Introduction:

The Sweet Spot is like a xed wah.

Many of “today’s” players use a wah pedal to “accent” their overall

sound rather than using it specically to create the “wah-wah”

effect.

Unlike a wah -wah where you have to move the pedal around to

nd the tone you are looking for when playing, the Sweet Spot

allows you to dial in the exact tone you desire. You can then
access this tone by simply turning on and off the pedal using the
footswitch.

The Sweet Spot allows you to select from three different wah types

-NORMAL, CLASSIC and BASS. NORMAL is a more modern
wah frequency. CLASSIC is similar to the old vintage wah’s of
past. And BASS is a great selection to use for 7-String Guitars,
Guitars with low tunings or heavier gauge strings and awesome for
BASS players seeking that “edge!”

Then you use the SWEET SPOT knob to adjusts the wah frequency
of the selected WAH type.

The clincher is the MIX Control. This control allows you to add
a little of a lot of Wah effect to the main signal. Thus if you only
want to have a little bit of Sweet Spot “wah frequency” added to
your main signal you can mix it in using this knob. If you want
more - just turn the knob to the right and it is full on.

The tonal possibilities are endless with the Sweet Spot!
