Description

Edit description

Step into the world of sonic exploration with the Nerdvana New Wave, a fuzz effects pedal that pays homage to the legendary Univox Square Wave Fuzz. This pedal is not just an ordinary fuzz; it's a sonic powerhouse that delivers a unique texture of bright, cutting, squared germanium clipping tones reminiscent of the raw, gritty sounds found in Nirvana's iconic In Utero album. Whether you're looking to channel your inner grunge rock legend or carve out your own distinct sound, the New Wave offers all the fuzz tones you crave with a modern twist.

Designed for the modern guitarist who appreciates vintage craftsmanship, the New Wave features a simple yet effective control layout. The BALANCE knob acts as your volume control, and for the best results, crank it to maximum to maintain unity gain levels—perfect for overcoming the less-than-ideal output levels vintage fuzz pedals are known for. Meanwhile, the WAVE icon control not only adjusts gain but also provides a bass cut, allowing you to sculpt your tone to perfection. This pedal's straightforward design makes it a breeze to dial in the perfect fuzz tone, leaving you more time to focus on what truly matters—your music.

Constructed with NOS 1960's Germanium clipping diodes, the New Wave ensures your sound retains that authentic vintage character, while its true bypass switching guarantees your tone remains pristine when the pedal is not in use. Dive into the depths of fuzz and let the Nerdvana New Wave inspire your next musical masterpiece.

Clone of the vintage Univox Square Wave Fuzz
Bright and cutting squared germanium clipping
BALANCE control for volume unity gain
WAVE icon control for gain and bass cut
NOS 1960's Germanium clipping diodes
