WAH WAHS

In that hand-operated realm, I also enjoy the Kaoss Pad 1 (KP1, first
series) with its distortion filter effect. And speaking of Alesis: how
does the AirFX do as a wah? Anyone has experiences?

The aforementioned FilterFactory with MIDI controller would do (or,
you could sweep the filter frequency with the pedal and use
pushbuttons on the device to switch on/off). Another nice thing about
it are the momentary switches, where you can "sus-style" kick the wah
in (or out) momentarily.

I'm curious: are you playing that on a drum machine? If so, are there
any audio recordings (or better still, videos)?
