About Electro-Harmonix Hot Wax

Under the banner of the renowned brand Electro-Harmonix, the innovative Hot Wax Dual Overdrive Pedal emerges as a game-changer in the realm of musical equipment. This high-quality pedal is a fusion of the brand's acclaimed Hot Tubes and Crayon pedals, creating a powerful dual-overdrive system that is both versatile and advanced.

Designed to enhance the sound of both guitar and bass, the Hot Wax pedal offers two distinct overdrive flavors. Each section can be independently engaged, allowing musicians to experiment with a variety of tonal landscapes. When combined, these sections generate a massive, overdriven sound that is sure to captivate any audience.

The Hot Wax Dual Overdrive Pedal is equipped with a two-knob EQ, featuring BASS and TREBLE controls for comprehensive tonal manipulation. The BLEND control allows for a seamless mix between your dry and distorted sound, ensuring a perfect balance for every performance. These controls remain active whether one or both distortion sections are engaged, and are bypassed when both overdrive sections are turned off.

The VOL Knob on the Hot Tubes section sets the master output level, while the DRIVE knob adjusts the intensity of the overdrive. If only the Crayon section is active, its VOL knob sets the master output level. When both sections are active, the VOL knob on the Crayon section determines the balance between the drive sections of the Crayon and Hot Tubes.

The Hot Wax pedal also features a BLEND knob to mix the dry and distorted signal, along with TREBLE and BASS Equalization knobs to boost or cut high and low frequencies respectively. The pedal is further equipped with Hot Tubes and Crayon footswitches, each accompanied by LEDs that illuminate when their respective sections are engaged.

Lastly, the Hot Wax Dual Overdrive Pedal comes with a 1/4" audio output jack and a 1/4" audio input jack, ensuring easy integration with your existing musical setup. This durable and versatile pedal is a must-have for musicians seeking to elevate their sound to new heights.
