Knobs for Threshold and Decay.

Why should guitarists have all the fun? The BR-2 Bottom Wah Rocker features the same uniquely voiced envelope filter circuit as the legendary WR-2, but custom tuned for the low-end frequencies of the bass guitar. Now you can get the same squawky, throaty wah sounds as the WR-2 without losing the almighty bottom that holds up your band and puts people on the dance floor!

By changing a few components we were able to retain the unmistakable voice of the Wah Rocker circuit without sacrificing the low end. By shifting the BR-2's filter sweep to a lower frequency range, an entire gamut of new sounds are now attainable. Variable Threshold (determines strength of effect) and Decay (determines the speed of the effect) controls allow for a wide variety of auto-wah effects that are similar in tone to the classic Mutron Micro V (without the vintage price tag, of course). Lower Threshold settings allow the BR-2 to act as a static low-pass filter, yielding earth-shaking lows on par with the phattest analog synth. In addition to use with the bass, the BR-2 works perfectly as an outboard filter effect for DJs and Dance and Techno remix projects. The BR-2 is already standard equipment for Bass luminaries like Bootsy Collins, Justin Meldal-Johnsen, and TM Stevens as well as Funk Keyboard pioneer Bernie Worrell.

Spend a little more money and buy a good cryabay if you want any good sound.
Sound
Even when it was brand new, the sound quality was awful. All you hear is a loud pop, but little sound, especially in the lower range. If you play any flaminco struming, forgett getting a funky wah sound, you just get this wierd not really wah-ish sound
Features
The features are very basic (and I guess easy to use), but they really dont let you change much about the produced sound.
Quality
The construction is great, the only problem I had was that the knobs fall off pretty easily after a few months.
Value
I'll just say this: you get what you pay for
