Overview
The Shin-ei ME-7 Wah/Surf/Hurricane/Siren Multi Effect is truely a unique pedal. The pedal is a backwards Wah, with Siren, Hurricane, Volume and Surf effects.
This has to be one of the worlds first multi effects pedals, containing wah, volume, wind, surf and siren effects! The Wah has a unique sound and response and actually operates in the reverse of a normal Wah! Toe down on the treadle is actually the maximum bass setting and heel down is the treble end of the wah's sweep.
Hurricane (pitch controlled hurricane/tornado sounds via white noise),volume (normal volume pedal), wah, surf (like "hurricane" but volume controlled). And the last choice is a switch called 'siren' which is a sine wave rising and falling.
