JAM Pedals Seagull Cocked Wah

Jam Pedals · pedal

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.
