Thanks for purchasing the Tread-Light Wah Pedal—a
stylish re-imagining of Fender’s FWP-1 wah pedal of the
mid-2010s, which is prized for its full-bodied tone,
smooth feel and rugged build. The Tread-Light Wah has
the historic FWP-1 circuit, sound and switchable classic
or bufferd output, but there’s also much more—including
a Range trim control to focus the wah action into a
narrower area, a Mid Frequency switch to sculpt the
pedal’s overall voice, easily adjustable pedal-motion
feel, and switchable LED illumination for better onstage
visibility. And whereas the FWP-1 buffer switch was
concealed inside the pedal housing, the Tread-Light Wah
features a buffer toggle switch on top of the pedal for
speed and convenience.
DESIGNED IN CALIFORNIA, U.S.A.
