Description
The Catalinbread Wake Dream Pop Chorus Octave Pedal is built with a clear purpose-giving modern players a lush, immersive modulation experience that fits seamlessly into a mix. Ideal for ambient musicians, dream pop enthusiasts, and players chasing studio-style depth, this pedal blends an eight-voice digital chorus with a mixable octave-down signal. It's not your typical chorus; it's designed to feel more like part of your sound than something sitting on top of it.
At its core, the Wake delivers expansive rate and depth controls, a flexible mix knob for subtle vibrato textures, and the unique ability to blend in a clean sub-octave-great for adding weight without getting muddy. Rather than overwhelming your tone, it interacts naturally with your other pedals and amp, lending itself well to both always-on use and more deliberate effects-based moments. This kind of integration is a big plus if you're building dreamy, layered soundscapes or just want your clean tone to have more movement and dimension.
Much like their Soft Focus, it's a Dream Pop/New Wave/Shoegazer's dream pedal. The layout is intuitive, the build quality is rock solid, and the octave, is musical no matter how subtle or full on you set it. Whether you're recording at home, playing live, or just vibing out in your practice space, the Wake gives you reliable, high-quality modulation with just the right amount of personality. We've been really impressed with how effortlessly it fits into a rig-this is one you'll likely leave on more often than not.
Controls:
- OCTAVE: Runs in parallel with the chorus effect, delivering a clean octave down without affecting the chorus path. Use alongside the Mix control for a three-part effect with added depth.
- MIX: Adjusts the balance between dry and modulated signals. At max, introduces pitch vibrato due to the eight-voice design; at min, outputs only the dry signal.
- RATE: Controls the speed of modulation. Lower settings provide ambient movement; higher settings offer more pronounced effect.
