Blended from circuit-archetype lineage, dynamic feel, tone-signal overlap and tone-vector distance — the tone vector itself is derived from editorial description text, not a measured acoustic signal, so this reflects how similarly the catalog copy describes the two, not a lab measurement.

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 Wampler Nirvana Chorus is a lush chorus pedal from Wampler Pedals (Indianapolis, Indiana), delivering rich, warm chorus with independent Depth and Rate controls and a 3-position Intensity switch for selecting subtle shimmer, moderate ensemble, or thick liquid chorus character. Designed for transparent, musical chorus that enhances tone without artificial-sounding artifacts.
