The Hotone SP-21 Wong Press is a signature multi-function pedal developed around Cory Wong's personal specifications, combining volume, wah, expression, and volume/wah functionality in a compact pedalboard-friendly design.
Designed for players who want maximum control from a single treadle pedal, the Wong Press features an active volume circuit, custom volume curve, adjustable wah Q, and flexible connectivity for external expression control and tuning.
4-in-1 Pedal Functionality
The SP-21 Wong Press provides four operating modes:
-
Volume — smooth, controlled volume adjustment
-
Wah — classic-voiced wah with adjustable tonal range
-
Volume/Wah — combines both functions
-
Expression — controls parameters on compatible external effects
This makes the Wong Press a versatile solution for players who want to save pedalboard space without sacrificing functionality.
Cory Wong Signature Specifications
The pedal features Cory Wong's custom volume curve and wah characteristics, giving it a distinctive response designed around his playing style.
The adjustable wah Q control allows you to shape the intensity and frequency range of the effect, while the two selectable tonal ranges provide additional flexibility:
-
WARM: 290 Hz–1.4 kHz
-
CLASSIC: 360 Hz–1.8 kHz
Active Volume Circuit
The SP-21 uses an active volume design intended to preserve your guitar's original tone while minimizing unwanted signal loss. The 1 MΩ input impedance and 100 Ω output impedance allow the pedal to integrate smoothly into a wide range of pedalboard configurations.
Real-Time Status Indicator
A new dual-color STATUS LED strip displays both the selected pedal mode and the current treadle position in real time. This provides useful visual feedback during live performances, making it easier to monitor the pedal's operation without looking down at the controls.
Flexible Connectivity
Separate tuner and expression outputs provide additional routing options. You can connect a tuner outside the main effects chain or use the expression output to control compatible external effects.
