Hi James
Just got a Wahoo last week. Loving it!
A few questions about the features I couldn't find in the manual.
LFO
di.p (on/off) - does enabling this make the pedal sweep the divisions? how does it interact with div?
ENV
StE (1-31) - assume this is the number of steps in the envelope?
PEd (on/off) - does this change the Q as the pedal is swept?
CUSTOM
Po.t (1-240) - what does this do?
Pos (on/off) - what does this do?
Set (off/den) - what does this do?
Thanks!
Guy

Hi Guy,
I'm pleased to hear you are loving the Wahoo.
On the Wahoo editor, this appears as "pedal" (on/off), and div gets a "hi" and "lo" parameter.
PEd makes the envelope filter pedal controlled. You have 5 envelope parameters: sensitivity, punch, attack, decay, steps. When you enable pedal control you get another set of these parameters so you have a "hi" and "lo" set of parameters. Moving the pedal will smoothly transition between these settings. For example, you can use this to make the envelope filter more or less aggressive by moving the pedal as you play.
Pos - Shows the position of the pedal as a numeric readout. Some people want to know where the pedal is positioned before activating the effect, this lets you see where the pedal is without having to listen to it.
Set - "set list", but currently this only enables demo mode. When the unit is locked, demo mode limits you to 13 carefully chosen presets. We plan to extend this feature to have user-selectable lists of presets (i.e., a setlist) so when playing live you only have the presets you need.

Yes. When this is enabled, "div" becomes the "lo div" and a new parameter "di.h" is the "hi div". The pedal sweeps through the divisions from lo to hi. So if you set lo to x1 and hi to x3, moving the pedal would go from x1 to x2 to x3 (it's quantised, so no in-between divisions are allowed).LFO

StE -- yes, this is the steps.ENV

Po.t - Short for "power-off time" shown as "power-save timeout" on the editor. When the effect is bypassed, it can enter a lower-power mode to save battery. This happens after this time. The analogue circuits are still powered, so you can still instantly enable the effect in power-save mode.CUSTOM

Re: n00b questions
Thanks for the speedy response!
The pedal feature makes ENV mode much more flexible than I'd realised. I'll have to go and play with that now
The position feature looks useful too.
It would be great if there was a way to configure o.lo and o.hi so that the footswitch enables effect on/off instead of moving through the presets. Is that likely for a future update?
Regards
Guy

The point of o.lo / o.hi was so that the footswitch was always available for preset selection. But of course, we can add other options. What exactly do you want to do and why? If it makes sense, we can look at adding it.It would be great if there was a way to configure o.lo and o.hi so that the footswitch enables effect on/off instead of moving through the presets.

I hope this makes sense! I don't think it's currently possible but I would find it very useful - others may too?
Thanks
