So, what IS the story on Wave Cannon version 2.0, or as Caroline have decided to call it, the Wave Cannon MKII Superdistorter?

The long story short is that this thing is an unrepentant, unapologetic distortion pedal that is totally nasty and fun. This Cannon comes pre-loaded with balls (pun alert!) and is capable of going from cranked, lightly dirty amp tones to the sound of a furry Godzilla devouring a junkyard full of broken a / c window units.

It's different than the original, which was based on the classic '70s fuzzstortions we grew up playing. It's different from Caroline's Haymaker, which is a wide range drive pedal based around the rotation of a clipping network into different locations in the circuit, and which is intended to respond and feel like an extension of your amp. This pedal is really about rocking your socks off.
