Wah (Wah-Wah) effect block / tab
If you haven’t heard “Voodoo Child (Slight
Return)” by Jimi Hendrix (or later Stevie Ray
Vaughan) go listen to it now. That’s Wah in a nut-
shell.

(In fact, there’s also some interesting delay ef-
fects and reverb in there, too.)
Wah is basically a carefully constructed EQ filter
that you can sweep up and down the frequency
spectrum with a foot-operated pedal.

Tips and tricks for working
with the Wah-wah effect
► Our Wah effect block also includes a few
“Touch Wah” styles that simulate moving a
foot pedal based on your playing volume and
pace. If you don’t have an expression pedal,
try one of the “Touch” styles.
► Playing with Wah can increase your chances
of feedback, since this effect is boosting a
range of frequencies. Of course, Jimi would
have a great argument for feedback being a
good thing!
► Try combining the Wah effect with Octaver for
a Wah-Bass sound.
