Carl Martin 2Wah
Carl Martin · pedal
The Carl Martin 2Wah is a dual mode wah pedal that lets you switch between two completely different wah voices on the fly by pressing the back of the rocker treadle. It offers six wah models in total, three low and three high voiced, selected via two three position switches, so a player can set one classic vintage sweep and one modern or more aggressive sweep and toggle between them mid song. Built to Carl Martin's high standard, it covers everything from smooth vintage squawk to sharper, more vocal modern wah. It suits funk, rock, blues and lead players who want the flexibility of two distinct wahs in a single rugged enclosure without swapping pedals.
