All user reviews of 4/5 for the Ernie Ball 6185 Wah Pedal

Wah Wah Pedal Classic, identical to the Dunlop Cry Baby (not the form of course) on a technical level (no frills or complex technology)
Cell or sector (1 9 Boss style DC adapter will do)
Great ergonomics and the foot pedal that looks well built and sturdy.

UTILIZATION

Setup could not be more simple.


SOUND QUALITY

Here we are in sound that stands out from the Dunlop Cry Baby (just to know that this example). Indeed, for my part, I am separated from the Dunlop because the sound was too loud in the treble and not enough light in the bass.
With Ernie Ball, the sound is nickel at either end of the pedal.
The impact is actually quite sweet but subtle.


OVERALL OPINION

Good pedal, its really good and very distinct, for lovers of pedals Wha Wha uncompromising and very good. A

This is a standard wah pedal, made by Ernie Ball. It can't be edited using a computer, and it's not MIDI-ready. It's an analog pedal and it's not rackable.

UTILIZATION

The cool thing about this, unlike some good wahs, is that you don't have to take off the back to put the batteries in, and there's also an adapter feature. It's not every day you see that, and it saves a lot of time. It's the basic wah pedal, so it's easy enough to manage, just rock the pedal back and forth and click to bypass. The manual explains it all.

SOUND QUALITY

This is an interesting wah pedal, not the most obvious or generic-sounding one I've ever heard. In fact, one of the noticable things about it is that it manages to make everything pretty clear without getting too bright. This is an issue for me with wah pedals, as I either find them too muddy or too bright. Although this might not be quite bright enough for me, it's refreshing to not pierce your eardrums every time you lean too far on a wah. A great thing is that when you bring it down really far, and filter out all the higher frequencies, you aren't muddying up the signal to no end. I can't always say that about my Vox wah, even though I love that thing. It's not the most transparent wah out there, but it's not too bad. I like it with my clean Strat sounds and the dirty ones, and really think the Les Paul with the gain cranked is a great sound.

OVERALL OPINION

This is a great wah pedal. Wahs seem to be either good or bad, and this one's definitely good. I think it's not too expensive ($150 or so), so the value is overally pretty good. The fact that you don't have to fiddle in the back means I probably won't be breaking anything anytime soon, which is also a plus. I would highly recommend this one for functionality and reliability.
