Introducing "THE WONG PRESS" (Volume/Wah/Expression Pedal)

[@TurfShifter]

Well I went online to look up the pedal. Showed you were playing Bristol in the UK next February and now I have tickets to that show. Which is brilliant!

[@joep2311]

editing on this vid is hilarious. I cannot unsee Cory as Bob Ross lmao

Cory has so much energy all the time, seen him twice now and he's running everywhere on stage and full of energy the whole time. I don't know how he does it lol

[@neonrecording]

Looks cool too

[@aydenmcfly1362]

Have the classic hotone but you KNOW I'm switching it out for this bad boi 🎉

[@MattHalcyon]

Cory, I've had over 5 Soul Press 2s and each developed an audible scratchy sound in the pots that comes out in the tone when sweeping through the wah range of the pedal. Is your signature pedal version made from the same potentiometers or have they been upgraded to another part? I love having 3 in one, but I hate that it always develops a scratchy tone when using the wah function. I've even taken it apart to get to the bottom of the cause and looked into ways to upgrade the potentiometers to a better grade that won't develop the scratchy noise. You moving the visual indicator on the left side was a big improvement, I always find myself accidentally playing the volume vs wah with the current position! Good on you and congratulations on this partnership. I hope it's a massive success with guitarists!

[@rustydomino]

Obviously tone is subjective, but this pedal is really well-thought out! addresses so many problems with traditional wah/volume pedals

[@lalarazafimahefa2783]

Congrats for this new signature pedal 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻, the gear looks very reliable 👌🏻, efficient 💯, and have a nice esthetic 🤩!!!

[@devonlarrabee5327]

Honestly, if I didn’t already have the Soul Press II, which seems like this without Cory’s name on it, I’d already be buying it. His Wampler Compression/Boost pedal is awesome. What are the differences between Hotone’s Soul Press II and this one?

[@CoryWongMusic]

we upgraded the chassis to be much more durable and robust, and changed a handful of the features to be more musical then mechanical!

[@caseylockwood5512]

Get this one and keep your other as a backup 😂 ​@@devonlarrabee5327 that's what I'm going to do

[@neilwlevine]

The volume taper on the Soul Press II was pretty awful: it was all or nothing. I am guessing the sweep is more linear now.

WARNING: getting Cory Wong pedal doesn’t guarantee you will sound like Cory Wong.

[@DrBackBeat]

Dang it, I want this pedal now and I don't even know how to play a guitar (much less own one). Good sales pitch!

[@DefenderB0SS]

I hope you read this! Would be so fun if you would release a cory wong signature of every type of pedal and gear there is! By the way im in love with the wongcompressor, use it all the time, also use the boost into a jhs bonsai and a j rockett archer select

[@killerchicken750]

This gives “no more government subsidies for active basses” energy

[@M0M...]

I mean this looks perfect. I wonder how it affects the tone in the chain and how the buffer is? If it's solid, this could be a perfect VP/EP/Wah.

I’m sold

[@JdeVos]

Fastest order after seeing a pedal for the first time I've ever done! 😂

[@dtwo31]

I have the Soul Press II. Kinda curious, in terms of looks it looks like the same pedal with your name slapped on it. Did they fix the 0 - 20% sweep issue? Other than that I wouldn't replace mine. It's also $100 cheaper in mint condition

[@wce74wce15]

i was just thinking the same thing. i sold my soul press🤣

[@DefenderB0SS]

I love Wong gear

[@T-Hawkeyes]

Corey - How do you toggle between the expression mode and wah/volume mode? The mode selector doesn't have a mode for expression. Killer pedal regardless. Cheers!

[@EshockT]

That’s what I’m wondering. Is it a separate output that’s always on?

[@NamelessSmile]

Expression is just a passive function, so I assume it's always an expression pedal if you've got something plugged into the expression output

[@gooseabuse]

Expression is always on, this is basically a rebranded soulpress II by hotone with a few small upgrades. I have been using the soulpress II for years its honestly one of my favorite pedals ever. I have my vol/wah in a loop switcher so its only in the signal chain if I want it, that way i can used expression and such without doing volume swells or wahwah sounds. I do like using the wah and expression pedal at the same time occasionally.

[@dwaingill5094]

If its like the soul-press 2 then you "turn the pedal off" meaning you push hard until you hear the foot switch click, then you're in exp mode.

