Intended for electric guitarists, the NEXI Industries Urban Series Wah is a pedal designed to work with the company's Solution pedalboards, taking up two slots in the board rather than one. However, it also works with standard pedal chains and conventional pedalboards.
Featuring an all-analog construction in an all-metal chassis, the Urban Series Wah provides a simple operation over a classic wah wah sound. A treadle with a 100-kOhm potentiometer is offered, and with this treadle, you can get all the funky, classic analog wahs of the 1970s. The pedal utilizes a true bypass circuit, so when it's not in use, no trace of the circuitry impacts your tone.
Though intended for use with Solution pedalboards, this stompbox can also work with most setups. Simply remove the rubberized pads on the unit, and you'll find all the customary I/O jacks and connectivity options including a slot for a 9V battery or your own power supply. Either way, the pedal is sure to bring you the gritty sound you expect from an analog stompbox.
Into this pedalboard, guitarists have the ability to plug a whole ecosystem of modular, analog pedals in any order they choose. And this is where the Urban Series Wah comes in: you can plug this pedal directly into your Solution pedalboard by means of a multipin connection on the rear. Unlike other NEXI Industries pedals, it'll take up two spaces instead of one on the board. But the multipin principle still applies.
Were you to do so, you wouldn't need a separate 1/4" connection for the pedal's input or output, nor would you need a 9V battery, a BOSS-style 9V power adapter, or a bunch of hook-and-loop fastener scuffing up the back of the stompbox. Yet the company recognizes that guitarists want the option to use the pedal however they'd like; so, all the conventional I/O and powering methods are on hand.
