Here is a rare wah, which is unfortunate.
- Manufactured in the United States
- Fully analog
- Switch to optical detection
- Mechanical switch on / bypass on the side, true bypass
- Selector wah: wah, auto-wah, wah sequential
- 4 memories for sequential wah
- Sensitivity control and inverter filter for self-wah
- Exit pedal tap tempo and choice of wah (Boss FS-6 recommended)
- Powered by 9V battery or adapter (transformer not included, as usual)
The big plus of this mode is the wah wah sequential memory, to my knowledge only Zvex also.
The build quality and finish is exemplary.
UTILIZATION
First point: the switch on / bypass is arranged on the side and not on the scale. Not always practical, but this is due to the presence of auto-wah wah and that can be sequentially activated and without touching the switch.
Second point: it is possible to add two external switch to control the tap tempo switch or sequential wah wah of the classic auto-wah wah or sequentially. This is well thought out and very practical ... but optional! The Boss FS-6 is recommended, but it will still add the 60 euros!
For the rest of this pedal is very easy to use: in auto-wah, the switch controls the inverter filter, wah sequential mode, the switch changes the tempo in real time.
The scale is accurate, sensitive and progressive.
I put 9 / 10 for the double switch option and yet is a real plus.
SOUND QUALITY
The sound quality is superb.
The Wah is based on the classic Vox Clyde McCoy (as almost all Wahs ...). Quality is at the appointment.
The auto-wah is in the same vein and the inverter at the foot of filter available is very effective.
But the real highlight of this wah is sequential: it involves tremolo and wah. It allows moving from one band-pass filter to another with a tremolo effect. All combinations are possible and very easy to program with the added ability to store 4 different settings. The external tap tempo determines the global tempo, which can then edit in real time accurately and with the progressive tilt: effects spectacular, the slow wah-wah tremolo ground in rage.
The external switch can also instantly switch to the classic wah wah in sequential or self-wah.
What more?
OVERALL OPINION
A great wah wah equipped with a highly effective sequence. A must-wah.
Only competitor: the Zvex Ooh Wah 2, but less convenient to use, less versatile and more expensive (okay there are two pedals offer somewhat different results: the Voodoo Lab is more versatile and easy to use but Zvex is a true factory Wahs sequential).
Remaining two spots: the double switch to add external and rarity.
This pedal is a marvel.
