Jackson Audio is excited to announce the release of the NEW WAVE, a stereo, 100% analog chorus/vibrato pedal that uses real MN3007 BBD chips and a digital microprocessor for precise control, presets, and midi. The pedal has seven savable presets tailored for classic and modern Chorus, Vibrato, and Rotary sounds, including 70's, 80's, Rack, Vibrato, Rotary, Harmonic, and User Control. It offers five digitally controlled LFO wave shapes and unique phase control that allows for synchronizing or 180-degree phase shifting between the two LFOs. We had the pleasure of working with Grammy Winning Artist Mark Lettieri (Snarky Puppy) to create the ultimate chorus pedal. Please welcome a new way to NEW WAVE!
DESIGN
We set out to make the best sounding and versatile 100% analog, stereo chorus/vibrato pedal. To achieve this we knew we could not go digital but needed to add the features that digital products provide. Using authentic MN3007 BBD chips, operating at 15V like the 80's units did. This pedal delivers the classic sounds with added modern precision and all new sounds. Powered by a digital microprocessor, the pedal offers unparalleled control over the analog circuit for unmatched waveform accuracy and programmable presets, features and MIDI. Designed for guitar, bass and keys with an easy to operate interface.
MODES
7 savable modes each tailored for a classic chorus, vibrato or rotary sound. Every mode on the NEW WAVE was carefully curated by Brad Jackson and Mark Lettieri.
70’S - THIS IS THE SOUND OF THE LATE 70'S AND THE ONLY MONO CHORUS IN THE NEW WAVE. SIMPLE MONO LFO ON THE LEFT SIDE MOVING AGAINST A STATIONARY DRY SOUND ON THE RIGHT SIDE.
80’S - LEGENDARY STEREO CHORUS WITH TWO LFO'S MOVING AT THE SAME TIME.
RCK - STEREOCHORUS WITH A PITCH INCREASE AS WELL AS A PITCH DECREASE! DESIGNED FOR A GIANT TONE!
VIB - CLASSIC ANALOG VIBRATO WITH COMPLETE CONTROL.
ROT - USES PITCH MODULATIONAND RATIO CONTROL OF LEFT AND RIGHT SPEED. THIS EMULATES THE HORN AND TWEETER IN A ROTARY SPEAKER CABINET.
HRM - HARMONIC MODE MODULATES EACH CHANNEL IN A MATHEMATICAL RELATIONSHIP FOR SUPER INTERESTING NEW CHORUS SOUNDS!
UC - USER CONTROL IS FULL CONTROL. WE DON’T PLACE ANY LIMITS ON THE USER SO YOU CAN MAKE THE PEDAL SOUND AS WILD AS YOU LIKE. YOU'RE IN CONTROL!
