ENTERING/EXITING BYPASS
Toggle
between true bypass and effect mode by firmly pushing the Wailer Wah’s
pedal downward, in the toe direction, until you hear a click from its
footswitch. Please note: the Wailer Wah does not provide a visual
indication that it is in either effect or bypass mode or that it is
powered up.
PLAYING THE WAILER WAH
While in effect mode,
rocking your foot back and forth on the Wailer Wah’s pedal sweeps a
resonant filter which alters the tone of your instrument, as if you were
turning a tone knob from bass to treble. As you rock the pedal from
heel to toe the sound of your instrument moves from dark to bright.
COCKING THE WAILER WAH
You
may find your tone is especially sweet at certain spots along the
pedal’s sweep. When you hit just the right spot, carefully remove your
foot from the pedal so that the Wailer Wah’s tone remains fixed. This
use of the pedal is commonly referred to as a “cocked wah.”
POWER
Plug
a cable into the INPUT jack to activate power from the internal 9V
battery. When using battery power, the input cable should be unplugged
when the unit is not in use to avoid running down the battery. If an AC
Adapter is used, the Wailer Wah will be powered up as long as the AC
Adapter is correctly plugged in.
The Wailer Wah’s power jack is
located on the same side as the OUTPUT jack. A 9VDC AC Adapter capable
of delivering at least 25 mA of current is required to power the Wailer
Wah. The inner ring of the 9VDC AC Adapter must be negative, and the
outer ring positive. The optional 9VDC power supply from
Electro-Harmonix is called 9.6DC-200. This power supply provides 9.6
Volts DC/200mA. The actual current draw of the Wailer Wah is 6 mA. The
unit’s battery may be left in or taken out when the AC Adapter is in
use.
