Waddle
Chorus Pedal
A one-knob chorus pedal.

FreeNotes
Turn it down and the chorus goes slow and wide, a swirl. Turn it up and it speeds up and gets shallower, a warble. Speed and depth move together along one path, so there is one knob and nothing to set. A footswitch turns it on and off. It holds close to the loudness of what went in, so what changes is the sound, not the volume.

Questions
What does the knob do?
It sets the speed and the depth together. Down is a slow, wide swirl; up is a fast, shallow warble.
Is there a mix control?
No. The mix is fixed, half dry and half chorus.
What does the footswitch do?
It turns the effect on and off, and the lamp shows which. Off, the sound passes through untouched.
Does it change the loudness?
Not by much. A fixed trim keeps it close to the level of what went in, wherever the knob is.
Is it really free?
Yes. There's no trial, no key and nothing to activate.
Do I need an account?
No. There's no account and no key. You can leave an email for 15% off your first order, but you don't have to.
Will it get updates?
Yes, and they're free.
