A Definite Upgrade from a HUGE, Old Morley Pro-Series
I got this excellent Hotone Soul Press II to replace an old Morley volume pedal that I'd grown tired of do to it gargantuan size and poor, uneven sweep. This product is much more pedalboard friendly as a volume pedal--AND it is way more than that! The Hotone Soul Press II is a volume pedal, a wah, and an expression pedal. The volume and wah are active, and the expression is passive, and I believe the pedal is true bypass when volume or wah modes are not on. You can have it in wah mode only, volume mode only, or always on in a switchable volume/wah mode. The expression pedal works passively in all modes; you can’t turn that off. To use the expression feature, you will need a TRS cable. The wah has two settings, classic or warm, and there is an Q knob that controls where the peak sits in each. All modes, in my opinion, are excellent. The start of the volume sweep jumps in just a touch abruptly, but it is way more controllable in this regard than my last pedal, a mammoth Morley Pro Series, and the sweep is full. Slow swells are totally doable. It also has a tuner out jack, which I think is active and shouldn’t suck tone. I have not used that output, though. The size of the pedal is also great, at least half the size of that old Morely, and the build is quality. The toothed plastic bar that turns the pot is plastic, as I imagine are other inner workings of the pedal, but the casing is a nice, heavy die-cast metal. The tension of the treadle is solid and the pedal stays put in any position, feeling sound and durable in general, save for the cheap mini switches on the side, which feel a bit dinky. It has a nine-volt battery compartment and a standard pedal power jack. The wah adds gain and a little boost, it seems, in either mode, but so has every crybaby I’ve used—but the adjustability this has helps you find your sound pocket more easily than your basic crybaby. I think it is a great sounding wah, and I adjusted almost immediately to its feel underfoot. The classic mode nails the crybaby sound, and the warm is more bassy with a softer peak. I currently have this, like I did the Morely, after boost compression and drive, and it works great there as either volume or wah. It is hooked up as expression to my Pitchfork, but I typically have used it in volume/wah mode. Even then, all I have to do it bend down and flip the mode switch to another mode to have full expression control over the Pitchfork without the wah or volume interacting simultaneously. When in vol/wah mode, the stomp button is easily used to switch between the two, and so far I have not had the problem of accidentally throwing it. You really have to press down, just like with a crybaby. When is volume or wah modes, the pedal has a cool LED indicator telling you how far you are in your sweep, and it works, AND it looks dope—a fancy touch for what I consider a budget pedal. Anyway, I received mine for like $97 including shipping about a week ago, and I have seen them for I think $87 or so bucks on Amazon since I ordered. Just wanted to let everyone know of a cool, versatile unit that can be had new for very reasonably. I believe they where around $130 a few weeks ago. I am very happy with mine so far.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

wakka wakka.. wakka wah wakka...
gteat action. very responsive. the tone adjustments are effective. seems sturdy. i am not really a volume pedal guy, but that feature works very predictably. it parks on a setting really well. i mean, really well... wahs all seem just a bit different. and they react to amps and pedals somewhat unpredictably. i like this one with my rig/(i also like my other wan, and it is completely different...). the judgments are very subjective, if its in yer price range, give it a ride...Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Excellent wah/volume pedal!
This is the best choice if you need a volume/wah pedal (2 in 1), it seems to be built like a tank (metal chassis), very good range for both wah modes, no noise or anything added to my pedalboard after connecting it. It is the best sounding option and a bang for the buck for it's price in a very convenient size (uses a bit more space than a regular pedal but way less than a regular wah/volume one).Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

So far - so good!
So far, I have only had one short time to hook this pedal up and listen to what it can do. I was VERY pleased! I had watched several videos and one had me worried that there would be a dead spot where the volume cuts out when near the lowest (heel down) position. This was not the case, however. Transition was VERY smooth from full volume all the way to silence. I myself have had this same issue with other volume pedals. Everything else about the pedal is fantastic. I LOVE how you can control the Q or frequency sensitivity. Great Pedal so far !!!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

More than I expected!
I bought this pedal because of its small size and multiple functions. The sweep is nice and wide, the pedal handles expression functions simultaneously with wah very well. For those interested in alternate applications; I bought this with the intent to use it to manipulate my Antichthon fuzz/noise pedal but that didn't work. The wah seems to be digital and that might have something to do with why.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Volume swells are uneven, otherwise AWESOME WAH and expression pedal!
Wah sounds are amazing for it's price! Volume feature is a bit disappointing. The volume doesn't increase gradually, it jumps from 0-40 rapidly then it increases slower. But for the price, I guess it's a trade off. Compact size, tough built, cool looing. I'm definitely satisfied.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Nice Pedal
For the price, it is very hard to ignore this pedal. Quality is exceptional, features are very good, pedal is very responsive and the increased footprint is a nice addition. If you are looking for a Wah/Volume/Expression pedal, take heed and give it a try! I am not disappointed with Hotone products.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Nice wah
It's a great wah/expression pedal with useful adjustability. It's also smaller and lighter than my Dunlap Crybaby that I bought in the early 90s. I don't know if it is bomb proof like the Crybaby but time will tell.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Great sounding wah! The tension on the rocker is perfect too which makes it super smooth to switch between a stable sound and some classic scratch and pop. It's a beautiful color, to boot, to boot. Bring on the cow funk!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
