If you’re after classic funk-tastic auto-wah sounds, EBS’ BassIQ Blue pedal should already be on your list. Add wild synth bass sounds to the mix, and you’re onto a winner. Fun, dynamic and inspiring in equal measure.

Simple controls, complex sound

You’ve got threshold and Attack knobs the control the pedal’s responsive sensitivity, while a separate control changes the Q value to create even more variation in the sound character. The higher the Q value, the sharper the effect. Tweak these 3 controls to bounce between quacking wah and synth bass in no time.

Internal controls

Trim pots are found inside to set the Gain output level of the pedal, a High Pass mix-in trim pot sets the level of high frequencies from the bypassed tone to mix in with the effect. A third trim pot decides the Range of the envelope effect in the pedals UP-R mode setting. Use these options carefully to tailor the pedal's response to match your personal needs perfectly.
