This pedal was part of a special offering for those that attended Reverb’s 2023 Chicago Boutique Effect Pedal Showcase, hosted at Chicago Music Exchange. Remaining inventory is now available.
The Soundwave Breakdown takes the idea of a screaming fuzz pedal and turns it inside out, utilizing specially matched transistors turned backwards to get its bombastic sound. The exact positions of the knobs yield completely different sounds, ranging from fuzz, buzz, and grind, to bleeps, synth sounds, etc. A vast universe of gnarliness is yours, with octaves, oscillations, and overtones waiting just behind your next solo. Be forewarned, it’s only grizzled psycho fuzz all the time.
