Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Wah pedal with two switchable inductors, for players who want to pick between two voicings instead of committing to one wah character.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Players torn between a vocal wah and a throatier one
- Funk rhythm work where the sweep needs to sit in a mix
- Boards where a wah must not color the tone when off
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who want one wah sound and nothing to fiddle with
- Anyone needing battery power — check your supply first
- Small boards with no room for a full-size wah
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
True bypass
Signal routes around the circuit when off, so the wah doesn't dull your tone or load down pickups sitting idle.
Detail 03
1M ohm input impedance
High enough not to squash guitar pickups when active, so you keep top end and pick attack.
Detail 04
Low pass 255-355Hz
The heel-down end sits in low mids. That is the darker half of the sweep, not a full bass rolloff.
Detail 05
High pass 1.3-1.5kHz
Toe-down peak lands in the presence range where guitar cuts through, which is why the top of the sweep bites.
Detail 06
+16dB gain, toe and heel
The wah adds level at both ends of the travel, so it can push an amp harder when engaged.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Confirm your power supply can feed a 9V pedal with an isolated output
- 02Wahs need floor space — measure your board before ordering
- 03The inductor switch is a set-and-forget choice, not a live footswitch
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What does the dual inductor actually do?
It lets you switch between two inductors, each giving the sweep a different voice — one broader and vocal, one tighter and more aggressive. You pick one at a time.
02Is it true bypass?
Yes. When the pedal is off, your signal passes around the circuit, so it won't roll off highs the way some buffered wahs can.
03Does it take a battery?
Plan on a 9V adapter or isolated supply output. Wahs draw continuously once the switch engages.
04Will it work for funk rhythm?
Yes. The sweep runs from low mids up into the 1.3-1.5kHz presence range, which is the band where clean rhythm chording speaks.
