Hi, my name is Gary Schutt. We’re talking about guitar effects, right now it’s an effect called auto wah, this is an automatic wha-wha filter which the wha-wha sound is normally done with a foot controller pedal, but the auto wah can either come in a stomp box form or a rock mount form, or a multi effects form and what it does is it creates a wha sound for you. Depending on how you have it set, it can attack it sooner or later, I have it set just right. Auto wah is a touch sensitive effect, so that when you play lightly, the filter is more closed and the heavier you play the more the filter opens. And you can usually change the setting.
