Ooh-Wah II
The Z. Vex Ooh-Wah II is a captivating filter pedal that blends the expressive qualities of a wah with the rhythmic, evolving textures of a vintage analog synth. At its core, it's a band-pass filter that sweeps through its range, but Z. Vex has imbued it with a delightfully unpredictable personality. The Ooh-Wah II has two distinct modes - "Seek" and "Random." In Seek mode, it cycles through a sequence of filter settings, creating a mesmerizing, stepped wah effect. Flip the switch to Random, and the pedal generates a constantly shifting, sample-and-hold-inspired filter pattern, evoking the quirky, organic sounds of 70s synth pioneers like Frank Zappa. Controlling this sonic sorcery are nine knobs, each affecting a different filter stage. Twisting these dials allows you to sculpt intricate, evolving textures - from bouncing, rhythmic wah patterns to shimmering, burbling pads. And the pedal's clever "start in time" feature ensures your filter sweeps will lock in perfectly with your playing. Whether you're looking to add psychedelic movement to your guitar tone or you want to channel the unpredictable magic of vintage synths, the Z. Vex Ooh-Wah II is a truly unique and inspiring filter pedal. Its boundless sonic potential is sure to spark your creativity and take your playing to new, uncharted territories.
