We’d all like a glistening chorus to spice up our tone, whether we’re using a guitar, bass or synth. Luckily enough, Jam Pedals delivers with the Waterfall!

A fully analogue chorus effect, the Waterfall produces a splashy, lively texture that blends well with overdrive and time-based effects. This isn’t your standard flat sounding chorus– the Waterfall adds depth to any situation thanks to its high-quality components.

Dig into classic Leslie speaker effects, contemporary ‘wet’ blend chorus and wacky waves of sound with the use of two simple depth and speed dials and two selector switches. Refreshing.

Here’s what Jam Pedals say about the Waterfall Chorus:

A JAM pedals favorite for a lot of guitar, bass and keyboard players, the WaterFall is serving as a mainstay on boards of such greats as John Scofield, Nels Cline, Steve Lukather, Anthony Jackson and John Mesdeski for many years now, and has established itself as one of the best analog chorus/vibrato pedals in the market.

It features the MN3207 BBD chips, 2 toggle-switches, the first to select between chorus and vibrato modes, and the other to switch to a “wetter” effect resulting in a deeper, more contemporary sounding chorus, or a more intense, deranged vibrato sound! Max out the Depth and Speed controls to get Leslie-speaker type effects!

The WaterFall is an extremely versatile, rich, 3D sounding, tone-machine that has converted even the most rigid of chorus-haters!

The WaterFall features soft-click (relay) switching.

ARTISTS QUOTES

“I like the WaterFall pedal and use it a lot now. It does what my old chorus did and some cool new stuff that I’ve never heard before!” – John Scofield

“I love this pedal (WaterFall), it sounds great and mixes well with other effects! It’s always on my pedalboard nowadays!” – Steve Lukather

“The WaterFall introduces itself as a chorus pedal but is much more than that. I use it for rotating speaker sounds as well as for amazingly wild, wobbly pitch-shifting effects that are like nothing else out there. Very special.” – Nels Cline

“I have only used chorus effects in the past to replicate a leslie. The WaterFall chorus is a textural dynamo. I use it to create moist soundscapes that warble and flow at the same time. You step on it and the ‘wow’ factor is engaged.” – Greg Koch

“The WaterFall is a great chorus and vibrato, and I use both effects to get this kind of weird but pleasant slight out-of-tuneness!” – John Abercrombie

“The WaterFall may appear to be a standard box, but its audio quality is clearly exceptional in the field. Jannis is attentive to circuit design and is continually upgrading. As well, he does serious custom work. My verdict? A major recommendation.” – Anthony Jackson

“…the WaterFall is the best sounding chorus pedal I have heard…” – Julien Kasper

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.
