The Kramatorsk Wah Rocker is a 3-in-1 pedal from Drunk Beaver that combines an auto-wah/filter, a DOD250-style drive and a gain recovery boost in one enclosure. The maker describes it as "a cool hybrid 3-in-1 Auto-Wah / Filter, DOD250 style drive, and a gain recovery Boost," with asymmetrical soft and hard clipping providing dynamic dirt while the fixed-level recovery boost helps the tone cut through.1
What it does and how it is arranged
The signal path runs in three stages. At the core is an envelope filter loosely based on the classic Guyatone WR2, the Guyatone WR-2 Wah Rocker, an envelope filter that RockBoard's PedalPedia describes as "the most uniquely voiced envelope filter since the classic Mutron III"21. The filter feeds a drive section modeled on the DOD 250, and everything runs into a fixed-level recovery boost at the end of the chain, which Guitar Pedal X says is there "to ensure your tone always cuts through the mix"1.
Because the three stages share one set of controls, the pedal covers more ground than its size suggests. Guitar Pedal X notes you can dial the controls to use the Kramatorsk as a standalone boost, a gritty drive, a pure envelope filter, or a combination of auto-wah and drive together1. That makes it a compact alternative to carrying a separate filter pedal, overdrive and boost.
