Make my Digitech Bass Synth Wah wah

I have a Digitech bass synth wah and Im yet to find a setting that actually sounds like a wah. Does anyone have this pedal and have settings to make it wah.

I don't think that this pedal is a very conventional wah in itself. More of a synthy envelope filter IMO.

Ah my God. Who wants to refund me $125?

If you were looking for a "wah" sound-as in a manual wah-why didn't you buy one?

The Digitech BSW is pretty versitile, I think you'll like it once you mess around with it for a while.

I really liked the Funky Envelope preset in the manual and the Talk Box esque (Daft Punk) tone. I was just looking for Wah today and resulting in disappointment.

I agree. I've had mine for a while now, and I can get a decent envelope filter out of it, but there's no chance of an auto-wah sound from it.

To get a pedal wah, fix wah, envelope filter and autowah in the same box, you can try the Jacques Trinity.
It sounds a bit shallow to my taste (I like raw effects) but it does this just fine.

The auto-wah preset is too bad. Seems it hasn't dynamics sensibility. Infact the filter open/close itself by 'speed' parameter. I never used it.
