Mode
Mode allows you to enable/disable the wah wah effect. If you select Mode off, the effect
is disabled. There are six different filter types available:
• ResoLP (Resonating Low Pass Filter)
In this mode, the wah wah will work as a resonance-capable low pass filter. At the
minimum pedal position, only low frequencies can pass.
• ResoHP (Resonating High Pass Filter)
In this mode, the wah wah will work as a resonance-capable high pass filter. At the
maximum pedal position, only high frequencies can pass.
• Peak
In this mode, the wah wah will work as a peak (bell) filter. Frequencies inside the
center frequency, which is controlled by the selected MIDI controller, will be
emphasized.
• CryB
This setting mimics the sound of the popular Cry Baby wah.
• Morley 1
This setting mimics the sound of a popular wah pedal, manufactured by Morley. It
features a slight “peak” characteristic.
• Morley 2
This setting mimics the sound of the Morley distortion wah pedal. It has a constant
Q.
Range
Range controls the sensitivity of the wah to controller movements. If you only intend to
make slight alterations to the cutoff frequency, choose a small value.
Bite
Bite is the name for the resonance parameter of the wah filter. You’ll know the
parameter’s meaning, if you’re a synthesizer player. Anyway, check it out: The cutoff
frequency is boosted. High values make the wah sound more aggressive.
Distortion
The distortion effect simulates an overdriven two-stage tube amplifier. Its primary role
is the simulation of the Leslie amplifier—or whatever amp might be used to feed the
Leslie speaker cabinet.
Type offers the choice between three different tube amp types: Growl, Bity, and Nasty.
Growl simulates a two-stage tube amplifier, resembling the Leslie 122 Model, the classic
partner for the Hammond B3 organ. Bity is reminiscent of a bluesy guitar amp. Nasty
delivers hard distortions, and is well suited for very aggressive sounds.
