I'm not too familiar with using a wah but I think I have the basic idea. I think the one I bought may be defective or something because I find it doesn't really wah past the 12th fret on the high e string, when I lift the pedal up instead of the note sustaining it pretty much just goes out, so like if I'm doing a fast solo in e minor at the 12th fret, if I'm doing a run on the high strings the volume just starts getting out as if I didn't even play the note, is this normal? I hope the store will take it back You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Just push it so strongly that the typical wah background comes (a little buzzing or so). Another reason for this problem could be that your battery is conected wrongly or is simply too weak.

Also it may be the problem with your guitar, wah works well usually only when you give it a nice trebly signal to work with it. If you give it bassy signal (liek from neck pickup) and play beyond 12th fret, sometimes it won't work. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
