    Artec APW-5 Dual Mode Power WahPublished on 11/09/08 at 03:01
    (This content has been automatically translated from French)
    Controls range (changes the bandwidth)
    Possibility to plug in a guitar as a bass (I dailleurs uses notament for my bass) thanks a button that allows you to enable or disable the "bass" mode, which is pretty cool for those who play both.
    Runs on 9V battery or adapter (not included) 9V / 100ma
    Between a / an exit.

    USE

    Very easy to learn, it adheres well to the ground. Being given that there is a knob has nothing difficult programer. If we play with a bass there has to press a little button and presto wha reprodui bandwidth low.
    Only BMOL! the pedal is horrible squeaking when used up what we put grease on the two screws on each cot after that not a single noise.

    SOUND QUALITY

    Well it is not with Dunlop ^^ so it does not need to expect a miracle. The sound is not bad but is sometimes a bit too cold so wha wrong rgle. I did really tst pa on a guitar but if the bass is corrected well eq his pass pretty well. But still be careful to coriger eq otherwise the sound is not always clean and beautiful. Otherwise overall the sound quality is not bad especially for the price (65 75 celon sellers). Only non ngligable inconvenient "a pop" a bit too hard when active wha but his pass carefree on stage or repeated if the volume of amp is loud enough.

    NOTICE GLOBAL

    This makes little prs three months that I use and so far no problem, but it was not until I fix the horrible squeaking and I abitu to "pop" when I active .dropoff window As a rule Gnral this pedal is not bad. The sound is decent with a good eq and a little know-how are no problems! If not in terms of quality for money is a good deal. Over time I will buy my Dunlop paut be a cry baby! but you have to meter the price! ^^ I also provided that if c has to inicier wha wha so dark! but if you're a pro in the matter and that you search the angin parfais you will instead of!

    Solid but not great

    Wha-wha guitar or bass with a setting range.

    Close up positive pedal metal very strong and super beefy, there is an LED for activation which does not necessarily exist in a state Cry-Baby.

    UTILIZATION

    Yes it is a whah wah what.

    Another big positive engagement is really easy and it is far from always the case on wha-wah so it is anything but a detail in my opinion.

    The pedal travel is very soft and pleasant to use.

    SOUND QUALITY

    This is where it goes bad, as said in previous reviews the effect is absolutely not, but then absolutely not progressive, the "wah" type occurs on 5% of the pedal travel.

    It is very dull on a large part of the race and suddenly it's …

    It is very dull on a large part of the race and suddenly it's "wah" pedal lowering 5mm, personally it is not at all that I want to use this type of pedal stroke I think it is pretty poor in fact ...

    Add to that the fact that the sound saturates easily (at least on my config humbuckers / randall tube) and suddenly my perspective pedal really sucks.

    OVERALL OPINION

    It will be easy enough to summarize:
    - The "mechanical" side is pretty good.
    - The next "electronic" is rather very bad.

    Too bad the design is pretty good, but the circuit at all, suddenly it can serve as a good case to possibly put another circuit, but from my point of view it can be used for anything else.

    Well

    It's a wah wah, with a knob to select the frequency range concerned by the effect, a selector for use with bass or guitar.
    Very solid all-metal, all trust.

    UTILIZATION

    Is pressed, the effect is warming up (wow), with the volume pot range you can have an effect that is very (very) dull to very loud.
    the effect is not super progressive, it's more than wwwwwwwwwwwwaaaahhh wwwwwaaaaahhhhh, so 2 points less.
    Oh, and no trouble as the trigger on my baby cry.

    SOUND QUALITY

    Pile hair what I wanted, ie a wha a bit more customizable than the cry baby and also more present.
    As stated above you can go for great deaf to very loud, it's perfect.
    Comes out clean in both dis…

    Comes out clean in both disto.
    I use it with guitars (humbuckers and singles) on lamps and Kustom amp disto Palmer.
    I can get kind of sounds like Morello Adam Jones, so it's all good.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for a few days before that I tried to Ibanez WD7 wah one and a cry baby (as well as wahs of multis), it is that I intend to keep (or to his then APW7 Wish function).
    The pros: sturdy, easy to trigger, versatility, sound.
    The -: not quite progressive.
