Champion Leccy The Woozy V2 Lo Fi Modulation Effect Pedal, Blue

Built for dizzying effect in our brotherly loving city of Philadelphia, Champion Leccy reintroduces their powerful The Woozy pedal as a V2, sporting a few tweaks to their lo-fi modulator that make its performance that much more expressive. Supplying chorus, vibrato, and pitch shifting at its core, and offering echo and reverb secondary, this boat-rocker of a pedal is the most versatile of its kind.

Let's break down the operation of The Woozy V2. The "love" knob is a simple output volume control. The "cheer" control is your dry/wet mix, and the V2 supplies a true 100% wet and dry that the previous version couldn't offer. Low-pass filtering is cased with the "dregs" switch, and the V2 offers an extra position, lending to more characteristic darkness and shaping to muffle some unwanted "crackles". The "sway" knob controls the depth of the modulation, while the "tide" control adjust the speed of LFO. Alternatively, the speed can be manually entered with the tap tempo footswitch. Just below the "sway" control is the waveform selecting, offering a plethora of different shapes from sine to square, dual-directional ramping, and chaotic randomness. Finally, the red "hangover" control adds delay time to the effect, and the "backwash" knob adds repeats to the echo or introduces shimmer to the modulation of the hangover knob is set at zero.

Sorry, too much control talk. You want to know what it actually does, right? Well, The Woozy V2 can be manipulated to create any of your favorite modulation effects and then some. Dial back on the "sway" for chorusing, or crank it up for audacious vibrato. Play with the waveforms to achieve sea-sickening mod-loops, perfect for sound design or that weirdo solo you've always dreamed of writing. Try turning the "sway" to max for highly pitched dips and dives that dance around your clean signal. Play with the "cheer" to make it more subtle, or lean into the mind-melting drenched effect. And we haven't even touched on the echo yet! Crank the "backwash" first to apply some shimmer and feedback to your already existing modulation. When you're ready for some haunting echo, dial in the hangover to get a lil spooky.

Now, that's just the surface of The Woozy V2; you're bound to rock the boat further with more exploration. Chorus, vibrato, pitch shifting, echoing, reverb, lo-fi filtering—what can't The Woozy do?
