Description

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

Chorus Pedals

Chorus mixes the dry signal with one or more short, continuously modulated delays. The small pitch and timing movement between the paths creates width, shimmer and the impression of several instruments playing together. Rate controls the modulation speed, depth controls its excursion, and delay or mix settings determine whether the result is subtle thickening, a liquid wobble or a broad stereo image.

Guitar Pedals

Guitar pedals are compact effects units that shape and enhance a guitarâ€™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.

Analogue

Analogue equipment uses continuous electrical signals rather than digital processing to shape and produce sound. In music gear, analogue circuits are found in pedals, amplifiers, and effects that rely on physical components such as transistors, valves, resistors, and capacitors.

Analogue sound is often described as warm, organic, and responsive, with natural saturation and subtle imperfections that react to playing dynamics. It is valued for its feel and character, particularly in overdrive, fuzz, modulation, and classic effects where musical interaction is more important than precision.

Chorus

Chorus is a modulation effect that thickens and widens a sound by duplicating the signal, slightly detuning it, and modulating its pitch over time. This creates the impression of multiple instruments playing together, resulting in a rich, shimmering, and spacious tone.

It is commonly used on guitar, bass, and keyboards to add movement and depth, working especially well with clean or lightly driven sounds. Chorus became strongly associated with 1980s music but remains widely used across pop, rock, ambient, and modern styles for its ability to make a sound feel fuller and more animated.

Guitar Pedal

Vibrato

Vibrato is an effect that creates a subtle or pronounced pitch variation by modulating the signal up and down over time. Unlike chorus or tremolo, vibrato affects pitch only, producing a wavering or shimmering sound without changing volume.

It is used to add movement, expression, and a sense of warmth to a sound, working especially well on sustained notes and chords. Vibrato can range from gentle and musical to bold and psychedelic, and is commonly found in vintage amplifiers, modulation pedals, and classic studio effects.
