You may have thought that playing into a “cup” or “mug” for effect was more of a “demonstrative” thing. Very cool but not much use beyond that…
Consider this… the “cup mute” effect could be used in the same way a trumpet player uses a trumpet mute – in the right place, it would be a great effect to have.
I wanted a professional solution that:
✔ Had great tone
✔ Was convenient to use – just pick up and play
✔ Allows you to play more freely
✔ Aims the sound directly forward
✔ Looks Pro
The Harp Wah was the result.

I tried the old-school “playing into a cup” technique but I always found it awkward – especially when trying to aim the sound into a mic. It also limited my playing style – I wanted to play the way I normally do. I could never get fully comfortable with it.
