Description

The JAM Pedals WaterFall is a modern classic. Loved by the likes of John Scofield, Nels Cline, Steve Lukather, Anthony Jackson and John Medeski, this analogue BBD beauty has earned its spot on some seriously iconic pedalboards. Why? Because it delivers lush, dimensional chorus and vibrato tones that ooze character. And now, it’s been fine-tuned for bass players who want that same magic in the low-end!

Go with the flow

Two toggle switches give you all the flexibility you need:

  • Chorus/Vibrato selector: Switch between smooth, shimmering chorus or wild, warbly vibrato.
  • Wetness control: Dial in a deeper, more modern chorus or push things into gloriously unhinged vibrato territory!

Crank the Depth and Speed knobs and you’ll be in Leslie speaker heaven – perfect for swirling, psychedelic vibes.

Please note: Like all vintage-style BBD chorus pedals, the WaterFall plays best with passive pickups. Super-hot active outputs might clip the input stage depending on your settings.

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 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.

Bass

Bass gear is all about laying the foundation of the music, providing depth, groove and connection between rhythm and harmony. From bass guitars and amplifiers to pedals and accessories designed specifically for low frequencies, everything here is built to deliver clarity, punch and control. Whether you are holding down a steady rhythm or shaping a more melodic bass voice, the right bass equipment helps you stay locked in and felt as much as heard.

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.
