Description

Shortly after the release of the Pink Flow multi pedal JAM Pedals started receiving continuous requests to build custom stand alone Seagull effects pedals. In seeking to address this demand their way, JAM Pedals introduced the Seagull as part of their standard line, with improved controls and extended functionality.

Choose between the distinct "seagull" sound heard in Pink Floyd's "Echoes" or vocal, vintage cocked wah tones, courtesy of the celebrated Red Fasel inductor also found in the JAM Pedals Wahcko.

We hope the JAM Pedals Seagull inspires you to create unique sonic moments and have a wah-nderfull time while you are at it!

Two Pedals In One

Outside of the traditional seagull effect the JAM Pedals Seagull allows you to access a full range of cocked wah sounds. Pair with your favourite fuzz pedal, overdrive pedal or distortion pedal to add the legendary wah filter and cut through the mix with tons of vintage mid range sass!

Controls

All of the onboard controls are shared amongst both modes (seagull or cocked wah)

L: Controls the output level
F: Fine tunes the frequency
S: Three way toggle switch that selects between three distinct sweep ranges
C: Two way toggle switch that selects between seagull (right) and cocked wah (left) modes
Footswitch: Keep pressed for longer times to momentarily engage (press to engage, release to disengage) or press and release instantaneously for traditional ON or OFF operation

Please follow these steps to make sure you properly operate and control the Seagull

Make sure your guitar has passive pickups
Make sure there are no buffered bypass pedals between your guitar and the Seagull
Engage the effect, when you do:
Adjust the output volume to your taste
Turn your guitar’s volume knob all the way up
You change the pitch by manipulating your guitar’s tone pot
You can select different pickup settings on your guitar to alter the fundamental pitch
Long delay repeats and/or lush reverb are recommended!

A little background history on the Seagull from www.gilmourish.com:

"David Gilmour explains in an interview with Guitar Player (January 09):
"We discovered it as the result of a serendipitous accident that happened in about 1969 or 1970, when a roadie had plugged the wah in the wrong way, and I stomped into it and got this incredible screaming noise."
The brilliance of this effect isn't really the effect, but the fact that David went ahead and explored how he could tame and integrate the effect in a song after obviously having heard something that must have sounded quite horrible. Actually, David employed the effect long before Pink Floyd wrote Echoes. It can be heard during early live versions of the unreleased song Embryo
Echoes was premiered April 22 1970 in Norwich UK (introduced as Return of the Son of Nothing). The seagull sequence was now moved to Echoes from Embryo, which now featured echo swells produced with the Binson Echorec."
