The Next Sound CH-07 Wah Tone
The Next Sound · pedal
The Next Sound CH-07 Wah Tone is a fixed-wah/tone-shaping pedal that captures a specific wah tonal character at a set frequency point, rather than offering the sweeping range of a traditional treadle wah. Built by The Next Sound, a boutique pedal manufacturer, it offers players a hands-free way to add wah-inspired tonal coloration to their signal.
