One of the excellent references of the Greek brand, the Waterfall is a Chorus Bucket Brigade (BBD) type effect pedal that appears on the pedalboards of Steve Lukather, John Scofield and many other artists. Fans of beautiful modulations and "lush" Chorus, the Waterfall is one of the benchmarks of the genre!

Externally it is a JAM Pedals, it has a hand painted finish. Each pedal will therefore be slightly different from one copy to another. The controls are simple and intuitive: a Deep setting for the depth of the effect and a Speed ​​setting for the speed. There are 2 toggle switches. One allows an extended frequency range for modulation, the other offers us 2 modes of use, namely Chorus or Vibrato.
Inside, we have a quality PCB which only confirms the great care that our Greek friends bring to the manufacture of these pretty, colorful pedals. There is also a pair of chips based on the Panasonic MN3207 which announces plenty of lush.

Connected to a clean base with everything at 12:00, we immediately notice the marked depth of the effect. It spins, envelops, magnifies, all without compressing or eating treble, it's warm and perfectly flexible because the controls are very progressive and musical. The Waterfall is immediately taken in hand and has a certain tendency to sound whatever the setting. Quite 80's oriented, it can be used without problem on a lead sound (this is clearly not the case with all pedals of the genre) because it remains transparent and precise, even stacked on gain. The Waterfall sounds very "fat" with a thick grain and a complex and fluid effect. This is also valid with the Vibrato mode which benefits from a soft and progressive curve and a sonic signature which really puts your signal in value. Note, the pedal is extremely quiet regardless of the mode chosen, which once again proves the quality offered by the brand. By pushing the Speed ​​setting and activating the Deep switch, we can mimic more than convincing Leslie-type sounds.

The JAM Pedals Waterfall is a simple, ultra-efficient 3D Chorus offered in an affordable budget. We all need a modulation pedal to enhance our sound, so why not this one? :-)
