What is a Wah pedal
Preventing thump or pop when auto-engaging the Wah
- Cliff (answering a question about hearing a 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)." Source

Seek wah
- The random wah effect is also known as "seek wah", based on a Z.VEX pedal. See factory preset 258.
Simulating other wah pedals
- This page contains saved effect blocks which mimic existing wah pedals: * Mother-of-all-pedal-and-effects-emulations thread
