WS-1400 Wau & Sustainer
The Elk WS-1400 Wau & Sustainer is a thrilling fusion of two classic effects that unlock a world of expressive lead tones. At its core, this pedal combines a dynamic wah-wah with a powerful sustain engine, giving players unprecedented control over their sound. The wah circuit is no ordinary pedal – it's been meticulously voiced to deliver a rich, vocal-like sweep that responds seamlessly to your foot. Engage the treadle and you can sculpt your tone, emphasizing biting highs or rumbling lows with a flick of your foot. But the WS-1400 has another trick up its sleeve: the sustainer circuit. Engage this mode and your notes will bloom and sustain, allowing you to weave intricate, singing lead lines that hang in the air. The sustain is smooth and natural, not the artificial, compressed sound of many sustainer pedals. Pair it with the wah for searing lead tones that can scream and howl, or use it on its own for atmospheric, textural playing. What makes the WS-1400 truly special is its ability to blend these two effects, unlocking hybrid tones that blur the line between wah and sustain. Dial in the perfect balance, and you can sculpt your sound in real-time, morphing between singing leads and crying, vocal-like wah sweeps. Whether you're a classic rock shredder or a modern soundscape artist, the Elk WS-1400 Wau & Sustainer is a must-have pedal that will elevate your playing to new expressive heights.
