Piedrot « Good pedal, which is doing its job »
Published on 02/02/11 at 05:35Auto wah.
Analog.
Three buttons, even a shred understand!
UTILIZATION
Few adjustments, but they are very effective "sensitivity" (for the effect more or less responsive to pick attack), "peak" (like the Q factor on many pedal is the peak in the treble, more or less pronounced) and a mini switch "drive", practical and quite often present on the automatic wah, it can reverse the attack ("haw" instead of wah, like when you go back with a real wah, very nice ...)
SOUND QUALITY
It is like a lot of wah automatic, meaning that if you push the settings a bit too quickly becomes eardrum-piercing. We must adjust it with discernment.
It can be used with other instruments as guitar, bass in particular is very effective.
Then, you really have a use for this kind of effect because, after the "fun" side and the first experiments, we get tired quickly if it is not a part of your sound or your game guitar. I've had several and it has not escaped the rule and I ended up selling it.
Yet I hesitated to get rid of it because it makes things very nice, especially for funky rhythms Speedee (we hear during prosecution jalopy in the series from the 70s/80s like Starsky and Hutch), that it sounds good and has very specific attacks.
Do not count cons by using it as a real wah pedal. It's easier to use but it is much less versatile.
OVERALL OPINION
Pedal very solid, I've kept twenty years (okay, not use it much) and it has always worked perfectly whenever I needed it. It is the strength of Boss cases, it can withstand almost anything.
It is no longer manufactured for many years.
I find it rather overvalued market opportunity (about 100 euros - or more - most of the time, do not push!), But the effect is "vintage" which touches on just about any stuff, even a crappy, as long as it has over ten years and your dad had one when he played with his buddies from high school. A shit twenty years ago, it's always a crap today, but the oldest and most dilapidated!
That said, this is a good pedal that does its job, but I would not advise more than 60/70 euros. If you consider the price of a micro Q-Tron (Electro Harmonix), used a greater price difference is not justified because, yes, the Boss is rarer, but that's nearly the same sound quality, with possibilities of different settings, of course.
