The Bleak District Electric Wondertow is a creative multi-effects pedal combining reverb, overdrive, and tremolo in a single compact unit designed for creating unconventional, textured, and often chaotic sounds.
The reverb section uses a Belton Brick circuit—a cascaded PT2399 chip configuration—producing a unique, modulated ambience that falls between spring-like textures and something entirely its own.
The overdrive is loosely inspired by a Tube Screamer but with a fuller low end and a slightly fuzzy character, retaining clarity even at high gain.
The optical tremolo offers tap tempo and three waveform options: smooth sine, rhythmic inverse saw, or choppy square.
An expression/CV input allows for real-time rate control, adding dynamic modulation possibilities.
With an independent reverb footswitch and series signal path (reverb ? drive ? tremolo), the Wondertow provides a versatile range of tones, from subtle ambience to washed-out, driven textures.
