Product description
The Mooer Free Step brings together a vintage analogue Wah
Wah and a very flexible volume control into one small, strong
and comfortable expression pedal.
In Wah mode you can activate the effect at the touch of your
sole using MOOER’s innovative foot sensing circuit, or you
canoperate it using the more traditional ‘toe down’ footswitch
method. Allowing you to leave it cocked in any position you
like as a filter. The custom inductor can be dialed in to your
favorite
Wah tone using the very convenient Q Range dial on the side
of the pedal.
In Volume mode the Free Step will stay faithful in retaining
every nuance and detail of your tone. It’s smooth, seamless
transition makes it a joy to use in any rig to control your volume.
The heel down (minimum volume) can be easily adjusted and
set anywhere in the range of 0%-50% using the handy min.
vol. dial on the side of the pedal.
All of this is wrapped up into an incredibly strong and sturdy
expression pedal which will survive for years and years of
even the roughest use.
