There are autowahs. & there are autowahs. But the Tone-Lok AW7 isnt just any autowah. Its got standard wah where both the highs & lows are cut & its got a wah setting where only the highs are cut. & its got distortion. Band Pass Filter provides the sound of a standard wah pedal left at one setting (a favorite wah pedal technique of Joe Satriani). You can even change the chain order of the effects to get different tones: either distortion to wah or wah to distortion.
