The MC-404 is a PDAL dveloppe jointly by Bob Bradshaw at Custom Audio Electronics and the team Dunlop / MXR.
The ide as to produce a high-wah range, made from the finest components: the self inductances of Dunlop Fasel and Boost / Line Driver MC-401 MXR home.
- Fully analog
- Rocking crmaillre
- Switch mcanique
- True bypass
- CTS potentiomtre ultra rsistant for scanning frquences
- Fasel 2: Yellow (vintage: 2kHz 400Hz scanning) and red (modern sweep 300Hz 1.4 kHz)
- Internal trim pots to adjust the Q-factor (intensity of effect) for each Fasel and gain
- Boost up to 20 dB
- Tmoins light to activate the wah and boost
- Powered by 9V battery or mains
Trs good quality manufacturing and finishing. PDAL solid. Superb prsentation.
UTILIZATION
The scale is sensitive prcise and progressive. The potentiomtre of boost also.
The switch is silent. The boost is transparent.
Activation of the boost and the choice of door Fasel are up and snap easily.
The black dot? The internal trim pots accessible APRS infrieure have disassemble the plate! A bad habit among traditional manufacturers high-end but from Dunlop?? This lack of trial practice is thunderous!
Personally I drill holes to access the Dremel to trim pots without disassemble the unit.
Other incomprhension: the trim pots are stuck! Therefore dlicatement remove glue the trim pots for free!
In short a good trs pedals whose picture is in these trim pots ENTCH internal colls!
SOUND QUALITY
From this point of view (well in the ears), no dception possible. 2 associated with the Fasel boost offer a nice range of sounds, from '60s wah 'all round and heat, more aggressive and modern sound slamming.
Internal trim pots add these, unfortunately not very accessible, and that add beautiful shades of the wah.
A wah-road whose sound qualities are superb.
OVERALL OPINION
A superb-sounding pedals and multiple high-end. Russianness that a competition without the best interests Dunlop.
As against the internal trim pots colls ... y'en he is fed up!
Go a 9 / 10 for "dtail" nerve and unworthy of Dunlop, however, the specialist in Wahs.
