Snarling Dogs Mold Spore Wah

analog effect combining a ring modulator and a wah.

UTILIZATION

name of control a little psychedelic, difficult to navigate at first but once the pedal it will hand all alone.

SOUND QUALITY

Wah in the tradition Snarling dog, deep and "fat". Much more fun just another crybaby. Different variation on the filter available.
The ring mod when it is a very particular. Aggressive, noisy and derailed quickly. Néamoins it is interesting because the frequency can be modulated by the foot, along with the wah! It happens quickly a kind of vocal sounds as if the pedal was talking about. (Some videos on youtube shows). Effect that "noiseux" might enjoy.

OVERALL OPINION

I concidére a bit like Old Gregg wah. If the wah is a standard Snarling dog in the ring mod when it was EXTREMELY rude, noisy and messy it does not come out all the time (just like old gregg).
I had the chance to chopper for all expensive, the prices are insane ebays. Even if the pedal is "rare", its build quality is not the most exemplary and ring mod effect is not as frequently used as an overdrive or fuzz. Even if it is a pedal that I love because I doubt very original ca worth 250euros.

fun element, the size of the inductor (responsible for the wah filter) is huge!

Whawha pedal and ring mod, the only one I know to do the two effects in the same box, rare model is no longer manufactured.
3 position selector whawha with frequency or "type" of wha (from low to high) and a level control (volume or gain) of wha.
+ A fully analog ring modulator with adjustable mix modulated signal / signal clean, and levels of the modulated signal of fréqence modulation.Un switch to select the frequency range and a switch to choose between the knob or use the tray for the wha control the modulation frequency.
Jack in and out
hatch for battery and 9v power supply jack
2 footswitch and LED 2, by an effect.
Ability to use both effects independently or together.
Contrary to what the doc not true bypass.

UTILIZATION

Once we understand what does each setting is very simple, the use of incongruous names but does not really help with handling and if necessary 2 / 3 look at the doc's quickly memorized.
I speak here of the party ring mod, for wha nothing complicated.
Examples of regulation of the doc and snarling dogs site can help to identify, especially when you want to use both effects at the same time (see the link given below).
8 / 10 because the readability of the setting is not great at first.

SOUND QUALITY

The wha are good, and somewhere between morley dunlop is more "clean" as dunlop but not as "hifi" as morley.La pedal travel is somewhere in between, very pleasant to my taste and look nice shaped feet.

With the three types and tuning wha-level can cover all types of applications: from clean funky wha acute wha the big slobbery and crunchy metal.

The ring mod is rather rough but knows how to remain civilized, we can have all the sounds of a ring mod type ehx basic frequency analysis with a more limited frequency range and a benefit is being able to control the frequency modulation foot effects for good space.

By combining the two effects is hello weird robotic sounds that will delight fans of experimental sound and Noizy.

6 / 10 as the pedal is true bypass home which in itself is not bad if the pedal is well designed which is not the case here since she eats a lot of sound.
A change at this level is possible.
Without that j'aurrais put 9 / 10, the effects are good and original but the pedal is better elsewhere (for 2-3x the price too)

OVERALL OPINION

Bought out of curiosity and because it is rather rare and unique, value for money was no longer new, it is good on occasion around 150 euros, they could just sell the game wha at that price.
That's what they do on the new models.
Wonder when even a time to be tamed when using the two effects simultaneously.
