Octopus Chorus — Hand-Built Modulation Pedal with Original Artwork
The TuneWave Octopus is a hand-built chorus pedal designed for everything from subtle movement and watery shimmer to deep, animated modulation and experimental textures.
Its six controls give you unusually detailed control over the character and movement of the effect:
Rate — controls modulation speed
Shape — changes the contour of the LFO
Dimension — introduces additional spatial depth and delay-like character
Depth — controls the amount of modulation
Animate — adjusts the movement of the pitch-shifted signal
Intensity — blends the processed signal with your dry tone
The circuit is inspired by the expressive, highly adjustable approach of the EQD Sea Machine, while Octopus is built and finished by hand in our Seattle-area workshop.
Original Hand-Finished Artwork
Every Octopus enclosure is created individually. The octopus design belongs to the same visual series, but the artwork is applied and finished by hand for each pedal, so no two examples are completely identical.
This is not a printed graphic or a mass-produced enclosure treatment. Each piece is built as both a musical tool and an individual visual object.

Your pedals are more than just boxes; they're sonic sculptors, crafting the very essence of your sound. To keep them performing at their peak, heed these sacred commandments of pedal care:
The Tenets of Pedal Preservation
- Unplug the Beast: Before diving into the cleaning ritual, always disconnect your pedal from the power source. This simple act prevents electrical mishaps and ensures your safety.
- A Gentle Wipe: Use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently caress the pedal's exterior. Remove dust, grime, and the residue of countless gigs.
- The Forbidden Liquid: Water, the nemesis of electronics, must be banished from your cleaning routine. Avoid liquid cleaners and moisture at all costs.
- The Sacred Knob: When cleaning knobs, rotate them gently, ensuring no debris enters the delicate inner workings.
- The Jack's Domain: Utilize a specialized contact cleaner to maintain the integrity of your input and output jacks. A gentle spray and a few rotations will do the trick.
- The Power Supply's Purpose: A well-regulated power supply is the lifeblood of your pedalboard. Keep it clean and free from dust, ensuring optimal performance.
- The Periodic Purge: Regularly inspect your pedalboard for loose cables, faulty connections, and signs of wear. A well-maintained board is a happy board.
- The Holy Grail of Storage: When not in use, store your pedals in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperature fluctuations.
- The Forbidden Modding: Unless you're a seasoned electronics wizard, resist the urge to tinker with your pedals' internal circuitry. Leave it to the experts.
- The Ritual of Respect: Treat your pedals with reverence. They are the tools of your musical expression, deserving of care and attention.
By adhering to these sacred tenets, you'll ensure that your pedals continue to deliver sonic bliss for years to come.
