AceLeppard « Wah I've always wanted! »
Published on 12/22/13 at 14:21Wah pedal, fully analog. A jack, an output jack. Activation switch as a standard Crybaby or Vox. Note that the switch is off the Colorsound, which I find reduces the chances of disabling effect during use.
Sector not adapter, power is by 9 volt battery. It's pretty annoying to have to unplug it every time to maximize battery life, but it is a crease to take on vintage pedals.
Metal case class, chrome contour of the moving part makes it look fabulous!
UTILIZATION
The general configuration is super simple: no additional knob or switch on the horizon. In absolute pedal offers only sound one and made one feel, but it is excellent.
Mine is a vintage model, so I have not had the opportunity to see the record, it is far from being necessary, as with all wah "basic".
When you're used to more standard wahs (Vox and Crybaby ...) the pedal is disconcerting at the beginning: the race is almost twice as long, and the low position really comes down very low in the grave, and we obtain all kinds of strange harmonics.
Once these parameters controlled and appreciated, it is very difficult or almost impossible for me to retake on a classic wah as race and therefore the resulting expressiveness seem to be limited.
SOUND QUALITY
The record is simply phenomenal, with a mad expression when it comes to me as classic and modern wahs made mass with cheap components.
High frequencies are acidic and piercing without being disagreeable, frequencies lower mids are warm and enveloping, and sounds from space are available when the pedal falls completely (to so serious).
Scanning frequency Colorsound this implies a more precise and controlled that game on a standard wah: a small tilt of the foot during the race you can go from one sound to another, and this, along the race and especially in the treble.
The effect may well be impressive, it still recognizes the slamming and accuracy of a single-or fat and punch of a humbucker without worries.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for two months now.
I had in the past a Chinese Vox, two recent crybaby and a Dunlop / Custom Audio Electronics.
A friend lent me this Colorsound (gray box) in the early 70's and a Vox 1973 that I try to back because I wanted to acquire a great wah but do not want to get into the world of vintage without testing beforehand.
I already loved rendering Colorsound disk (Brian Robertson of Thin Lizzy on "Do not Believe a Word," Nono Trust on "Elite" ...), it is even more impressive in real life, and I can not imagine one day return on a wah current production.
I still think acquire a vox or crybaby vintage one day or the other as the Vox sounded good in 1973, with a beautiful sound throughout the pedal stroke.
But the side a little eccentric, exclusive and terribly expressive especially this Colorsound won.
I fell in love, and my friend has kindly agreed to sell me at a very good price.
However, even at 150 euros (price usually seen), I think this pedal is a great deal, or the price for vox or vintage Jen start to become delirious.
