CHECK OUT THIS COOL WOOZY REVIEW! Here’s a little excerpt:
The brilliance of the blur
Review by: Amit Peled
Is it a chorus/vibrato? Sure, maybe, yeah.. But you will quickly slide out of that category in complete tonal wobble. Is it a warped tape delay effect based on a controllable LFO? Sure, but you’re one turn of a knob away from redefining that idea altogether. The Woozy can function as a chorus, vibrato, or lo fi modulation unit. More than all of those things it is the Woozy – that means that it has some features that most of your standard and even boutique pedals won’t have accessible at your fingertips – let’s explore them!

For the V2 Woozy we squeezed out the last few percent we could from the design. It has exactly the same sound we’ve just improved a few things under the hood to give better performance including a quieter PCB, a redesigned cheer knob with a true 100% dry/ wet blend and an extra position on the dregs switch.
The Woozy is a lo-fi modulation pedal that covers a lot of ground. It goes from pleasant and unassuming to noisy and full on wibbletastic. It covers chorus, vibrato, spangly sounds, square wave pitch shifting laser and haunting reverb/ warped tape delay weirdness.
Current draw 60 mA
The Woozy takes a standard BOSS style +9V centre negative power supply. NOT SUPPLIED!
All Champion Leccy pedals and devices are designed, built and tested in a South Philly rowhome.

There is something magical about the ways the different sections of this pedal interact. It’s so much more than a modulation pedal with a lo-fi vibe, but it for sure does that exceedingly well. Im not sure exactly how to explain the way that it makes your guitar sound, but you can dial in things like subtle tape like saturation and drift. At higher settings take some dramamine, because you gonna be sea sick (but in the best way possible).
I love the instant ambiance change you get from the “dregs” switch. Then of course there is the echo/shimmer section which is special in its own right. Has a signal fattening “doubler” effect all the way to craziness that is hard to tame but fun as all get out.
My most favorite thing about the Woozy tho is the LFO. It’s got tons of usable range, LOTS of waveforms/ramps and small changes to the shape of oscillations yield wildly different tonal textures and sonic artifacts. This is a pedal you can get lost into, spending unreasonable amounts of time subtly changing parameters as you drift around this ocean of modulation. Great stuff.
