Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, the 6.3mm jack is standard and should work with most expression inputs, but always check your amp’s manual for specifics.
While technically possible, the linear taper isn't ideal for wah; it will feel less natural and responsive than a wah pedal designed for expression control.
It sets a floor level for the pedal's range; this prevents the signal from completely cutting out when the pedal is at its lowest position, useful for gradual fades.