[@DA_AAA]

I am so enthusiastic that I totally agree with the NEXT comments !

[@soundknight]

No. The various effects wah has always been around, it just didn't sell unless the brand was known for it. Digi-design, the chopper T etc...

[@syoung_io]

How is this with a bass through it? Also, looking forward to Cory's inevitable envelope filter collab.

[@ehmmmjay9907]

So it's Ho-Tone and not Hot-One? I don't know how I feel about that.

[@clonemeister9097]

Makes me wish I could play guitar 😂

[@Deafeye.]

Dude I just started building a pedal board and I was like, “Cory loves the soul press imma get that one”

[@tallguy3]

Does it work with bass?

Can I use it as volume-only on one song and expression-only on the next song without changing any wiring? How do I prevent the volume and expression being active at the same time?

[@frisater96]

[@MurphSchnitzel]

No Midi??? So how can I control my Cory Wong Neural DSP Plugins on my computer? ☹️

[@dmytrogarastovych7684]

Yesss! I would like to have that and a tuner built in

[@gooseabuse]

@@dmytrogarastovych7684 Hotone makes another expression pedal/volume no wah with a built in tuner, I guess they just couldn't fit it all in. I'd sacrifice the battery compartment for a built in tuner personally.

Is this different from old purple sparkly one that I bought after seeing your rig rundown a couple years ago?

[@CoryWongMusic]

yes it's an upgraded and tour robust version! also the sweep of volume and wah are more musical and less mechanical!

[@zacnation]

What does the warm/classic switch do to the tone

[@zekebeckman]

Three in Wong

[@SamLazier]

So.. How this differs from Soul Press 2? Seems like exact same product rebranded.. SP2 had two fatal flaws: You couldn't adjust the volume-setting sensitivity and the wah gave unwanted boost in the signal.

[@weoutchea3982]

Wah never went anywhere

[@mariovivalakosmosas7618]

isn't this just the Hotone Soulpress?

[@mateuszmadej]

I prefer to call the brand "Hot-one" instead of "Ho-tone"

[@SonicReels]

I hope this is more than just a rebranded SoulPress II otherwise that would be kind of a disappointing marketing move.

You need a guitar method….call it “the Wong Way”?

[@kacper_le]

I think if you'll get Sonny demo-ing it you'll get 5x more interest in viewers, not only guitarists but bassists like me. I'll probably buy this one, sounds good. But hey, next time get Sonny demo-ing it at lest for a 20 seconds.

[@incenseandpeppermints4625]

Why, oh why did I always think it was pronounced "HOT ONE"?! You know, like that other KZbin show!

[@brianfulda]

I want this pedal but for $220 with shipping before tax (why is shipping $20?!) I can't justify the cost increase over the SoulPress II for $120...I don't feel like $100 is worth it for a slightly different tone curve and indicator lights. Love the idea, just feel the pricing is a little greedy. Hotone should offer free shipping and then I'd buy it.

[@CoryWongMusic]

upgraded parts, and chassis is much more sturdy for people who are gonna take it on the road!

[@brianfulda]

@@CoryWongMusic That makes sense! OK so I bought the Hotone Soul Press II and the swell on the volume pedal is really fast, like I barely press it and it goes from very quiet to very loud too quickly. Is this updated on your version with a more gradual swell? If so I will buy it :)

[@harshgarrett]

not being able to switch it to just expression and bypass the volume/wah without unplugging the input and output is the dumbest shit on earth

[@PaoloC.]

wow cool! but looks pretty dang tiny under your foot though.

[@CoryWongMusic]

honestly fits really comfortably

199 bucks though? Then Soul Press II was 100 when I got mine. This one is supposed to be TWICE as good? Because it's TWICE the PRICE! I don't even know who this Wong guy is. Seems great but never heard of him. You're asking too much for this Hotone.

[@papa_pt]

Twice the price of the existing soul press? (which I have and is great btw) I actually wish it was a bit larger

[@gooseabuse]

Wow that's kind of crazy since the only difference I could tell was the lights change from blue to green. Which would be kind of of handy for me, as I have the soul press in my loop switcher and I'm often not sure if I am turning on a volume or Wah. Not sure it justifies 80 more dollars though
