The Wawanolett PAD8GI is a serious bass overdrive/fuzz pedal from Wawanolett in Quebec, Canada. The name PAD8GI means "Thunder" in Abenaki, which is a pretty appropriate name for a pedal built around two stages of gain.
What makes the PAD8GI interesting is the two-stage design. You've got two footswitches that let you access two different levels of gain, so you can set up one stage for a lower-gain overdrive and kick in the second stage when you want to push things harder. That makes it a lot more useful in a live rig than a fuzz that's basically locked into one sound.
The pedal was designed specifically around the needs of bass players, with a range of adjustments for dialing in your sound. If you're looking for a bass drive that can cover overdrive through heavier fuzz, while giving you two gain levels you can access from the footswitches, the PAD8GI is a really interesting option from a Canadian builder that's worth checking out.
