Electro-Harmonix Cock Fight Plus
Electro-Harmonix · pedal
The Electro-Harmonix Cock Fight Plus is a cocked talking wah and fuzz pedal that builds on the original Cock Fight with a rugged, lightweight design and a traditional rack-and-pinion treadle mechanism. It contains two expressive filters: a traditional wah filter and a formant filter for vowel-like talking effects, plus a lively fuzz section that can be placed before or after the filter or removed entirely. As a wah it is smooth and even with a sweet quack reminiscent of a classic Cry Baby, cleaner in the treble than many budget rivals, and adding fuzz exaggerates the effect with more bottom end and saturated gain. Routing the fuzz after the filter gives classic rock tones, while placing it before yields synth-like textures. It suits rock and experimental players wanting wah, talking filter, and fuzz in one unit.
