Does it have an auto-wah mode? I tried checking the user manual but I can't tell. Try to decide between that and Digitech Synth Wah.

When you say auto-wah, do you mean an envelope filter, or a filter that sweeps on its own via an LFO?

Like an envelope filter I mean, or Mode 1 of the Digitech Bass Synth Wah. Trying to decide between the two. I don't use envelope filters much but having a simple one like the Digitech's would be useful.

Nvm, I found a good video on Youtube. Somehow I like the Digitech better haha.

Ah ok. Yes, the SYB-5 does have a mode like that. Modes 10 and 11 are envelope filters (one up and one down), plus some distortion.

Modes 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8 and 9 have triggered filters (i.e. they always sweep down at the same speed every time). Modes 3 and 6 have an LFO-controlled filter.
