Catalinbread Wake Chorus/Octaver Pedal Eight-Voice Chorus with Parallel Octave Circuit and Mix/Rate/Depth Controls

Atmospheric Chorus with Parallel Octave Down

The world of dream pop lends itself well to digital chorus—unbound by analog limitations and driven by pure imagination. The Catalinbread Wake builds on that legacy with an additive chorus effect that works beautifully as an always-on tonal thickener. A clean, independently mixable octave-down circuit runs in parallel with the chorus engine, adding depth without overwhelming your tone. Unlike many choruses that dominate the mix, the Wake integrates effortlessly with your pedals and amp, offering a lush, dynamic foundation for expressive playing.

Features

• Digital Chorus Engine: Built for smooth integration with other pedals and amps, offering rich tonal thickening without overpowering your mix.
• Mixable Octave Down: Runs in parallel with the chorus and adds whistle-clean, artifact-free low end for a three-part harmonic effect.
• Eight-Voice Architecture: Delivers layered modulation for pitch vibrato at high mix settings and subtle enhancement at low settings.
• Always-On Friendly: Designed to live on your pedalboard as a core part of your tone—not just an occasional effect.

Controls

• Octave: This control runs in parallel with the chorus effect giving you a whistle-clean octave down without shedding any artifacts into the chorus path. Use this along with the Mix control to give yourself a killer three-part effect that adds a great amount of depth to your tone.
• Mix: The bulk of the chorus effects is found on every Mix position other than maximum and minimum. When the knob is maxed, the Wake imparts some interesting pitch vibrato tones due to its eight-voice architecture. When rolled back, the Wake gives you a dry signal, same as you put in.
• Rate: This controls the speed of the chorus modulation. Those here for the atmospherics may like this control set low, and those looking to jump out of the mix at a moment’s notice may prefer this higher.
• Depth: This controls the depth of the chorus modulation. The voices allow the Wake to get extremely deep while still giving note clarity. Back off on this control for a subtler effect.
