Here’s what Caroline Guitar Company say about the Caroline Guitar Company Wave Cannon Zero Drive and Oscillation Pedal:

WAVE CANNON “Zero” is both a throwback to one of our very first unreleased prototypes of a pedal and the culmination of over a decade of messing with these circuits. It can be wild, it can be mild, it can tear your head off, it can be warm like your granny’s gravy, or as nasty as you want to be.

We’ve considered ourselves lucky to get to make these effects for you over the years. There’s a real joy to plugging into this thing, turning things up, getting a good amp to get gnarly, and feeling like you and your instrument have gained a superpower…and then hitting Havoc or starving the voltage and wondering if you really know what you’re doing with that superpower! That joy is why we do this, and why we wanted to make and share this thing with you.

WARNING! Let us be candid with you: if you just leave VOLTS all the way up, ignore the HAVOC control, and just use the GAIN, SHAPE, TONE, and VOLUME controls, you’ll be just fine. There’s nothing to be scared of, everything’s all OK here, and you’ll have plenty of really useful, beautiful, and fun overdrive & distortion sounds that stack well with other pedals and make your amp pay attention. You’re not going to do that.

HAVOC can be momentary (holding the footswitch down) or latched (hit it and leave it on). GAIN sets the drive level, VOLTS can starve the circuit (like a dying battery), TONE is the highs in the circuit, SHAPE sets the gain level and emphasis. VOLUME is self explanatory. The ORDER toggle allows you to set the HAVOC for whether the pedal is first in your chain or later in your signal path. HAVOC works its own control and the others as well. Some settings go crazy, others not so much. May your own experiments prove rewarding.

Stuff About Guitar Pedals

Guitar pedals are compact effects units that shape and enhance a guitar’s sound, sitting between the instrument and the amplifier. They include gain pedals like overdrive and distortion, modulation effects such as chorus and tremolo, time-based effects like delay and reverb, and essential utilities including tuners, compressors and loopers. Understanding basic things such as pedal type, signal order, power requirements and intended use helps players choose pedals that suit their style, setup and playing environment.

The Important stuff

Drive — Drive is an effect category that adds gain to the guitar signal, creating anything from light breakup to heavy distortion. Drive pedals are used to add warmth, sustain, and character, shaping how a guitar responds to picking dynamics and helping it cut through a mix.. Pedal — Pedals are the tools that let you shape, colour and transform your sound, from subtle tone enhancement to bold, creative effects. Whether you are adding grit, space, movement or control, a pedal becomes part of your playing rather than just an add-on. Exploring different pedals is about discovering what responds to your touch and helps your sound feel more like your own..
