Joyo Wow Wah

The innocuous-looking Cock Fight Plus from Electro-Harmonix is, in fact, three effects in one. It’s a crying wah, it’s a talking wah, and it’s a classic fuzz pedal. Separate filters handle the heavy lifting for the first two effects—a traditional wah pedal filter for the wah sounds and a formant filter produces the vowel sounds. The fuzz section opens up a wide range of tonal possibilities; you can choose to add it before or after the filter section or just cut it out of the equation entirely.

It’s dead easy to use the Ernie Ball 6185 Wah guitar effects pedal. It takes just two steps: step one, plug guitar jack in; step two, sound great. The 6185 Wah pedal is built to sound amazing no matter the footswitch setting so you’ll get highly musical wah effects whether you rock it or you cock it. With its sweet and smooth Kevlar drive, 12-degree foot sweep, and rugged construction, the 6185 Wah is pure joy for wah lovers to use.
