The Wave Cannon Zero is the ultimate evolution of Caroline’s drive pedal lineage, a culmination of years spent perfecting the art of "drivestortion." Originally, the Wave Cannon kickstarted Caroline's legacy of handcrafted, innovative designs that push sonic boundaries. The Zero is more than just a return to form—it's the apex predator of overdrive and distortion, merging years of playing, modifying, and crafting into a new beast that delivers a spectrum of tones from mild crunch to full-on stack-crushing fury.
With its heritage deeply rooted in the original prototype that laid the foundation for Caroline’s relentless experimentation, the Wave Cannon Zero embodies everything that made the original special, while adding groundbreaking new features. The pedal’s intuitive drive controls let you fine-tune every aspect of your sound—rich overdrive, harmonic distortion, and a powerful shape knob to sculpt your tone. This pedal’s circuit has the headroom and clarity to enhance your signal chain, but also the raw power to push your amp to its limits.
The updated Havoc™ control introduces controlled chaos like never before. Momentary or latching functionality, courtesy of the brilliant John Snyder at EAE, gives you the freedom to experiment with positive feedback and oscillating textures that can move from subtle dirtiness to radical, gated artifacts and glitchy envelope collapses.
No matter where you place it in your chain, the Wave Cannon Zero is versatile enough to deliver defined overdrive tones or utter tonal madness. It’s all up to you—and the pedal won’t break a sweat keeping up.
