This wah is not new. It dates from a few years now ... but it is not rare to find sales on a famous site enchres online.
So what is it worth?

- Made in the USA
- Analog
- True bypass
- Optical switches dtection
- Electronic switch under the heel!
- Switch to select latral wah or volume pedal
- Powered by 9V battery or sector, but with an atypical form mle ...
- Variable output voltage supply via the rocker (what utility ???)

Solid construction, modern technology, this wah inspires confidence, without being a work of art, with a small ct "crude dcoffrage."



USE

Here is a small pedal !!! Almost to the size Boss !! In short size for the Smurfs. Surprising departure, especially with his switch disposed under the heel !!
But this is not the only peculiarity of this pedal.
The mains power supply is via a plug mle unidentified. In short I prfr opt for 9V battery.
The rocker possde a graaaaaande VERY amplitude. And given the small size of the rocker, hard excuter prcis of movement.
For the rest, this rocker remains pleasant. The stiffness is class and remains sensitive and progressive.
To switch the wah volume effect, a small switch is disposed on the side. The pedal is lightweight and it is quite difficult switch trigger without dplacer the pedal.

In short, an original format but difficult apprhender foot.

SOUND QUALITY

Moving quickly on the mode volume, which is not his strength. A correct volume pedal but with losses in the treble.

For wah, this effect is very typ. The beach is laaaarge frequency drives scans. The wah effect is spectacular (the Q factor should be enough lev. Being given the small size of the scale, it is very difficult to do in finesse. But if you are looking for a VERY pronounced wah indeed even vocoder or spcial Indeed, this is all done wah says.
So for the funk and bizarre effects, yes. For blues, no.

The advantage is that this wah is doing with honors with a big distortion, even up upstream of the distortion. For the metal, the efficiency is at the rendezvous, while keeping much of warmth and character.
For funk, handle delicately the rocker at the risk of completely mute cheeks notes. This pedal also very well accept the bass.

NOTICE GLOBAL

Wah that is no longer built but is available quite easily, even new, via internet.
Wah very kind, modern but warm sonority. For a dramatic effect very !! Warning, this wah is not in half measures, and very futuristic look is perfect its sonoritsimpressionnantes.
A great pedal that comes out of the box, for connoisseurs.
