Between wah pedal and volume pedal

Many guitarists and bassists strive for a compact, versatile pedalboard - making multi-functional compact pedals the ideal solution - and the Mooer Free Step fits right into this vision with its sleek, space-saving design that gives players both a wah and a volume pedal in one streamlined unit. What makes the Mooer Free Step stand out is its ability to operate in three flexible modes - functioning either as a wah, a volume pedal, or both simultaneously, with the volume control always active and the wah easily engaged via a push button for seamless transitions during performance. Both core functions are individually adjustable through intuitive onboard controls, allowing for effortless customisation and fluid integration into any setup.

Mooer Free Step

A sophisticated system

The Mooer Free Step combines modern flexibility with classic analogue circuitry to produce a refined set of features designed for versatility and control, offering two side-mounted knobs that enhance the pedal's functionality. "Min Vol" sets the minimum volume for the volume mode, enabling nuanced control over dynamics, while the "Q control" adjusts the custom inductor, shaping the frequency range of the wah to produce a wide palette of expressive tones suited to a variety of musical contexts. A side selector switch further expands its adaptability, enabling the user to choose between two activation sensors - one positioned on top of the treadle for touch-sensitive engagement, and the other a traditional bypass switch located beneath the front end of the control path, ensuring seamless transitions and intuitive operation that encompasses different playing styles.

Impressively versatile

For those looking to save space without sacrificing functionality, the Mooer Free Step offers a smart and compact solution that puts full control right at players' feet, delivering a transparent response that convincingly mimics the feel of a guitar's volume pot. Placed before a naturally overdriven sound, the pedal allows the player to precisely shape the dynamics and level of distortion; if placed in the effects loop, on the other hand, it serves more as a clean volume controller, subtly adjusting levels without significantly altering tone or gain. The wah section is equally impressive, offering a wide tonal range that moves effortlessly from tight Funk to gritty Rock, responding with clarity and character across different styles. All in all, the Mooer Free Step is a true multi-tool - versatile, expressive, and perfectly suited to any pedalboard setup.

About Mooer

Mooer is based in the Chinese city of Shenzhen and has been making products for guitarists since 2010, which include compact single pedals through to multi-effects units and compact amplifiers. The company initially produced a range of mini pedals before making perhaps its most significant breakthrough in 2016 with the sophisticated Ocean Machine delay pedal, which was designed in collaboration with Devin Townsend. Mooer's product range now also includes solutions that feature amp modelling, IR-based speaker simulation, and matching equalisers, and the company's focus remains firmly on the use of digital technology.

A functional solution

Volume swells, cocked wah tones, driving Funk rhythms, and precise dynamic control - all at the touch of a single pedal - are just some of what the Mooer Free Step makes possible, and with its compact size, it fits easily onto a mini pedalboard, making this pedal an ideal companion for musicians on the move. When it comes to placement, both volume and wah pedals work best at the front of the signal chain, offering optimum control over tone and dynamics right from the source. Powering the pedal is simple and flexible - the Mooer Free Step can run on a standard 9V DC power supply (not included) and is thus compatible with almost any pedalboard setup, or alternatively, it can be operated with a 9V battery for added convenience.

Nice wah
Mythjourneys 25.06.2025
I managed to break my first one, but ended up buying another because I like it so much. That said, I’m giving fewer stars for build quality because of that. It’s not the best-sounding wah pedal out there, but I love the foot-detect feature—you don’t need to step heavily on it to activate it, which is super convenient.

Klein, praktisch, gut!
digityp 22.02.2018
Trotz kleiner Trittfläche für den Fuß lässt sich das Fee Step schnell gut bedienen. Praktisch auch den Sensor-Einstellung: Einfach Fuß drauf und loslegen. Fußweg und alles ist beim alten! Wie beim G-Lab

ACHTUNG: Wichtig ist, den Fuß direkt auf beide Sensor Platten vorne und hinten drauf zu legen, sonst springt man kurzzeitig zwischen Wah- und Clean-Einstellung hin und her. Das macht fiese Geräusche wie ein Wackelkontakt.

GUT ist auch: Wegen des kurzen Wegs, sind schnelle, rhythmische Wah-Parts kein Problem. Die Verarbeitung ist gut. Liegt auch nicht zu leicht in der Hand - will sagen - es fällt nicht bei jedem Luftzug direkt um.

Leider gefällt mit persönlich der Sound nicht, habe das Gefühl dass es nicht nur "Wah macht" sondern gleichzeitig - bei jeden Tritt auch lauter wird. Auch ist mir der Free Step persönlich etwas zu scharf, trotz Q-Einstellmöglichkeiten. Als preiswerte und portabale Lösungen zum G-Lab aber durchaus Wert einmal anzutesten!!

Un pedal muy completo y versátil
Claptondos 27.01.2018
Me hacía falta un pedal de volumen, y me interesó este porque es pequeño y me quedaba poco espacio en la pedalera. Lo utilizo básicamente para controlar el volumen de mi guitarra en el escenario.
Añade un wah que suena muy bien, y tiene un pot para modificar el Q y así hacerlo sonar como varios wahs diferentes. Muy interesante el hecho de que se ponga en funcionamiento con solo poner el pie en el pedal, aunque también dispone del sistema clásico de pisar interruptor y así poderlo dejar fijo en cualquier posición. La parte de volumen lleva un pot para limitar el mínimo, de forma que se puede dejar totalmente en silencio en la posición de atrás o fijar un volumen para esa posición. Y por último tiene un modo combinado, en que es pedal de volumen o, si pisas el interruptor, pedal de wah. Muy interesante todo ello.
Como contra el hecho de que a alguno le pueda parecer demasiado pequeño para moverlo con el pie, sobre todo si se está acostumbrado a pedales de volumen o wah más grandes. Pero uno se hace a ello sin más problemas. Y otro es que el pedal de volumen debería de ir al final de la cadena de efectos y el de wah normalmente al inicio, cosa que no se puede hacer con este al ser ambas cosas en un solo pedal. Yo lo uso delante de todo cuando lo llevo en la pedalera, y al final si lo llevo suelto con algún pedal, siempre que no utilice el wah. Aunque tengo que probarlo también en esa posición y ya veré qué es mejor.
Lleva toma para alimentación externa para la que sirve cualquier alimentador standard de 9V con negativo al centro, además de la interna por pila.
En definitiva un gran pedal que combina dos funciones muy interesantes y con gran variedad de funcionamiento.

Volym och wah!
Bobbenmanen 04.02.2020
Har länge letat efter en kombo av volym och wah pedal, Mister Cry Baby tillverkas ju inte längre. Den här funkar riktigt bra, bra wah ljud och som volympedal gör den vad den ska. Tar dessutom liten plats på pedalbordet, vilket är ett stort plus.
