Malu
Published on 08/07/08 at 05:04
The APW-7 is a wah pedal that I can not tell you the technology (but not light!). In one entry, one out, a port for a 9V power supply, the classic big.
Classic but not especially well done in terms of entry for the power supply which is on the right side of the beast (I say this because I find most convenient entries to the "back" of the pedals). Access to battery is very easy: a trap in the pedal, easy opening with your fingers.
There are two knobs: Range, which determines the extent of the filter, and Whish, or the power of the additional effect, to add punch. There are a selector to adapt to a low pedal.
I had it for about 70 euros in stores.
Edit the August 7: it is unbreakable!
UTILIZATION
No manual at the same time, what for? A respect for the environment.
The config 'is generally easy, 2 knobs to adjust, it is not death. And then a wah, you can not expect a lot of different sounds, but with nuances.
SOUND QUALITY
Well it has a Wah-Wah, whose effect is appreciable for the solo of "Killing in the name of" for example. The rhythmic funk out easily. But we want to use this pedal for more subtle things, like music based on mood, it shows its limits.
I help with an Ibanez Gio and Fender HotRod Deluxe.
One can criticize his lack of progressivity in the transition from low to high, but still satisfactory.
I put him 7 because it is suitable for funky rhythm, which is often essential to use a wah, and because the Whish offers a little more.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for almost 6 months now, and I am generally satisfied.
The plus for me is the Whish, and the least is the entrance to the power supply '(not included) not practical.
I had previously used a Wah pedal from a ME (the figure escapes me), it grows more than the Wah of a multi effects is clear.
The report QP is pretty good without being exceptional.
With the experience I taterai to add twenty euros to offer me a Vox instead.
Edit the August 7, 2008: After having had the opportunity to try the cry baby and Vox, I think the price / quality ratio is better, as it turns out to be true bypass, ultra-strong, and contrary to the vox, it does not attack the ears in aigus.Je thought a change of two models I mentioned, but I see that I did not really win the exchange. 9 / 10 deserved it!
