Wahzoo
ONE INNOVATIVE PEDAL, THREE AWE INSPIRING EFFECTS
“The Wahzoo was many years in the making, but props to Voodoo Lab for taking the time to make it unique, inspiring, tough, and reliable, not to mention gorgeous sounding.” – Guitar Player Magazine
“With its wide variety of sounds and controls, the Wahzoo will not only make your guitar cry, it’s likely to make other guitarist (who don’t have one) bawl, too.”
– Premier Guitar Magazine
WAHZOO
WAHZOO® is the most versatile wah ever. Combining the finest classic wah tones, a funk-approved Autowah, our unique programmable Stepwah, and true bypass via gold contact relay, Wahzoo delivers all the sounds you’ve been looking for and more!
VINTAGE
Delivers all the clarity and expressiveness of the classic, highly sought after, Clyde McCoy signature wah. You’ll immediately notice the throw, taper, and feel to be inherently vocal and musical.
AUTOWAH
Autowah mode is simply a great implementation of this classic effect. But rather than utilizing a generic bandpass filter, it’s based around an outstanding vintage wah. Plus, the treadle position allows you to switch from normal to a reverse envelope.
STEPWAH™
In CREATE SEQ mode, you design rhythmic patterns of up to 30 wah positions. Switch to STEP, and WAHZOO auto-magically steps through your sequence. You can store 4 custom sequences of your own creation. Plus you can use the treadle to sweep from slow to ultra-fast tempos on the fly.
Whether you’re looking for the ultimate wah, or want to go deep into uncharted territory, Voodoo Lab delivers versatility and tone up the WAHZOO.
