The Ooh Wah Wah II is a sequential, then whatever name we give it, to get an accurate idea better to visit the site Zvex.
Zack Vex described as the combination of a tremolo and a wah, finally saying to be more precise, a tremolo and fixed 8-wahs.
To my knowledge, only one other pedal offers currently being considered: the Voodoo Lab Wahzoo.
- Built and painted by hand in the USA Zvex
- Fully analog
- Switch on / bypass
- Switch seek / random
- Selector 4, 6 or 8 "no", that is to say wahs
- Speed of the effect
- Frequency of the filter for each wah
- 9V battery power or sector (increasingly common in Zvex)
Supplied in cardboard box logo, with red fabric and fantasy.
Manufacturing quality and finishing copy.
UTILIZATION
The setup is simple but tedious:
We choose 4, 6 or 8 wahs, it sets the frequency of the bandpass filter for each wah, you set the scanning rate, we choose the "seek" (sequence set) or "random" (random sequence) and c ' left.
The negative points are:
- The Zvex pedal format, meaning small. The mini-potentiometers to select the frequency of the bandpass filter for wah each are small and not easy to handle for big fingers.
- A tap tempo would have been welcome, even an outlet for an expression pedal to change the speed. This is what Voodoo Lab on Wahzoo, and it is both interesting and practical the noise level
- = No memory if a setting is satisfactory, it should be noted before changing and impossible to come back soon: we must all re-adjust. A memory bank would not be useless. (It also proposes that the Voodoo Lab).
SOUND QUALITY
On this point, of course, no longer critical. The result can be fast or slow and psychedelic (limit tremolo) and hypnotizing. Anything is possible. This pedal is a real machine experiment. The random mode brings even more spectacularly.
Of course, the effect does not always fit easily into your music, but it is one of the most exploitable Zvex effects.
OVERALL OPINION
Always difficult to put anything other than 10/10 to a Zvex pedal.
Of course it has faults, particularly regarding the effect setting, tedious and not particularly memorable. Similarly, the ability to associate a tap tempo or even an expression pedal would have been appropriate and would have even helped to extend the sonic possibilities of this pedal.
This pedal is mostly affected by the presence of its competitor, better designed, more versatile and less expensive: the Voodoo Lab Wahzoo.
A severe 9 / 10 in the end, but the basics of this pedal is rare.
