Electro-Harmonix Cock Fight
Electro-Harmonix · pedal
The Electro-Harmonix Cock Fight is a cocked talking wah and fuzz pedal that combines two expressive filters with a built in fuzz. A CRY mode provides a traditional wah filter while a TALK mode uses a formant filter for vowel like, voice box sounds, and a knob sets the cocked filter position for that fixed, parked wah tone without a treadle. The onboard fuzz can be placed before or after the filter, or removed entirely, for added grind and growl. From funky parked wah rhythm to vocal, talking textures and fuzzed out leads, it is compact and characterful. It suits funk, rock, psychedelic and experimental players who want fixed wah, talk box style tones and fuzz in one small pedal.
