Wahzoo Wah external switch

[enuenu]

Apparently you can attach an external tap tempo switch to the Wahzoo. What are examples of this bit of gear and where can I get one? I shop with Pro Guitar Shop and Tonefactor if you see anything in these sites that would do the job.

To access both tap tempo and mode switching features, you’ll need a TRS cable, and a dual footswitch capable of both momentary and latch type switching. The Boss FS-6 Dual Footswitch is one example. Use “tip” for tap tempo and “ring” for mode. Of course you can construct your own, or contact Voodoo Lab for the latest available options.

Hi,

I just got my wahzoo...and I am very pleased! I also purchased the boss footswitch to use with it...but for some reason I have been unable to get it to work. I am using a whirlwind trs cable....and nothing. Does anyone know how to go about it?

Thanks in advance,

Peter

What mode were you in on the Wahzoo when you tested the pedal? Exactly what Boss pedal do you have? Make sure the tempo switch is set for momentary switching and the mode switch is set for latched switching.

I hope that helps!

Hi John,

I had the wahzoo in step mode, and the footswitch is a boss fs-6. The cable is a whirlwind TRS. I will try out your recomendation in a bit and see what the results are.

Thanks!

Hi John,

Apparently I was using a bad cable. However, once I got a good cable connected to the footswitch I could control the tap tempo, but not the switching of presets on the latch side....


Any ideas?

Thanks again,

Peter

The external Mode switch should activate Vintage mode whenever you have the Mode knob on the Wahzoo set to Autowah or Step. This requires a Latching type switch. You will also want to be sure to have the external switches connected to the Wahzoo before powering it up.

I hope that helps!
