Wah & Filter Pedals

Wah and filter pedals emphasise or remove a moving part of the frequency spectrum. A treadle wah sweeps a resonant peak through the signal, while auto-wah, envelope and fixed filters use playing level, an LFO or a set frequency to create vocal, synth-like or cocked-wah textures. Q, sweep range, input loading, bypass type and placement all affect the response. Before gain, the filter determines which frequencies clip; after gain, it shapes the finished distortion. Check whether the circuit expects a direct guitar signal and whether the switch is mechanical, soft-touch or optically controlled.
