When it comes to fat-sounding, expressive solos that really cut through a mix, midrange is where the magic is. For years guitarists have used a half-cocked wah pedal with the treadle locked to a sweet spot to generate the ideal midrange. However, dialing in the desired tone when playing live can be a challenge as it involves engaging the wah and manually moving the pedal to the exact setting you want.
The Cock Fight’s impressive variety of controls makes it easy to dial in your ultimate guitar solo tone. The Frequency knob is essentially a manual wah or talking pedal effect. After selecting Cry (wah) or Talk, it’s the first control users should adjust to find their desired midrange or vowel character. The Bottom control boosts low frequencies often lost by wah effects. The remaining controls all function when the Cock Fight’s fuzz section is engaged and include Tone (to make the fuzz effect brighter or darker), Drive, and Bias, which adjusts the fuzz effect’s voltage from full-on blast to dying battery sputter. A switch allows users to place the fuzz effect before (Pre) or after (Post) the wah/talk filter. An 1/4–inch expression pedal jack allows guitarists to use an optional expression pedal to manually adjust the frequency like a traditional wah pedal.
