Cosmodio Instruments announced the Gravity Well, a dual-sided pedal combining a wavefolder and a multi-waveform tremolo, on October 17, 202412. It is the second release from the maker, following the Pet Yeti12.
The Gravity Well has a tremolo on one side and a wavefolder on the other, and when both circuits are active a third effect emerges that Cosmodio calls a refractor2. Premier Guitar describes it as "a first-of-its-kind modulation effect produced by integrating the tremolo and wavefolder"2. The pedal has five knobs: wavefolder Volume, wavefolder Gain, modulation Speed and Depth, and a Waveform control selecting between eight LFO shapes2. Guitar Pedal X lists those shapes as Sawtooth, Ramp Up, Square, Triangle, Sine, Swoop, Sample-and-Hold and Random1.
Three toggle switches expand the controls2:
| Switch | Function |
|---|---|
| Flow | Tremolo into wavefolder, or wavefolder into tremolo2 |
| Voice | Full wavefolding, focused wavefolding, or a wavefolder and clean signal mix2 |
| Tone | Bright, dark or balanced wavefolder output tone2 |
Other features include an expression pedal/tap tempo input for controlling the LFO's speed or depth mid-performance, selectable true or buffered bypass, 9-volt operation via external power supply with no battery compartment, internal DIP switches for customizing expression pedal function, tremolo volume and tone switch range, and top-mounted input, output and power jacks2. It is built in the US and carries faceplate artwork by GOLDSUIT2.
Guitar Pedal X reported the same $279 pre-order price and November 19 ship date1.
Guitar Pedal X noted the pedal was in its pre-order phase with limited demos available1.
"The skill here is going to be in balancing up the Volume of the Wavefolder with the Depth of the Tremolo - for optimal musical output."
