Hey everyone, I’ve been trying to reproduce this exact wah wah sound that is in this song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6pUqdP4-Ic the single keyboard note or chord that goes “wah wah wah” whether with inserts, or a synth that just sounds like that on its own, whatever it is would be fine as long as I get that sound. I tried the wah wah plugin but it does not do the “echoing” effect like the one in the song, I hop I explained myself well. Help would be greatly appreciated!
Sounds like a guitar, with sustaining chords. The “echo” you hear is the guitar fading, while the wah pedal is going up and down in time with the music.
If I were to reproduce this, using any fading sound (guitars or pianos), add a wah-wah insert (the stock Cubase will do for a start), and automate the pedal (put the track into record and wiggle the pedal with the mouse). Then zoom and edit the automation until it’s just right.
I do this all the time with my MusicLab guitars and the Waves GTR Wah.
This is just an example to give you an idea.

Beautiful automation there 
You can also do these simple wah moves with the C14 Pro Modulators, attaching an LFO to the wah pedal.
For wah FX, the Waves pack became free, check Waves or BPB.
Or Flying-AutoWahwah.vst3, also free.
Or IK Mixbox also has a wah and some awesome filters. There’s a free version, I love the FX in Mixbox.
@Antoine-B @Googly_Smythe thank you so much for the responses, I’m not an expert with Cubase Pro, I’m using the free trial. The only wah wah I can see are the insert that is under “filters” and the one that is in VST amp rack. I don’t know how to automate the pedal on Cubase wah wah insert, or how to even access a pedal. I also don’t know what is a C14 Pro Modulators, and how to attach an LFO to the wah pedal. I appreciate further help! 
Here’s a short video. It ain’t a pro production!
View it on YouTube, I think the quality is better.
There’s no sound.
If you mean the chord that is played on a full bar - that does not necessarily have to be a WahWah. It can also be a tremolo effect.
Here is something in Retroluge (a VSTi that is included in Cubase 14):
We use an LFO to modulate the volume.
Additionally I added a bit of Resonance modulation with the same LFO, to make it sound a touch like a WahWah. Mind you, this setting does not sound 100% like in the song. It just shows the principle idea.
I would second what @Googly_Smythe said: Sounds like a simple sustained guitar chord Ebm9 (eb gb db f bb) with a wah pedal to me. No trickery involved

We might not be referring to the same sound, I’m referring to the fist “wah wah wah” you hear after the drum intro and the vocals (drum intro - vocals - wah wah wah sound - then the song starts), that repeats every first chord of the progression. Not sure this is what you meant.
@Googly_Smythe thank you it did work! I made a manual wah wah and it got close to the song, still have to make some adjustments to make it sound like that
Such misunderstanding might be avoided by giving a time stamp.
However, I think we are talking about the same thing. You can use a WahWah if you prefer that.
