Modes

The NEW WAVE features 7 savable modes, each meticulously tailored to deliver classic chorus, vibrato, or rotary sounds. Every mode was carefully curated by Brad Jackson and Mark Lettieri to capture iconic tones and inspire creativity.

70’s – The signature sound of the late 1970s and the only mono chorus mode on the NEW WAVE. It features a simple mono LFO on the left channel moving against a stationary dry signal on the right, creating a warm, vintage vibe.

80’s – Legendary stereo chorus with two synchronized LFOs moving simultaneously, delivering rich, spacious modulation reminiscent of the iconic 80s sound.

RCK – A powerful stereo chorus that combines both pitch increase and pitch decrease effects, designed for a massive, lush tone.

VIB – Classic analog vibrato mode offering full control for expressive pitch modulation.

ROT – Emulates a rotary speaker cabinet by using pitch modulation and ratio control of left and right speeds, simulating the horn and tweeter rotation.

HRM – Harmonic mode modulates each stereo channel based on a mathematical relationship, producing unique and intriguing new chorus textures.

UC (User Control) – Complete freedom to shape your sound. No preset limits—create wild, experimental tones exactly the way you want. You’re in full control!
