* Cliff (answering a question about an audible thump when auto-engaging a Wah): "The thump isn't the wah, it's the Input Impedance changing. If your preset is set to Auto for the Input Z, when you engage the wah the impedance switches. This causes a slight thump if you are playing since the load on your guitar changes. If you want to avoid this, turn Input Z to 1M OHM (Input Z is in the INPUT/GTE page of the Layout menu)."

What is a Wah pedal

Preventing thump or pop when auto-engaging the Wah

  • Cliff (answering a question about an audible thump when auto-engaging a Wah): "The thump isn't the wah, it's the Input Impedance changing. If your preset is set to Auto for the Input Z, when you engage the wah the impedance switches. This causes a slight thump if you are playing since the load on your guitar changes. If you want to avoid this, turn Input Z to 1M OHM (Input Z is in the INPUT/GTE page of the Layout menu)." Sourcel

Seek wah

  • The random wah effect is also known as "seek wah", based on a Z.VEX pedal. See factory preset 258.
