Restoring the Factory Step Sequence Presets

1 - Switch Wah Mode knob to Create Seq
2 - Turn the power off by unplugging the cable from the input jack.
3 - Power up the unit while holding down the Bypass footswitch.
4 - Keep holding down Bypass until the LED starts flashing.
5 - Remove power from the unit again.

Now the factory presets are restored.

EXTERNAL FOOTSWITCH

On the rear panel of Wahzoo, you’ll find a jack labeled Tap/Mode. Connecting a footswitch will
allow you to access the tap tempo and mode switching features in Wahzoo.

Controlling Tap Tempo

To access the tap tempo feature in Wahzoo, you can use any momentary, normally open, non-latching
footswitch with a mono cable, such as the Boss FS-5U. Note that some common keyboard sustain
pedals are normally closed (reverse polarity) and will not work without modification.

Mode Switching

Using an external, latching footswitch connected to the “ring” of a TRS plug, you can switch modes
without having to reach down to the Wah Mode knob. With either Autowah or Stepwah modes
selected, hitting this footswitch will toggle between the selected mode and Vintage (traditional wah).

NOTE: If the Wah Mode knob is already set to Vintage, then this function is disabled.

TIP: If you are only using mode switching, connect “tip” to “sleeve” (ground) to disable tap tempo.

Footswitch Selection

To access both tap tempo and mode switching features, you’ll need a TRS cable, and a dual
footswitch capable of both momentary and latch type switching. The Boss FS-6 Dual Footswitch
is one example. Use “tip” for tap tempo and “ring” for mode. Of course you can construct your
own, or contact Voodoo Lab for the latest available options.
