Features and functionality

  • The Wah Probe produces a clear, noise-free sound without a rocker or potentiometer, offering smooth control and a perfect boost for high and low frequencies.

    Source

Use cases and applications

  • It's best suited for seated playing due to the mechanics of its design, as maintaining balance while hovering a foot can be fatiguing.

    Source
  • The pedal is favored in setups including a Kramer, RAT, and Fender BJ, suggesting a versatile fit in diverse signal chains.

    Source

User experience

  • The probe mechanism is considered unique and quirky, reflecting ZVEX's approach to unconventional design choices, though it may not significantly alter the sound.

    Source
  • Owners find the Wah Probe feels more natural when approached like a synth or mutron rather than a traditional wah pedal.

    Source
  • While some users never adjust internal trimmers, they appreciate having the option for customization as listed on the ZVEX site.

    Source

Setup and maintenance

  • It's advised to check internal trimmers for stock positions if buying used, with sensitivity being one of the adjustable features.

Great sound!

Hard to configure it, but after it all, it's a expressive and perfect sound. Lovely to use with fuzz before and after. =D

"We're going to go through this awesome Zvex Wah Probe, a wah pedal, but it's actually a sort of proximity sensor, so as you move closer to the pad, you get your wah sound. The reason I went for this kind of unit is not for the sort of theramin gimmick thing, it's actually because, if you think about a wah pedal, when you turn on a wah pedal, you click that button, it kicks into those ... to the high stuff, doesn't it? Kicks into a very noticable change... "
