Hotone Wong Press Cory Wong Volume Wah Expression Pedal

Volume pedals might be the most underrated and useful pedal out there (next to a tuner, of course). I also love a good wah, from vintage to mdern and anywhere in between. And let’s not forget Expression Pedals, which can work a multitude of wonders for many, many different effects. Now, what if you could get ALL THREE of these in ONE PEDAL? That’s what happened with the Hotone Wong Tone Cory Wong Volume Wah Expression Pedal – let’s dive in and see what this little beauty is all about…

Renowned international funk guitar maestro and 63rd Grammy nominee Cory Wong is celebrated for his unique playing style and unmistakable crisp tone. Known for his expressive technique, he’s been acclaimed across the globe by all audiences for his unique blend of energy and soul.In 2022, Cory discovered the multi-functional Soul Press II pedal from Hotone and instantly fell in love. Since then, it has become his go-to pedal for live performances. Now, two years later, the Hotone team has meticulously crafted the Wong Press, a pedal tailored specifically for Cory Wong.

Building on the multi-functional design philosophy of the Soul Press series, this new pedal includes Cory’s custom requests: a signature blue and white color scheme, a customized volume pedal curve, an adjustable wah Q value range, and travel lights that indicate both pedal position and working mode. Cory’s near-perfect pursuit of tone and pedal feel presented a significant challenge for our development team. After countless adjustments to the Q value range, Hotone engineers achieved the precise Wah tone Cory desired while minimizing the risk of accidental Q value changes affecting the sound. Additionally, based on Cory’s feedback, the volume control was fine-tuned for a smoother, more musical transition, enhancing the overall feel of volume swells.

The Wong Press builds on the features of the Soul Press II, with its expertly crafted surface design that delivers an exceptional foot control experience while remaining compact and portable. It takes up little real estate on your board, yet can be an invaluable member of your signal chain team, playing multiple roles at one time. The Wong Press Cory Wong Volume Wah Expression pedal is easy and fun to use – might we suggest checking out our demo video below to see it in action.
