“An additive chorus effect that plays well as an ‘always-on’ tonal thickener with a twist”: Don’t sleep on Catalinbread’s Wake if you’re looking for dream pop tones on your pedalboard

Catalinbread Wake Chorus/Octaver: this blue-green stompbox combines a chorus with an octave down effect running in parallel, which you can blend into your guitar signal and make it sound bigger.

Catalinbread has just launched a chorus pedal with an octave-down effect that gives you plug-in-and-play dream pop tones.

Ironically, it’s called Wake, and it was inspired by the early digital processing hardware of the late ‘80s and early ‘90s – and perhaps much of the 4AD catalogue of that time.
