Illthy Winesa real wah under your foot · free

FreeVST3MIDI pedal ready

A genuine expressive wah — full pedal travel with no dropout at heel or toe, three genre voicings, and a nonlinear ZDF core that growls when you dig in.

THE 2-MINUTE MIDI PEDAL SETUP — don't skip this. Every expression pedal sends a different range; Set Low / Set High calibrate Wines to YOURS so the sweep uses your pedal's full physical travel:

Bind the pedal: right-click the on-screen pedal → MIDI Learn → rock your expression pedal once. Bound.
Heel all the way down (pedal fully back) → click SET LOW.
Toe all the way down (pedal fully forward) → click SET HIGH.
Sweep. The whole voicing range now lives inside your pedal's real travel — no dead zones at the ends, no wah that "stops" halfway. Redo it any time you change pedals.

The calibration is saved machine-wide — set it once, every session and every preset respects it.

Controls

Control	What it does
Pedal	The sweep. Mouse-drag it, or bind your MIDI expression pedal (above).
Voicing	Three genre voicings — different sweep ranges and resonance characters.
Set Low / Set High	Pedal calibration — see the box above. Can't miss it. Don't skip it.
Output	Level trim after the filter.
NERD: Q / Grit / Sweep	Resonance width, input-stage grit, and the sweep-law shape — the deep screws.

In NoAMP

The rig's WAH is this same engine plus two rig-only powers: Route (wah before or after your dirt) and Override Preset — a checkbox that makes YOUR wah setup global, so presets stop touching the wah entirely (the move when a physical pedal is bound). Wah can also go private per amp.

Specs, tersely

Core	nonlinear zero-delay-feedback state-variable filter; drive-dependent harmonics
Travel	continuous full-range sweep law — no heel/toe clicks, no end-of-travel dropout
Control	MIDI CC (any), full calibration, smoothed position — bedroom-level clean sweeps
