 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
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
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 to simulate 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.
The Tone control only affects the distorted portion of the sound, while the dry signal
portion remains unaffected. This allows for very warm overdriven sounds that won’t
become scratchy if you try to get more treble out of the instrument.
Drive controls the amount of overdrive distortion. The output level is automatically
compensated for, so there’s no need for another master volume control adjustment
facility.
