Description

The ZVEX Ooh Wah II is not just another wah pedal; it's an innovative combination of a dynamic wah and sequenced tremolo, delivering a kaleidoscope of sonic possibilities that will elevate your guitar playing to new realms. With a design inspired by ZVEX's renowned Seek Wah, this pedal takes creativity to the next level by integrating a sequencer with a random mode, allowing for both structured and spontaneous soundscapes.

Equipped with eight wah settings, the Ooh Wah II provides a versatile palette to craft your unique tone. You can precisely adjust your sequence with options for 4, 6, or 8 steps, giving you control over the rhythm and intensity of your sound.

With a simple stomp of the mode switch, you can activate the randomized bandpass filter, injecting unpredictability and excitement into your playing. Whether you're seeking to recreate classic sounds or forge new auditory paths, the ZVEX Ooh Wah II is your ticket to creative freedom.
