WAILER WAH
WAH PEDAL
Congratulations on your purchase of the Electro-Harmonix Wailer Wah, a
potentiometer-swept foot pedal that you can rock and cock! The Wailer Wah
delivers brilliantly fluid wah tone in a responsive pedal at a budget friendly price.
GETTING STARTED
Plug your guitar or other instrument into the INPUT jack; connect your amp to the
OUTPUT jack. Ensure power is connected to the Wailer Wah either with a 9V
battery or a standard center-negative 9VDC power source. Your Wailer Wah is now
ready to go!
ENTERING/EXITING BYPASS
Toggle between true bypass and effect mode by firmly pushing the Wailer Wah’s
pedal downward, in the toe direction, until you hear a click from its footswitch.
Please note: the Wailer Wah does not provide a visual indication that it is in
either effect or bypass mode or that it is powered up.
PLAYING THE WAILER WAH
While in effect mode, rocking your foot back and forth on the Wailer Wah’s pedal
sweeps a resonant filter which alters the tone of your instrument, as if you were
turning a tone knob from bass to treble. As you rock the pedal from heel to toe
the sound of your instrument moves from dark to bright.
COCKING THE WAILER WAH
You may find your tone is especially sweet at certain spots along the pedal’s
sweep. When you hit just the right spot, carefully remove your foot from the pedal
so that the Wailer Wah’s tone remains fixed. This use of the pedal is commonly
referred to as a “cocked wah.”
POWER
Plug a cable into the INPUT jack to activate power from the internal 9V battery.
When using battery power, the input cable should be unplugged when the unit is
not in use to avoid running down the battery. If an AC Adapter is used, the Wailer
Wah will be powered up as long as the AC Adapter is correctly plugged in.
The Wailer Wah’s power jack is located on the same side as the OUTPUT jack. A
9VDC AC Adapter capable of delivering at least 25 mA of current is required to
power the Wailer Wah. The inner ring of the 9VDC AC Adapter must be negative,
and the outer ring positive. The optional 9VDC power supply from Electro-
Harmonix is called 9.6DC-200. This power supply provides 9.6 Volts DC/200mA.
