Hello,

Using a wah pedal on a monosynth is something many artists have done for some time. I find they tend to be of best use on monosynths that are limited to lowpass filtering. Many classic solos are Minimoog D with one of these pedals. As an reference, check out George Duke's solo at the end of the Stanley Clarke track "Journey to Love".
In the case of the Vger, I find them to be redundant. Most classic wah effects (Crybaby, Morley, etc) are essentially a manually swept bandpass filter (with a high Q).
The Vger has a bandpass filtering mode. By using various output
configs with or without a shorting plug, in conjunction with the filter spacing,
resonance, manual cutoff freq settings, then assigning them to the pedal bus, a wide range of wah effects can be produced.

Regards,

Lawrence

Can you try any wah pedal with the voyager? I mean will some just croak?

No, the wah pedal will process the audio from the voyager the same way it will from any other sound source.

Go ahead and try it, don't worry about your wah.

So, there is no chance that the strength of the synthesizers signal as compared to that of a guitar will damage the wah?

Seriously? No way. Not a chance of damaging the wah. The wah is just a filter with a foot controlled potentiometer. Plug it in and let it rip.

I've used both an old Vox wah and the Tonelab with the Voyager - works fine, I've said it a few times now but I really like running the V through my Tonelab and straight to the main bd.
