Mods and upgrades

  • Adjusting the input gain trimpot by 10-15% can tailor the Wahcko's output to specific guitars and rigs, especially useful for higher output pickups.

    Source
  • Moving the internal pot one notch back from the factory setting reduces treble harshness, making the pedal more versatile across different wah selector positions.

Features and functionality
