Wah pedal on harp is ridiculous

Wah pedal on harp is insane. Today we learned that envelope filter pedals are just boneless wah wah pedals. Join us as we try the JAM wah, Crybaby wah, and a bunch of other filter pedals on harp.

If you want to explore Wah more, try the sonuus Wahoo. It is a analogue 2 Filter Wah which is completely free programmable in the ranges and peaks you want to have. So you could customize your wah perfectly towards the needs of a harp. As far as I know it is the king of wahs, when it comes to versatility and in my opinion sound. This is more a fully equipped multimode dual filter of a synth than merely a wah pedal. Now i stop advertising, ;) Have lots of fun in doing what you are doing Greetings from Germany

[@emilyharpist]

The harp is by its nature a melodic instrument, it made me wonder if you have ever approached it as one would a rhythm guitar. The string muting is what made me think of this. Great video!

[@pex_the_unalivedrunk6785]

String muting is an easy technique that requires no fancy technology....but when combined together with what's essentially an audio frequency modulator/wah pedal, allows for a plethora of interesting sounds.

[@DougMen1]

You should also try a Morley wah, which uses an optical sensor instead of a worm and gear on a pot. It's the smoothest and doesn't get dirty and noisy and has the longest frequency sweep

[@bricelory9534]

I think for me, my disinterest in Wah is that the filter sweeps are often so much faster than I like....a really slow filter sweep just sounds awesome, especially with a slightly lower resonance.

[@danielvalles9554]

I agree with the second part, that's typically how I use a wah. Try to sweep as slowly as I can usually using the higher end of the sweep more often than the lower. Supposedly you can adjust that with trim pots or something similar on the inside of some wahs, which I've done, since I don't incorporate that Funk/porn sound that everyone seems to immediately bust out the second they start playing a wah.

[@whatabouttheearth]

You mean 'Auto Wah' I think, Wah you control it with your foot.

[@ralphnabhan]

Yeah I totally get that. I am by no means a pro or even an intermediate level guitarist, but I like to have fun while playing. Bought myself a CryBaby when I first started, and quickly found myself barely rocking it, and doing so as slow as possible. I personally like the mid to high range because it kind of "screams" if that makes any sense. I love how Adam Jones from Tool gently phases his wah and often holds it at the mids for a while before rocking back or forth. Makes you forget he's using a wah for a second.

I don't know which's better, Ivan's dry humour or Emily's vocal sound effects lol

[@austinvs]

Omg, now I need more harp with way pedal! That sound makes my soul happy. It’s SO good

[@jsnpojarify]

Dude! Step mode with delay is just the most beautiful thing I've ever heard. Also that progression you are doing to test this stuff out sounds like something I wrote on classical guitar. It's the 2 note thing you are doing.

[@appearingthroughdimensions8117]

Amazing. Can anyone explain how she got an effect to go on ONLY the lows and another on ONLY the highs at the same time?

[@emilyharpist]

I have a video that explains this on my channel!! It’s in the video description! 🥰

[@brandoncollinsmusic]

Mad cool! Who knew wah would sound so good on harp? The textures are so calming.

[@emilyharpist]

Thanks Brandon!

[@JohnLloydPhoto]

Unexpectedly cool combo! Being able to filter each of your pickups through a different pedal was next level.

[@BockwinkleB]

Gotta love the blurred out feet, are you guys on Twitch or something?

[@emilyharpist]

Thanks! We aren’t on Twitch, we live stream right here on this channel every Wednesday!

[@csbunbun]

I honestly did not expect it to sound so good!!! This is amazing :D

[@emilyharpist]

Thanks Connor! It was so much fun!

0:01 that NY accent coming out "eahskin' me" 😅😍

The wah and filter combo adds so much more atmospheric depth to the harp. A harp on its own isolated is beautiful but I feel like the pedals create a fuller sounding musical piece (layered sounds ) in a live setting rather than relying on layering via multi recording/looping. TLDR this is a game changer for the sounds and I LOVE IT!!!

[@megafauna8374]

The WHACHO definitely sounded the best. The acoustic sound of the instrument was way out front and the vowel modulation of the wah wah is out the back. Sounded great. The others make a beautiful acoustic instrument sound like a slot machine.

Man..I legitimately want more of this, it's so cool

[@AndyVallEEngineer]

I like how he automatically makes the wah mouth movement.

[@Unimportant]

I actually kind of like it. Makes it sound weirdly dreamy and floaty.

[@TakaMitsukai]

I found something I didn't know I needed in my life. My entire body craves this as a genre.

[@xXAlexOrWhateverXx]

Harps and wah peddles sound dreamy on their own. But together they make such a calm and sleepy sound.
