for its unique voicings, particularly its 'plate' and 'hall' settings inspired by national park acoustics. Comparable sales for used V1 models on platforms like Reverb.com and eBay typically fall within the $120 to $180 range, depending on condition and inclusion of the original box and materials. The demand is steady among players seeking ambient and atmospheric reverb tones. This specific model (V1) has been superseded by a V2, which can sometimes increase interest in the original version for its specific tonal characteristics. It is important to note the limitations of this appraisal. Without a physical inspection, I cannot test the pedal's electronic functionality, verify the internal components are original, or assess for any non-visible damage. Full authentication would require an in-person examination, including testing all knobs, switches, and audio inputs/outputs to confirm it is in perfect working order.
