Whitman Audio Wave Collapse Fuzz

I recently had the immense pleasure of reviewing the Decoherence Drive from my new friends at Whitman Audio, and, I’ve got to say, it is one of the best overdrive pedals I’ve played…EVER. Coming off of that sonic high, I was eager to dive into their next release today – the Wave Collapse Fuzz. Not only does the name instantly intrigue you, but the pedal’s layout of knobs and switches lets you know there’s something special going on here. Forget fuzz as you know it – the Wave Collapse is the raucous fuzz pedal you’ve been waiting for…

Stop playing it safe. The Wave Collapse is your passport to uncharted sonic territories. Get where you want to go fast or venture off the map – from vintage warmth to experimental chaos, this pedal takes you where rules are meant to be broken. Highly interactive controls with extra range unleash gated glitches, sputtering chaos, and lo-fi warmth – taking your fuzz beyond the guard rails others put up. The Wave Collapse delivers a clean, powerful signal, plays nice with other pedals (and buffers), and laughs in the face of interference. Ditch the rulebook, too – this pedal’s got the looks, the guts, and the mystery to fuel endless sonic exploration guided by sound, not an instruction manual (don’t worry – a manual is included).

High impedance JFET buffered input – no tone suck!

Pickup simulation circuit that enables the Wave Collapse to play nice anywhere in your signal chain

Hand selected high gain silicon transistors including one NOS BC108

Flexible tilt tone control with center catch

Not only does the Wave Collapse Fuzz scratch that itch for classic, vintage fuzz sounds, it also opens up new, modern fuzz-laden possibilities to incorporate into any rig or setup. If your board or pedals seem a little stale, or you’ve just got GAS like we all do, this deep, dark sonic stranger just may be the answer you’re looking for.
