Keyztone is a French company that came to relevance in 2019 with a pedal that modeled the pickup tone from different guitars. They are now working on a new idea that is currently in development/crowdsourcing: the WahouWah.
The Wahouwah is an analog pedal that can be configured through an app to do several things
- to have a pedal able to recreate the tone of any wah out there
- transform your wah pedal into a boost or volume/expression pedal
- provide additional LFO effects like Autowah, Tremolowah and Auto-volume
You can store your settings in onboard 6 presets, and infinite presets in the app’s library.
The pedal itself doesn’t have any knobs, just three footswitches to change presets and a Bypass one, while the app features
- 4 Wah Analog Filter Modes (Normal Wah, Hard Wah, Soft Wah, No Wah)
- controls for Frequency, Q Factor and Level
- a Dry Level fader
As mentioned, this pedal connects to your regular wah and extends its sonic possibilities. To do so, you need to calibrate it through a simple process, and the app also provides stroke and linearity adjustments for fine-tuning the response.
This is definitely an original pedal that does something no other device can do. Here are the first demos of the Keyztone Wahouwah.
The WahouWah is a unique pedal for guitar and bass guitar players who are looking for Wah versatility and new creative tones. With our patent pending wah detection system, plug your wah pedal and/or your expression pedal into the WahouWah and get an incomparable guitar expressiveness.
All is ANALOG excepted the way you configure the pedal. Keyztone provides a simple and very complete mobile application (smartphone and tablette) to perform unlimited possibilites of the Wahouwah pedal (Android, IOS).
