Wah
The Wah effect creates a unique tone by sweeping the frequency of a
resonant filter.
Parameter Range Description
Wah Type Off, 1Ð4,
5ÐX (0-23)
Selects the type of Wah effect (see table below).
Wah Depth 00Ð99 Controls the amount of Wah (see below).
The WAH PEDAL TYPE parameter lets you choose from 5 settings:
Display Wah Type Description
1Wah Pedal Use an expression pedal connected to the PEDAL 2 jack to
control the wah effect.
2Auto-Wah Creates an automatic wah by opening the filter in response
to the volume of the input.
3Rando-Wah Creates an automatic wah by randomly changing the filter
every time a new note is played.
4Sample/Hold Creates automatic wah effect by stepping the filter through
various non-contiguous settings.
5-X Mod Assign Routes PEDAL 2 to a selected parameter; lets you use your
Wah pedal to control something other than the wah effect.
If no pedals are connected to either PEDAL 1 (VOLUME) or PEDAL 2 (WAH) jacks
and the WAH TYPE parameter is set to either 1 or 5, the Wah will be turned off
automatically. Also, since you can control the Wah via MIDI (using controller 3),
the Wah effect will automatically turn on if controller 3 messages are received by
the AxSys.
The WAH DEPTH parameter determines how prominent the Wah effect is.
When using the Sample/Hold Wah type 4, it controls the speed. When
using the Mod Assign Wah type 5, it controls the depth of the pedalÕs
control over the parameter being modulated. For more information on
using pedals, see page 17.
