Know what a wavefolder does to your guitar signal? If you donā€™t, thatā€™s okay. I didnā€™t either until I started messing around with the all-analog Cosmodio Instruments Gravity Well. Itā€™s a dual-effect pedal with a tremolo and wavefolder, the latter more widely used in synthesis that , at a certain threshold, shifts or inverts the direction the wave is travelingā€”in essence, folding it upon itself. Used together here, they make up what Cosmodio calls a sonic refractor.
