Fuzz-Wah
Logic Pro Fuzz-Wah effect overview
The Fuzz-Wah plug-in emulates classic wah effects, combined with compression and
fuzz distortion effects. The name
wah wah comes from the sound it produces. It has
been a popular effect—usually a pedal effect—with electric guitarists since the days
of Jimi Hendrix. The pedal controls the cutoff frequency of a bandpass, a lowpass, or
less commonly a highpass filter.
Fuzz-Wah effects work in series—where the output of one effect is fed into the next in an
effects chain. The routing order lets you choose whether a distorted signal should be wah-
filtered (for funkier sounds) or the wah-filtered sound should be distorted (for screaming
sounds), for example.
Horizontally drag the name of the effect to determine the order of the effects chain.

These parameters determine the tone and behavior of the wah effect.
You can control the wah effect with the Auto Wah feature, which continually performs a
filter sweep across the entire range. You can also control the wah sweep with MIDI foot
pedals or other controllers.
