Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the Rocktron Mike Orlando
Signature Wah.

Together with Mike we produced a wah pedal like no other. Mike’s
expressive use of the wah effect required a pedal that not only
could take the usage, but has a very musical tone.

Working with Mike we developed three custom voiced settings.
Mike mainly uses the CLASSIC setting which is a more “vintage”
wah effect. The NORMAL setting provides a more “current”
frequency sweep. The BASS setting is ideal for Bass Wah and
7-string guitars, but also provides and new dimension to the stan­dard wah effect on regular 6-string guitars.

We then combined these settings with an extra control called “MIX”.
This “MIX” control allows you to mix in any amount of wah effect to
the direct signal. In the “CLEAN” setting only a very small amount
of wah effect is added into the direct signal. In the “WAH” setting
it is full-on wah. Back this setting off to half way and you get half

wah, half direct signal. This feature is specically designed for a

more expressive use of the wah other than just “wah-wahing”. It
will add higher frequencies and lower frequencies to your overall
tone and allow you to use it rhythmically as well rather than just for
solo use.

Like other Rocktron Wah pedals, the Mike Orlando Signature wah
is stage ready. The easy access battery compartment will make
changing batteries during a gig a breeze. We have incorporated
an adjustable rocker tension screw that will allow you to adjust the
pedal action for a lighter or heavier “touch”.
