The JAM Pedals WaterFall is a modern classic. Loved by the likes of John Scofield, Nels Cline, Steve Lukather, Anthony Jackson and John Medeski, this analogue BBD beauty has earned its spot on some seriously iconic pedalboards. Why? Because it delivers lush, dimensional chorus and vibrato tones that ooze character. And now, it’s been fine-tuned for bass players who want that same magic in the low-end!

Go with the flow

Two toggle switches give you all the flexibility you need:

  • Chorus/Vibrato selector: Switch between smooth, shimmering chorus or wild, warbly vibrato.
  • Wetness control: Dial in a deeper, more modern chorus or push things into gloriously unhinged vibrato territory!

Crank the Depth and Speed knobs and you’ll be in Leslie speaker heaven – perfect for swirling, psychedelic vibes.

Please note: Like all vintage-style BBD chorus pedals, the WaterFall plays best with passive pickups. Super-hot active outputs might clip the input stage depending on your settings.

Chorus Pedals

Chorus mixes the dry signal with one or more short, continuously modulated delays. The small pitch and timing movement between the paths creates width, shimmer and the impression of several instruments playing together. Rate controls the modulation speed, depth controls its excursion, and delay or mix settings determine whether the result is subtle thickening, a liquid wobble or a broad stereo image.

Analogue

The signal is shaped by continuously varying electronic circuitry rather than being converted into a digital effect algorithm. Component choice, operating voltage and circuit tolerances influence headroom, noise, clipping texture and the small variations in response between designs.

Bass

Voiced or equipped to retain low-frequency fundamentals and the higher headroom of a bass signal. Clean blends, crossovers and bass-specific filter ranges can preserve weight and articulation while the effected portion adds harmonics, movement or ambience.

Vibrato

Modulates pitch above and below the played note without the dry/modulated mixture that creates chorus. Rate, depth, waveform and delay-line character determine whether the motion is a gentle instability, pronounced wobble or tape-like drift.
