The Hotone Vowpress is a compact pedal that covers three jobs in one: it works as a volume pedal, as a wah, and as a volume and wah combination at the same time. RockBoard's PedalPedia describes it as "a volume/wah/volume&wah combo 3 in 1 pedal," so a player can set it to swell notes, sweep a wah filter, or do both with the same rocker pedal1. It sits in the volume pedal family alongside units like the Ernie Ball VPJR and the Morley Mini Volume, and in the wah family with pedals like the Joyo Wah-I Classic Wah, but combines both functions where those pedals carry one.
What it does
The Vowpress is labeled "WAH VOLUME" on the product page, reflecting its dual role1. In volume mode it acts like any pedal in the volume pedals family, controlling the level of your signal with the rocker. In wah mode it sweeps a filter in the manner of wah-wah pedals. In the combined mode, both functions run together, which is the pedal's distinguishing feature compared with single-function pedals such as the Boss FV-50H or the Morley Power Wah Volume.
Circuit and power
The circuit is analog1, which matters for players who prefer an unconverted signal path through a volume pedal. It runs on 9V DC, center negative, drawing 25mA1. That current draw is modest, but the pedal needs its own power supply connection rather than running passively, unlike purely passive rockers such as the Morley M2 Passive Volume.
Where it sits in Hotone's range
Hotone builds the Vowpress as a compact press-style pedal that combines three functions in one unit: volume, wah, and a volume and wah combo mode1. The circuit is analog, it runs on 9V DC center-negative power and draws 25mA1. Within the maker's range it is the pedal that takes on the volume and wah pairing specifically, in a form factor sized for pedalboards1.
