Prcisons right away that I never had another Wah Wah, and I have tried that one, and APRS have bought!

That said it's a wah wah, with everything you need that big do not always: SETTING THE range, Q, fine tune and boost.
The range knob is a bit cheap: it will be careful not to walk on.
The PDAL is plastic but seems sturdy enough for normal use.
There is no start button: by pressing the pedals lgrement, it activates.

Hackers beware: the effect is modulated by a system that otpique, a piece of heavy cardboard sealed with pieces of melted plastic sorting on the pedals. If you disassemble to remove the spring, be careful not to force this thing has does not look strong at all! And all fawn, has not only serves to remove the spring :-)

UTILIZATION

It is first a simple wah: one operates the pedals and made woouuuaaaa or wouiiiiip or wuuuuuuuuuuuuuiiiiiiiiiioub ... In short, the hair growing and which are either ball crpue discoMan or cascade the Viking depending on whether one plays fonk or metal. She walks cete wah wah!

The buttons are small it useful ... yes ... and no.
Compinaisons opportunities are many, which should adapt diffrent situations. But in fact, do we really need everything?
The diffrence between the combinations may not be significant and it may be easier to have 4 or 6 positions that frankly diffrent 8000.
The manual is not enough to this point of view: we do not know what is and why RULES. You can find yourself ...

The race on the pedals is short, trs short, you need the foot end. That said, all have a short stroke Wah ... there must be a reason, as everyone complains and that manufacturers are not doing anything!

Finally, the effect locks in operating the pedals, there is no switch. This is useful because the effect is IMMEDIATE available, but not practical to cut it: there is a delay ... but in practice, depending on when we would need a timer difffrente. Well, it's a dtail, it will accommodate without too much problem.

SOUND QUALITY

I use it with a guitar, the sound is good, the effect is honest without being a caricature. The sound of the guitar is pretty well respected. It's good quality no doubt, first, like all the Berhinger, a trend hum easy in some cases.

J'apprcie particulirement that it does not shout, it can be fluter the guitar without the sound becomes nasal. This is good.
Side of the mdaille: it is a less funky and can psych a Vox. It is a choice to make.

In the lower register, I find this a little less efficient pedals: the effect is quite small, and is pardre dynamics: a mtalleux, may be a problem.

The boost can be trs useful: it has a switch, so you can play the rhythm without him, and do not put that to the solo, using the wah to pure whistling harmonics ... perfect.

OVERALL OPINION

The price quality ratio is outstanding, and that's why I was careful not to try other! With exprience, I would do this choice, and blind as the very first time!
DCID but if I had to put 2 or 300, it is certain that there are much better, Wahmmy an example!

This PDAL done its job discrtement, for an amateur is the ball.

One question remains: what are the consquences of social production as low cot? On the back of us who enjoy a PDAL this price?
