The Jacques Pedals Trinity is a wah pedal that combines multiple effects in one device. It offers three distinct modes: classic wah, envelope filter, and auto-wah. The envelope filter offers a broad range of control, making it ideal for dramatic effects, while the auto-wah can delve into flanger and phasing territory. The circuit is analog, runs on 9V DC center-negative power, and draws 12mA.1
What it does
The Trinity covers three filter-based effects in one box. The classic wah mode gives the traditional wah sound without needing to rock a pedal, since the pressure-sensitive foot controller responds to how hard you press rather than how far you sweep. The envelope filter offers a broad range of control, which the maker describes as making it ideal for dramatic effects. The auto-wah function can, per the maker's description, delve into flanger and phasing territory, putting it near the ground covered by dedicated filter, flanger and phaser pedals.1
The pressure-sensitive dome foot controller is the design decision that sets the Trinity apart from traditional wah pedals, where the player rocks a treadle back and forth. With the Trinity, all three modes are reached through that single controller.1
