About this listing
ZVex Wah Probe (often referred to as Wah Probe / Vexter Wah Probe / V2-style versions with the expanded controls) — the no-rocker, proximity-controlled wah that feels like a theremin crossed with a classic vocal filter.Tired of rocker pots that wear out, stiff treadles that fight you, and wahs that only do “wah-wah-wah” the same old way? The ZVex Wah Probe throws the rulebook out and replaces the mechanical rocker with a theremin-style copper antenna/proximity sensor. Wave your foot (or hand) closer and the wah opens brighter; pull away and it closes. You get lightning-fast sweeps, chewy “pull-away” sounds, and expressive control impossible on a traditional treadle — with zero mechanical wear.Why players fall in love with itProximity RF sensing generates a small (roughly 1–2 inch) “bubble” of RF energy above the antenna plate. Your foot (or any conductive/wet object) disturbs the field, brightening an LED that optically controls the wah circuit. Super-fast action and smooth, continuous expression.Wah circuit is the same highly regarded filter used in ZVex’s Seek-Wah (minus the sequencer) — known for its distinctive, vocal, springy character that stands out from generic Cry Baby-style circuits.Built-in Super Hard-On™ boost sits in front of the wah. Crank the Volume/Drive knob and you can push the circuit into mild breakup or full “something’s gonna blow” overdrive while keeping the wah responsive and loud.Mix control lets you blend wet/dry signal — pure wah, subtle parallel filtering, or anything in between. Perfect for stacking with fuzz or distortion without losing note definition, and bass players love it too.Range control dials the upper brightness. Full clockwise gives the ultra-bright, almost synth-like sweep of the original Probe; turn it back for more traditional, vocal wah ranges.Bottom-mounted RF trimmer lets you fine-tune sensitivity and the resting (foot-away) position of the wah so it parks exactly where you want it.Key specificationsEffect type: Analog wah / filter with proximity controlControl method: Theremin-style RF proximity sensor (copper antenna plate) — no rocker potCircuit basis: Seek-Wah filter + Super Hard-On boost stageControls:– Range (upper frequency/brightness limit)– Volume / Drive (Super Hard-On boost level)– Mix (wet/dry blend)– Internal RF sensitivity trimmer (bottom of enclosure)Switching: True bypassPower: 9V battery or standard regulated 9V DC (Boss-style center-negative barrel)Construction: Available in Vexter (silk-screened, more affordable) and hand-painted versions; same internal circuitryForm factor: Floor pedal with antenna plate on topThis is pure Zachary Vex weirdness in the best possible way: innovative, musical, and built to inspire new playing approaches rather than just recreate the past. Whether you want classic cocked-wah tones, rapid-fire funk, dramatic sweeps, or overdriven filter screams, the Wah Probe delivers expression that a conventional rocker simply can’t match.Original box is included. Condition? The volume knob is a bit "noisy" when turned. Set the volume before you start playing. Otherwise the pedal works perfectly and sounds fantastic!
