Blended from circuit-archetype lineage, dynamic feel, tone-signal overlap and tone-vector distance — the tone vector itself is derived from editorial description text, not a measured acoustic signal, so this reflects how similarly the catalog copy describes the two, not a lab measurement.

The Friedman No More Tears Gold-72 Wah is a premium wah pedal delivering vocal, throaty wah character with user customization options not found on standard wah pedals. A three-position sweep switch hidden under the treadle selects between different sweep voicings. An Allen screw under the heel adjusts treadle tension to taste. Switchable buffered bypass and true bypass modes are both transparent. Covers Hendrix-style vocal wah, cocked nasal resonance in the Schenker tradition, and expressive sweeping lead wah.
The JAM Pedals Seagull is a cocked-wah pedal, reproducing the fixed midrange peak you get by leaving a wah treadle parked at one position rather than sweeping it. That is a specific and much-imitated sound — the nasal, vocal midrange of a stopped wah — and building it as a fixed circuit removes the treadle and the need to hold a position. JAM build in Greece with hand-painted enclosures. It suits players who use a parked-wah tone as a voice rather than an effect they sweep.
