Frequently Asked Questions
Unlike typical wahs, this one allows for precise frequency shaping, adding a level of customization to tailor the sound to specific pickups and amps.
It's more resistant to scratches than a standard chrome finish, but still requires care – a quick wipe with a microfiber cloth will keep it looking pristine.
While designed with guitar in mind, the EQ adjustments allow for use with bass, but you'll likely need to experiment to find a sweet spot and avoid muddiness.
