This is a hugely underrated pedal. It has some invitations I am yet to find on any other wah. Firstly there is a spring loaded switch that changes the wah to an auto setting. This means the pedal returns to the heal position which turns the effect on. This gives it the style of a Morley wah. When in this mode there is a trim pot to set the Delay time before the effect turns off in the heal position.

Switching back to normal mode the wah has a nice bite to it, especially with some gain. there are 3 paramaters you can change the frequency response with. Also, hidden underneath the pedal there is a second trim pot to further change the voicing. I used it more as a swell pedal after a delay. It is slightly impractical in standard mode due to the bypass switch being separate to the pedal. This is beneficial if you were to use it in fixed position.

Also - Don't be fooled. These tonelok are made from metal and take a beating despite their awful appearance. The weeping demon is a bit of an awkward shape and not very pedalboard friendly but is very precise in frequency control.

Bad Points: Stupid Shape Looks Fugly Bypass Not Practical
