The Catalinbread Wake is a chorus effect pedal that draws inspiration from the lush, studio-grade choruses of the ’80s and ’90s—particularly the dream pop era, where shimmering, modulated textures became a defining characteristic of the genre.
Through its four simple controls, the Wake leans into this aesthetic with an eight-voice chorus that prioritizes dynamics and mood over overt artificiality, while running parallel to a clean octave-down circuit that allows users to mix in extra depth independently. Unlike some choruses that dominate the mix, the Wake is built to integrate smoothly with other pedals and amplifiers.
Key features include adjustable rate, depth, and mix controls—the latter capable of producing subtle pitch vibrato—alongside a unique octave-down blend for added dimension.
