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.

Jam Pedals

In the current JustPedals catalogue, Jam Pedals is represented by Overdrive Pedals, Fuzz Pedals and Tremolo & Vibrato Pedals. Current listings include Eureka Fuzz, Ripple Phaser and Chill Tremolo. That makes the range relevant to players looking for drive, gain and clipping, plus time-based effects and ambience. Check each model for its exact circuit or processing platform, controls, power requirements and connections, particularly where the catalogue includes both pedals and supporting gear.

Chorus Pedals

Chorus pedals mix the dry signal with one or more short, modulated delays to create movement, width and gentle pitch variation. Rate controls the speed of the modulation; depth controls its excursion; blend, tone and stereo routing determine how prominent the effect becomes. Slower, shallow settings can add width without obscuring the note, while deeper settings move towards a seasick or synthetic wobble. Analogue bucket-brigade and digital designs can behave differently, so check mono compatibility, headroom and the placement of the pedal after drives or before a mixer.

Analogue

Analogue products use continuous audio circuitry for some or all of the signal path, so clipping, filtering or modulation arises from physical components rather than sampled algorithms. The label does not guarantee a particular tone; component choice, headroom, bias, noise and the surrounding gain stages still matter. Check whether the switching, presets, control section or cabinet stage is digital when the exact signal path is important.

Bass

Bass products are designed or voiced to retain low-frequency information and usable headroom with bass guitar or other low-register sources. Controls may centre on clean blend, low-end EQ, compression, crossover points or drive character. A guitar pedal can sometimes work well on bass, but it may remove the fundamental or compress the transient. Check the frequency response, input impedance, output level and dry-signal path with the intended tuning and amplifier.

Vibrato

Vibrato varies the pitch of the signal over time, unlike tremolo which varies its level. Rate controls speed; depth, waveform, mix, phase and stereo routing determine whether the result is subtle movement or a strong seasick wobble. Check whether the design is true pitch vibrato or a chorus-like blend, how it handles chords, and whether the pedal should sit before or after drive and ambience.
