This is a volume and wah pedal

I love this Volume wah. The volume section is active. The range is great and functional. The Wah is adjustable on the side. The wah isn't throaty. It is a shaft sound.

What type of wah-wah do you use? "I have a Mu-tron and the Oberheim VCF (voltage control filter). I've got an example of that on this new album (Zoot Allures). I'm starting to use some Echoplex now, which I've generally avoided in the past. " - from the Guitar Player Magazine from 1977, written down on the Zappa Wiki "Wiki Jawaka"
