BAND PASS – LO
• Technical: Single Peak Band Pass Filter with low Q and parametric
equalization.
• Description: Simple band pass filter with a wide resonant peak at the center
frequency. Use the
FREQUENCY KNOB to control the center frequency.
BAND PASS - HI
• Technical: Single Peak Band Pass Filter with high Q and parametric
equalization.
• Description: Simple band pass filter with a narrow resonant peak at the
center frequency. Use the
FREQUENCY KNOB to control the center frequency.
MULTI-PEAK 01-04
• Technical: Various Advanced Multi-Peak Filter with multiple peaks and dips
moving in independent directions under Hot Hand control.
• Description: Each quite different. Some have phasing qualities and some
have more vocal characteristics. Give them a listen!
AUTO-WAH
• Technical: Automatic Wah Filter
• Description: This effect is a typical auto-wah effect. The wah effect is
triggered by the amplitude of the guitar signal. Note that neither the Hot
Hand nor the
EXPRESSION IN controls the signal in this mode. When the
EFFECT knob is set to Auto-Wah, the MOTION knob controls how quickly the
effect will react and reset.
VOLUME SWELL
• Technical: Volume Control or Tremolo
• Description: Use the Hot Hand to create volume swells as you raise (nor-
mal) or lower (
INVERT SENSOR ) your hand. Bounce or shake your hand to
create tremolo effects. The FREQUENCY knob controls how fast the volume
rises as you raise or move your hand. Note the calibration is very important
in this mode to establish the exact points where the fade begins/ends.
Wah Types
Following are descriptions of the different types of wah filters we programmed
into the Hot Hand box. Note that each sound interacts differently with both
the Hot Hand hand motions as well as the settings on the
FREQUENCY and
MOTION knobs. It is suggested that one experiment a bit to find just the right
sound for different playing styles.
CLASSIC WAH
• Technical: Modified band pass filter
• Description: Classic wah pedals remain very popular and have a very well-
recognized sound. We have invested significant effort to model this sound in
our product. To be a true Classic Wah model, the
FREQUENCY KNOB should
be set to the middle position.
LOW PASS - LO

• Description: Simple low pass filter with a wide resonant peak near the cutoff
frequency. Use the
FREQUENCY KNOB to control the cut-off point.
LOW PASS - HI
• Technical: Single Peak Low Pass Filter with a high Q
• Description: Simple low pass filter with a narrow peak near the cutoff
frequency. Use the
FREQUENCY KNOB to control the cut-off point.
