Sonuus Wahoo Wah/Filter Pedal

Full Description

Versatile Wah Multi-Effects Pedal

The Sonuus Wahoo is an innovative multi-effects pedal designed for use with guitars, synths and more. What sets the Wahoo apart from the rest of the FX pedals out there is its coupling of Wah and Filter effects in a single unit. The dual analog filters deliver exceptional clarity with a wide sonic palette you can control. The wide frequency and resonance range allows you to achieve virtually any Wah or Filter sound you can think of. The versatile design makes it ideal for a range of music genres and applications, from the classic British Wah sound to the resonant bass envelope filters.

Pure Analog Signal Path

The fully analog signal path is incorporated to capture the warmth and grit of analog circuitry, resulting in a unique sound and tonal palette. You can adapt the analog circuit’s response to create virtually any sound or tone you desire. The pedal features 100 factory presets and 100 user presets, allowing you to save and recall settings instantly. This gives you the ability to create your own custom filters for added versatility. You can achieve everything from vocal vowel Wah to Overdrive and everything in between.

InfiniQ Pedal Sensor

The pedal itself utilises the unique patented InfiniQ pedal sensor. This custom position sensor provides high-end precision and control with no mechanical couplings. On conventional guitar pedals, the unit operates using a potentiometer. The downside of this is that they can wear out quite quickly, making your effects scratchy and not concise. The innovative InfiniQ pedal sensor eliminates this, ensuring the pedal will never wear out.

Ergonomic Controls

The flexible control panel features an ergonomic layout with clearly annotated controls. The top of the pedal features up and down navigation buttons, allowing you to toggle between presets. The pedal is comprised of three sections: Level, Filter and Mode. Each section is designed to control various parameters, the Level section features an encoder that allows you to switch between Drive, Output, Dry/Wet and Filt Mix settings. The Filter section allows you to switch between Hi/Lo Q, Hi/Lo Frequency and the Shape of your filter, while the Mode section lets you switch between various modes for added flexibility.

Robust, Compact Design

The compact and highly robust design ensures a long life span and optimal durability. The metal body and high-grade materials make the Wahoo perfect for life on the road, easily withstanding the rigours of transportation and extensive live use. Transparent-True-Bypass allows you to reap all the benefits of true-bypass without the problem of switching noise. Additionally, the pedal features a USB connection which can be used with the Wahoo Desktop Editor Software, allowing you to edit and manipulate presets. The USB-MIDI can also be used to sync internal LFOS and automate the filter parameters.
