Frequently Asked Questions
The 'Tone' switch alters the overall character; 'Warm' provides a smoother, more mellow response, while 'Classic' delivers a more aggressive, traditional wah tone.
No, the pedal itself functions as the expression pedal; it doesn't accept an external expression pedal input.
It's designed to emulate the Cry Baby, but the active circuitry gives it a slightly different feel and a more consistent response, lacking some of the organic quirkiness of a purely analog pedal.
