Fuzz-Wah
Fuzz-Wah overview
The Fuzz-Wah plug-in emulates classic wah eects, combined with compression and fuzz
distortion eects. The name wah wah comes from the sound it produces. It has been a popular
eect—usually a pedal eect—with electric guitarists since the days of Jimi Hendrix. The pedal
controls the cuto frequency of a bandpass, a lowpass, or—less commonly—a highpass lter.
Wah parameters
Fuzz parameters
Drag a panel to
determine the order of
the effects chain.
Compressor parameters
Fuzz-Wah eects work in series—where the output of one eect is fed into the next in an eects
chain. The routing order lets you choose whether a distorted signal should be wah-ltered
(for funkier sounds) or the wah-ltered sound should be distorted (for screaming sounds)—as
an example.
Horizontally drag the name of the eect to determine the order of the eects chain.
Auto Wah parameters
These parameters determine the tone and behavior of the wah eect.
You can control the wah eect with the Auto Wah feature, which continually performs a lter
sweep across the entire range. You can also control the wah sweep with MIDI foot pedals or
other controllers.
