ZVex Hand-Painted Wah Probe Gutiar Effects Pedal

A wah that holds a key to a new world of creativity.




The Wah Probe by ZVex features a Theremin-style antenna
controlling a wah, which gets brighter as your foot approaches. It also features
a Super Hard-On boost circuit in front of the wah, with a knob to set the exact
level of boost for driving your wah sound. It can be turned up high enough to
make the wah crack up a little for that "something's-gonna-blow" sound.


How it works:

The probe circuit generates a
small (one or two inch high) "bubble" of RF energy at about a million cycles per
second above the copper plate. As your foot or hand (or any wet or metallic
object, for that matter) approaches the copper plate, the RF field is disturbed
and the circuit reacts by increasing the brightness of an LED, which drives a
photoresistive cell and controls the wah circuit.


Adjustments:
The simplest one of these is the
volume level of the "drive" knob. Just set it so that when you kick on the wah
it's doing its stuff at the right intensity. It goes from slightly lower than
the normal guitar volume to very loud when turned up all the way.

The
next adjustment is the RF field screwdriver adjustment on the bottom of the
pedal. If you turn it in the direction of the arrow (usually to the left for
that one) it will make the probe circuit more sensitive and set the "bottom"
setting of the wah higher and higher. It's best to hold the pedal completely
upside down so that the cords are dangling away from the antenna, with your hand
and arm completely away from the antenna, and strum your guitar's open strings
(you probably have to have it on a stand or strapped on) thru the Wah Probe.
Gently adjust the RF pot with a tiny screwdriver in the direction of the arrow
until you hear the wah get to the level you'd like it to be when you are not
putting your foot near it. There's a region where the sound of the guitar is
kind of "muffled" and the wah kicks in after your foot gets near the pedal,
which is how this unit is shipped. If you like the wah to be partway cocked into
the lower wah region just park the adjustment right where you like it. As you
get closer to the unit, it will wah higher.

The other adjustment is the
LED current control. You can usually leave this one at exactly halfway. If you
think the wah is too bright when your foot is all the way on it, just turn this
control to the left to make it a little duller at the top end.


Battery:
The unit works well with any kind of
nine-volt battery. Naturally, a nice alkaline cell will last quite a bit longer
than a carbon-zinc one, but some people are completely sold on the sound of the
higher voltage output from a carbon-zinc unit when it is brand new. To change
the battery, unscrew the four screws on the underside of the painted box.
Carefully lift out the old battery and replace it with a new one exactly as it
was installed, with the clip toward the right as you look at the bottom when the
plastic footpedal part is aiming toward you and the painted box is further away.


Note: Due to the nature of each hand-painted Wah Probe pedal,
there may be a slight difference in design from the posted image.
