What is a Wah Wah Pedal?  How Does A Wah Effects Pedal Work?

A Wah Wah Pedal takes the guitar signal and when the wah pedal is depressed and let off it creates a pitch that sounds like a wah wah.  The pedal allows only parts of the frequency to pass at a time and when you move your foot pedal it creates the differences in frequency.  The Auto Wah Effect usually does not have an expression pedal.  The frequency change is done automatically by the circuitry of the auto wah pedal.
