There is always a way to make things even smaller - or so it seems at Mooer, and the Wahter Classic Wah Pedal is no exception. Despite its ultra-compact size, this micro-sized wah delivers a rich, full-bodied tone and effortlessly finds its place on any pedalboard. Housed in a gold-coloured, die-cast housing, the pedal combines high-quality internal components for an authentic wah sound with a surprisingly sturdy pedal design, enhanced by two fold-out brackets that extend the surface area - perfect for those moments when players are rocking chunky boots on stage. True bypass ensures the signal remains pristine when the effect is off, and while it runs on any standard 9-volt power supply, battery operation isn't part of the package.
The Mooer The Wahter Classic Wah Pedal provides three versatile operating modes, seamlessly adapting to different playing styles and preferences. In "Sensor" mode, simply touching the rocker is enough to engage the effect, while "Hold" mode allows players to select from fixed frequencies by pressing the pedal twice, and "Advanced" mode blends both approaches, enabling the effect to activate either by stepping onto the rocker or, with a quick double press, stay permanently engaged. Switching between modes is effortless - the player simply has to press the rocker while connecting the power supply, and two LEDs on the lower front edge will flash once, twice, or three times to indicate the selected mode.
Thanks to its impressive sound quality, solid build, and trio of versatile wah modes, the Mooer The Wahter Classic Wah Pedal offers a wealth of creative potential - even for demanding professionals - regardless of whether they are slinging a four or six-string instrument. Designed to serve both guitarists and bassists alike, this compact yet sturdy pedal delivers not only great tone but also intuitive usability, making The Wahter Classic Wah Pedal just as appealing to seasoned players as it is to beginners looking to dial in that classic wah sound with minimal effort.
Mooer is based in the Chinese city of Shenzhen and has been making products for guitarists since 2010, which include compact single pedals through to multi-effects units and compact amplifiers. The company initially produced a range of mini pedals before making perhaps its most significant breakthrough in 2016 with the sophisticated Ocean Machine delay pedal, which was designed in collaboration with Devin Townsend. Mooer's product range now also includes solutions that feature amp modelling, IR-based speaker simulation, and matching equalisers, and the company's focus remains firmly on the use of digital technology.
Whether it's delivering punchy Funk licks on guitar, adding extra weight to an amp's tone with a fixed frequency, or serving as a creative tool for bassists to enhance grooves and solo lines, Mooer's The Wahter Classic Wah Pedal brings remarkable versatility to both instruments and across a wide range of genres, all while maintaining high sound quality. Its three wah modes give players quick and easy access to an extended sonic palette, and the fold-out brackets provide a level of foot control that comes surprisingly close to that of full-sized pedals. Despite this functionality, its ultra-compact size means the Wahter takes up far less space and weighs only about half as much, making this pedal effortlessly portable - whether tucked into a pedalboard, slipped into a gig bag, or even carried in a jacket pocket on the way to a rehearsal or a gig.
