Our new Wake serves up an additive chorus effect that plays well as an “always-on” tonal thickener with a twist. A clean octave down circuit runs parallel to the chorus engine and is independently mixable for even more added depth. Unlike many choruses that stand out in the mix, the Wake shakes hands with your other pedals and amp for seamless integration.

While it was the analog chorus that initially set our hearts ablaze in the world of multitracking, it was that early digital gear that infiltrated the studios and found its way onto any number of ‘80s and ‘90s records. The music with what feels like the entire mix bathed in digital rack choruses went by many names but eventually settled on the name “dream pop.” While the term shares origins with shoegaze, it is one meant to convey atmospherics in equal measure with the melodic hooks and moods commonly associated with pop music. We’ve thrown our hat into the dream pop ring with the Wake, an eight-voice chorus that works with your other pedals rather than against them, while imparting dynamics and mood. As you might expect, “mood” is something the Wake has in spades, from wide-ranging rate and depth controls to a mix knob that imparts a gentle pitch vibrato. New to the chorus world is the implementation of a mixable octave-down control that adds a new dimension of depth without impeding the musicality. Many analog chorus units sound too much like an “effect,” which is why some people turn their noses up at the thought. The Wake aims to integrate effortlessly into any setup and provide a foundational building block that livens up your playing without sounding like total cheese. It’s easy to dial in, easy to leave on, and easy to get lost in. Enter: the Wake.
