New JAM Pedals Seagull Cocked Wah Guitar Effects Pedal

Includes two Hosa metal patch cables (IRG-100.5)

Shortly after the release of the Pink Flow multi-pedal, JAM Pedals received continuous requests to build custom stand-alone seagull units. Addressing this demand the JAM pedals way, the Seagull joins the standard line with improved controls and extended functionality.

Choose between the distinct “seagull” sound heard in Pink Floyd's “Echoes” or vocal, vintage cocked-wah tones, courtesy of the celebrated Red Fasel inductor also found in the Wahcko.

2 pedals in 1. Outside of the traditional seagull effect you can access a full range of cocked-wah sounds. Pair with your favourite Fuzz / OD / Distortion boxes to add the legendary wah filter and cut through the mix with tons of vintage mid-range sass.

More control. All onboard controls are shared between both modes (seagull or cocked wah):

• L: controls the output level
• F: fine-tunes the frequency
• S: 3-way toggle switch that selects between 3 distinct sweep ranges
• C: 2-way toggle switch that selects between seagull (right) and cocked wah (left) modes
• Footswitch: keep pressed for longer to momentarily engage (press to engage, release to disengage), or press and release instantaneously for traditional ON or OFF operation

To properly operate and control the Seagull:

• Make sure your guitar has passive pickups
• Make sure there are no buffered-bypass pedals between your guitar and the Seagull
• Engage the effect, then adjust the output volume to your taste
• Turn your guitar's volume knob all the way up
• Change the pitch by manipulating your guitar's tone pot
• Select different pickup settings on your guitar to alter the fundamental pitch
• Long delay repeats and/or lush reverb are recommended

A little background on the Seagull: David Gilmour explains in an interview with Guitar Player (January 2009): “We discovered it as the result of a serendipitous accident that happened in about 1969 or 1970, when a roadie had plugged the wah in the wrong way, and I stomped into it and got this incredible screaming noise.” The brilliance of the effect isn't really the effect itself but the fact that David explored how he could tame and integrate it into a song. He employed the effect long before Pink Floyd wrote Echoes — it can be heard during early live versions of the unreleased song Embryo. Echoes was premiered April 22, 1970 in Norwich, UK.
