Both good, still on my board and rocking it! Only quick fix I ever had to do was to tighten 2 screws inside because it started wiggling a little side to side.. super easy and it's been firm ever since.
Thanks for the vid! Do you know if the exp output will work with Boss digital pedals? I'm trying to match a wah/exp with an RC-600 and many exp pedals won't work.
You’re welcome! I am not sure about that one, but i don’t see why not. In my experience, compatibility has more to do with the digital pedal than the Exp pedal itself
Great demo & review. I just wish that, I could part-with: my Fulltone Clyde Deluxe ( but I love it ). This one sounds really good. Very versatile-too. oNe LoVe from NYC
Hey Charles. Great question. NO scratch, which is awesome and unheard of yet in my experience! I did have to tighten a couple screws inside the pedal, with great and clear instructions from the service dept at Hotone, because it started wiggling laterally... which one could expect after 100s of unforgiving foot movements! It was quick and easy. It's good as new still.
Hi Johann,thanks for a great review. I play medium sized gigs with a very small amp(Blues Junior) trying to keep the sound as clean as possible (by micing). Is this gorgeous little SP2 going to overdrive my amp? (I've heard it increases gain and grain. Thanks so much, keep them coming 👍
Hi there! Love the Blues Jr., I still use mine quite a bit. This Wah will do! It doesn't OD amps nearly as much as other Wahs, though keep in mind that you do drive certain frequencies up quite a bit (it's the purpose). So if your amp gain is past 6-7, it'll start breaking up... But that's the beauty of a 15W amp. If it does, turn the Q knob down a bit! You'll still get the wah effect without driving the eq as hard:)
I have a question. Can you actually leave It in volume mode send an output through your chain and the other to a pedal compatibile with an expression and switch between the volume sweels stuff and using this as an EXP pedal?
What about hum? Have you tried, how much hum it catches, if it`s placed close to the power supply? In the first version, the Fasel coil wasn`t shielded, it was unusable, unless it was more than 30cm away from my power supply. A really great review!
For a wah it's very good. The tech behind wahs makes it that it will catch a hum on occasion, but with this unit so far it's been as quiet as a wah can be!
Thank you. I've been wondering about this pedal and I love wah ( I have broke them using them so much, generally the axles fall out and duct taping in place or epoxy). I use an old Vox pedal now and a Talking EHX wah pedal.
Exp function is really straight forward, compared to the innovations highlighted here.. but it’s an awesome and mighty function, especially now that builders start omitting the exp pedal from their multi effects units!
Is it possible to place the Soul Press 2 on a (transformer based) power supply? Or will this cause hum? The inductor in the old red Soul Press wasn't shielded at all...
I'm not sure... what power supply specifically are you talking about? I use a good isolated power supply (Phoenix by Walrus) and it's perfect (except a normal hum when in Wah mode)
Yep, I'd really like to know more about this... it could stop me from buying it. I use a Blues Junior with a clean sound (as loud as I can go) and I'm afraid it's going to push it into overdrive. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated 👍
Havent tried the Joyo (cause I'm so all set with the SPII! haha), but at first look I don't see an EXP function on the Joyo... So that would be one clear argument for the SPII. Joyo looks old school chunky, too
I've never used it as EXP, because it's just too good as a vol/wah. It's almost a shame to use the EXP function, which would cancel out these 2 functions. I transferred my Soul Press 1 over to EXP duties, though! Super small footprint and works well.

Superb demonstration, comprehensive and well-considered. And FINALLY, someone demoing the pedal with a clean sound, plus drive. Great work.
@@stefanhamilton8713 I appreciate the love!
Outstanding demonstration on every level…
Thank you Greg!
Very helpful and tidy review. You actually caused me buying the soul press II.
Cheers mate
Thanks Andy! Hope you’re enjoying the SPII as much as I am, that thing is a slam dunk!
Best demo of this pedal. Ordering now.
Thanks Johann ‼️you are so talented..I love to listen to you play the guitar 🎸❤️🥰👏
How freaking good can he play those funky wah grooves OMG! Great Player!
Thank you!
Cool Johann ! J'apprécie depuis le Burkina ou je suis en mission pour 6 semaines ! Tu as vraiment un super talent ! Amitiés ! Rémy Moret
Very thorough, informative review by a great player
Thank you!
Great demo!! How bout the quality and durability?
Both good, still on my board and rocking it! Only quick fix I ever had to do was to tighten 2 screws inside because it started wiggling a little side to side.. super easy and it's been firm ever since.
Best demo for this pedal hands down
Thank you so much!
review that I've been look for
Such a great review. Loved the "Q all the way down trick" and its applications.
hotone, electro harmonix and nux are some of the best bang for buck
As a very experienced player I say very well performed and musically explored!
Nicely done 😊
This are an awesome musician. Enjoyed learning from this video. This id do interesting. Thank you.
How's this pedal when it comes to the gain. When you switch it on does it automatically overboost your signal like most wah pedal?
As close to "no" as it gets. Never been an issue for me with this pedal.
Thanks for the vid! Do you know if the exp output will work with Boss digital pedals? I'm trying to match a wah/exp with an RC-600 and many exp pedals won't work.

We love our gear, what can we do! Haha
Hi. Thanks for the review. How is the wah after a year of use? Any scratchy pots or problems with the switch? Thank you

HA! Love that concept. I don't think it's possible, though. I currently use my SP one as EXP.

Ten film przekonał mnie ostatecznie do tej kaczki❤
9:30 almost teared me up :P

Same here! This one is definitely worth a try:)
great review! though! this has also an expression function which for some reason everyone omits for some reason?
Exp function is really straight forward, compared to the innovations highlighted here.. but it’s an awesome and mighty function, especially now that builders start omitting the exp pedal from their multi effects units!
What kinda cables does it take? Normal instrument cables or TRS? Many thanks
Normal quarter inch.
does it's volume control gradually increasing and decreasing or not?...
Yes, it's very linear
Is it possible to place the Soul Press 2 on a (transformer based) power supply? Or will this cause hum? The inductor in the old red Soul Press wasn't shielded at all...
I'm not sure... what power supply specifically are you talking about? I use a good isolated power supply (Phoenix by Walrus) and it's perfect (except a normal hum when in Wah mode)
Hi, they say this is compatible with Quad Cortex. Did you have any chance to try out? chers
I haven't had that chance yet!
what is better one or two?
Hi, can i connect the Tone Press ll with 18V ?
I don't believe you can; refer to the manual to make sure. I always abide to factory specs when it comes to electrical matters
Anyone else's SP2 adding a bit of grit/dirt when using the wah? Mine seems to boost the signal a bit and add some dirt.
Yep, I'd really like to know more about this... it could stop me from buying it. I use a Blues Junior with a clean sound (as loud as I can go) and I'm afraid it's going to push it into overdrive. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated 👍
Hotone Soul Press 2 ou Joyo Wah 2?
Havent tried the Joyo (cause I'm so all set with the SPII! haha), but at first look I don't see an EXP function on the Joyo... So that would be one clear argument for the SPII. Joyo looks old school chunky, too
... and the expression pedal demo? :(

Sorry. That should be you are an awesome musician.
Same size as my phone, hmm? Wah Wah on the floor phone. Whoduh Thunk huh?
