Optical wah pedals.
Optical wah pedals.
Recently I tried a new wah from Electro Harmonix that was to wah pedals what the optical mouse is to the traditional ball mouse. From what I recall, it was one piece of metal with no moving parts, and I guess it uses a laser to sense proximity to the floor? So you're basically just rocking this metal wedge on the floor while it senses everything, no mechanical action to wear out. It did have a pretty cool sound, I do remember that much.
Electro harmonics wah looks interesting -
anyone got enough experience with one of these to know if they move away from you during heavy use? Anyone figured out how to mount one on a pedal board.
they are pretty strong - here is video of someone rocking the wah with their car ( really check it out )
