JOYO WAH-II Classic and Multifunctional WAH Pedal Featuring Wah-Wah/Volume Functions with WAHWAH Sound Quality Value knob (Red)

I got this to replace a Behringer Hellbabe that replaced a Cry Baby pedal that died. The Behringer was horribl noisy and I sent it right back. This pedal, however, was great right out of the box. I got the power supply at the same time, and tested it for about an hour as soon as I got it. Construction is solid, pedal action is positive and very stable, and, unlike the Behringer, no noise at all - very quiet, ver stable, and very predictable, which will translate to very useful. I like the controls and the two mode settings: wah/volume or wah/bypass. Switching in the first one turns on the wah with a very bright set of green LEDs which leave no doubt the effect is live. Use the toe switch again. the LEDs go off, and you are in volume pedal mode, a very handy and functional way to set it up. I did not try the wah/bypass setting, as I will probably want the volume pedal mode most of the time. I played a bit with the Q and Range settings, and there is a lot of room for experimentation here to get the kind of sounds one might want. There is a wide range of possible combinations of these two settings, pickup settings, and pickup tone settings, which give a lot of room for finding useful tones and wahs. I am also impressed by the instructions and the power supply. While not perfect English, they are much better than usual from our friends in Asia, and the power supply seems well built and useful. All in all, I am quite happy and will be looking more closely at Joyo gear in the future. I have already been looking at their small tube amps, and that may be my next buy from them. Good job, Joyo! I am quite pleased.

The adjustability of volume level, Q factor, and sweep are all nice features on this multifunction wah, but would they matter if it didn't sound great? No, it wouldn't. Fortunately we don't have to worry about that, because this thing DOES sound great! You can dial in classic Cry Baby, Vox, and Morley sounds, and set the adjustments to be your own dream wah. With the toggle switch mounted on the side, you can choose whether it's a stand alone wah (bypassed), or a volume when the wah is off. In volume mode, you can set the volume floor from silent on up, so you can use it for artful swells, or as a base level, and lead boost - very cool. A pedalboard friendly size, and a rugged build without being a boost anchor really help make this a winner, too. Great value, sturdy build, and great tones, highly recommended!

Both volume and wah work very well. The wah has a very nice range of sounds, the volume is also smooth and no loss of volume. It works well. Not necessarily cons, but things one should think about maybe. 1) the treadle is small. I find when using it at home with just socks on it is not easy to use. I think with shoes on it will be easier, and also may just also be that one has to place the foot a little differently than one does on a normal size wah. 2) true bypass in wah mode only. They aren’t hiding it, it’s in the description, but this means the volume pedal is active and if you use fuzz with it it might not work as well. In wah mode it is TB. This may be no big deal though. 3) But I should have realized one drawback is…say you have the volume set for the volume (and with dirt, he amount of gain/OD/fuzz you want) and then switch to wah. The wah is with volume=10, full volume so if dirt after it’s going to be very dirty. One could adjust guitar vol to compensate, and set back to ten when you turn it off. Also maybe that is what one wants when going to wah. Otherwise if those things aren’t a problem, this pedal is great! It does the job. Love that you can also set volum for the minimum you want, so if I to swells set to 0, if you want more range (at least I think it is more range) can set it higher so you say go from clean-ish rythm sound to full on dirt (through an OD) and all points in between. I have only tried it so far both with guitar into it and on into dirt, and also with guitar into fuzz into it (which works well, I set the amount of fuzz with guitar volume, and it just changes the volume, not the tone/fuzz).

I’ve been playing guitar for almost 30 years. I’ve owned countless Wha’s and am well versed in pedals. Needed more space - replaced a CryBaby due to size. This pedal is roughly 6.5x3” and wow! Endless tones and options, very impressed. I honestly like this more than most of the major brands. You can actually get a solid volume swell better than my Dunlop. There is room to move on both volume and wha… not like most smaller pedals. If ya don’t need a Harley footrest when you use your wha then the size is very easy to get usto. When credit it due…

sounds horrible!! not very much adjustment in the sweep, switch makes loud popping noise, lots of static noise. maybe i got a bad one, but i would stay away from this. dont buy this thing there are way better options in this price range.

la pédale fonctionne bien la wha est relativement acceptable surtout pour son prix mais le problème IL FAUT AVOIR UN PIED DE BéBé pédale trop petite

Es un wah wah muy bueno, me gusto mucho Tiene contras, pues es pequeño que a veces se me dificulta su manipulacion. Suena y cumple

Great Wah pedal, does all the classic styles and has a great tone. Recommended.

The Joyo Wah-II, with its 6-position frequency range switch, is able to sound like a lot of different wahs in one small pedal. I already own a half dozen wahs, and I have been able to dial in very close wah sounds with my Joyo Wah-II. I can easily switch from funky disco to Hendrix solos with the frequency range switch, and the Q (Quality) control provides even more fine-tuning. Two things to consider with this pedal - One is the size of the pedal, as with any mini-wah. So with Joyo wah set to sound like my Cry Baby, going from one to the other, the foot naturally travels very differently on the two pedals. So if you don't think the Joyo is sounding or feeling like a bigger pedal, you might need to take more time to get used to the difference in the size AND weight of the pedal itself. Two is that this pedal provides a boost when in wah-volume mode, compared to just in wah mode. By this, I mean that when you are using the pedal as a volume pedal, the output is boosted a bit. Whether or not you like this feature is up to you, but it is worth knowing when you buy this pedal. This pedal is going to go on my travel board. The small size and multiple sounds make it a great wah to have.

Amazing product! I've bought to gift to my husband and he loved it!
