The Catalinbread Wake is an eight voice chorus pedal with an added sub octave blend, inspired by the lush, studio grade rack choruses of the 1980s and 1990s and the shimmering, modulated textures of dream pop and shoegaze. Its eight chorus voices create a deep, dimensional swirl, while the octave down control adds weight and fullness that works especially well for bass as well as guitar. Controls for rate, octave, depth and mix let it range from subtle, always on thickening to lush, watery modulation. Built to sit in a mix without dominating, it is a refined chorus aimed at ambient, dream pop, shoegaze and bass players who want a rich, classic digital style chorus with extra low end body.
The Walrus Audio Fundamental Chorus is part of the brand's affordable, streamlined Fundamental series, delivering quality analog-style chorus with an intuitive, slider-based interface. A dry/wet Mix slider blends the effect while mode switches select different intensities of chorusing from Light to Heavy, making it easy to dial subtle shimmer or lush, deep modulation. Designed as an accessible entry-level pedal without sacrificing tone, it offers warm, watery chorus textures suitable for clean rhythm, ambient layers, and vintage-style modulation. The simple layout makes it beginner-friendly and quick to use, while still sounding musical and usable on a serious board. It suits players wanting straightforward, good-sounding chorus at a budget price, covering everything from gentle thickening to pronounced swirl in a compact, well-built enclosure.
