The Hotone Soul Press II takes the familiar concept of a wah and expands it into a versatile control platform built for modern rigs. With four selectable modes—volume, wah, volume/wah and expression—it adapts easily to different playing styles and setups without adding extra pedals. The redesigned circuit introduces adjustable Q and frequency controls, giving you greater command over the wah’s range and character, while an active volume stage ensures your signal stays full and intact. Compact, flexible and easy to integrate, it’s a pedal designed to handle multiple roles without sacrificing feel or tone.
Adjustable Wah and Active Volume for Expressive, Consistent Tone
At its core, the Soul Press II delivers a vocal, responsive wah that can be shaped to suit a wide range of tones. The Q control adjusts the intensity and focus of the effect, while the WARM and CLASSIC modes shift the frequency range for different tonal characters—from smoother, rounded sweeps to brighter, more cutting tones. The active volume circuit keeps your signal strong and consistent, eliminating the high-end loss often associated with passive designs. Together, they provide a controlled, expressive response that remains clear across the pedal’s full range.
Multi-Mode Operation, Expanded I/O and Updated Ergonomic Design
The Hotone Soul Press II is designed to integrate seamlessly into complex modern setups. In addition to its four operating modes, it features separate expression and tuner outputs, allowing you to control external parameters or route your signal cleanly without interrupting your chain. A real-time position indicator gives you clear visual feedback, while the enlarged treadle and textured surface improve control underfoot. Built with an aluminum alloy chassis and durable steel shaft, the Soul Press II combines portability with reliability, making it equally at home on stage or in the studio.
