Key Points

The Kramatorsk Wah Rocker is a 3-in-1 pedal combining an envelope filter loosely based on the Guyatone WR2, a DOD250-style gain stage, and a fixed-level recovery boost.


Controls include DRIVE; FILTER Balance (Dry>Wet Mix), Decay and Treshold; and BOOST Volume. The asymmetrical soft and hard clipping provides dynamic dirt, while Balance replaces the traditional clean switch.


It can operate as a standalone boost, gritty drive, pure envelope filter, or combined auto-wah. Thirty units were available through the Drunk Beaver Rocks Webstore for $150 / €150 / 549 PLN and equivalent. No demo was available at launch; sound sample references were provided.

The Kramatorsk Wah Rocker is an extraordinary 3-in-1 pedal that merges multiple modified circuits into one wildly creative stompbox.

At this pedal’s core is an envelope filter loosely based on the classic Guyatone WR2, with a dedicated Balance pot replacing the traditional clean switch to give you precise control over your clean-to-filtered signal blend (Dry>Wet Mix).

 

From there, the signal hits a uniquely voiced gain stage — sharing its topology with the legendary DOD250 and featuring asymmetrical soft and hard clipping for dynamic dirt.

 

Finally, everything runs into a fixed-level recovery boost to ensure your tone always cuts through the mix. 

 

Thanks to this unique architecture, you can dial the controls to use the Kramatorsk as a standalone boost, a gritty drive, a pure envelope filter, or combine all three for highly interactive, funky, saturated auto-wah tones!

 

30 units will be available as soon as you see this article - where they go for $150 / €150 / 549 PLN and equivalent - courtesy of the Drunk Beaver Rocks Webstore.

 

As this is a Rapid Prototyping Pedal Drop Project - there is no demo available at launch. So I will reference a couple of ones below - to give you some clue toward sound sample references!
