Effect Definitions; Wah-Pickup - DigiTech GNX3000 Owner's Manual

Effect Definitions

Each Effect within the GNX3000 is fully programmable. Understanding how these
effects modify the sound, and how each parameter alters the effect will help you
achieve the sound you are looking for. The following overview outlines how each
effect and parameter in the GNX3000 works.

Wah-Pickup

A Wah is an effect controlled by the EXPRESSION PEDAL. A Wah applies a boost in
gain to a narrow band of frequencies. As the EXPRESSION PEDAL is rocked back and
forth, the center frequency receiving the boost is swept up and down making the
guitar sound as if it is saying "Wah". The Wah is engaged and disengaged by applying
pressure to the toe of the EXPRESSION PEDAL.
The Pickup Simulator applies the warmth and thickness of a double coil humbucker
pickup to a single coil guitar, or the unique, crisp sound of a single coil pickup to a
guitar with a humbucker. This allows you to have the best of both worlds without ever
changing guitars.
