No mention of this wah/envelope filter/weirdness pedal yet?

I bought one (it is expensive, $350) but had with amazon gift cards etc shortly after christmas. This device is fantastic. My unfortunate problem is that I live within 2 miles of almost all of my city's radio/tv towers. This creates a BIG problem with wah pedals. I have been through 5-6 different brands, from snarling dog to a few different dunlops to fulltone etc, and as soon as I would crank the volume, I would be battling either mexican radio or biblical ranting (I did record the later a few times for psych/noise projects but in general, BAD). everything was sent back as "didn't work" or re-sold. i gave up for many years and ran direct boxes with clean signal to a computer controlled wah

The wahoo is a double analog filter basically, but with some digital control (99 + 99 presets. Unless I crank up its internal drive (which will eventually act like a a fuzzwah) it is pretty much completely silent. I am still tapping into all it can do, but I experimented it a lot on bass and it can get super weird. There's a nice editor for it too

If you guys have issues with crazy unwanted wah noise, look into this badboy. I was reduced at home to using a clean direct box signal to a computer controlled wah in post for the most part before this came out. Now I blast away on my fender and there is no preacher screaming at me about damnation. if i want that, i just plug in a beat up crybaby i have in the cabinet

oops no image. you'll pry this wah away from my cold undead tentacles.

i had a theremin for a while, and it would give me the same behavior with the radio frequencies. in that case though, it was fun i would add fuzz and delay to it and maybe then plug into it a filter or cv input of a synth and just mangle the shit out of everything

it is usually the 3/3 polka kinda sound haha. probably depends on the dj i imagine. i notice it at night the most from the cloud cover bouncing back even more frequencies

Yeah, sometimes I wish I didn't live where there's so much RFI.

i had the wiring re-done even and it didn't really help. My recording stuff and studio monitors are balanced and silent at least. i will get unbalanced RFI into my bass/keyboard amp if i chain from the main mackie 1202vlz used as a glorified volume mixer from computer -> monitors.

I've always lived in rentals and always right in the middle of cities. One day I'll move some place quiet and I'll be the loudest thing around.

I have zero input on the pedal (other than that it seem pretty rad and that it's awesome that it's working for you) but I know ALL about the 3/3 polka kind of shit you're talking about. The practice space next door to mine house a mariachi band for the last two years. Drove me INSANE.

Sounds like a cool pedal! If I turn my amp up and stack fuzzes in my house I pick up french radio pretty well.
