As indicated on the sticker applied to the rocking of the pedal: this is not a wah-wah.
But what then? A pitch binder. Understand manual vibrato, like a guitar, but the foot. It is also associated with a mandatory response.
- Analog
- Tip rack
- Switch on / bypass
- Vibrato switch direction (towards the treble or bass to)
- 4 mini switches the balance of the effect
- 4 mini switches for feedback echo
- Input / output jack at the front lights!
- Activation and control of the vibrato effect at the rear lights!
- 9V battery power or mains
The design of the pedal is very original. The build quality is poor: I bought this pedal new. Upon opening the box, I noticed that the rack was broken. Now I bought a Danelectro Dano Wah previously used and that the rack was also broken at the exact same place. I put it down to its status as second-hand pedal a little abused. But now I know he is in fact a construction defect: the stem attaching the rack to the rocker is actually too large for the opening of the rack. This weakens or even breaks the rack at the point of attachment to the rocker. This defect is easy to repair, but I still have 2 pedals Danelectro on a rack 3 having broken that I had to repair and strengthen.
For this very unpleasant and unacceptable I put a nice 5 / 10 as the pedal is very successful elsewhere. But this raises the question of its reliability and quality of construction on the remaining items!
UTILIZATION
Using this pedal is very simple, in fact the manual is printed on the underside of the pedal, and it is quite sufficient.
Here, no fine tuning and complex for the two onboard effects, only 4 possibilities, but it's good enough.
In addition, each setting is accessible by foot. The ergonomics are well thought out, the rocker is comfortable, its course is short, which is voluntary. However, we can lengthen it by simply unscrewing the 2 pads that limits the amplitude of deflection for a more dramatic effect yet.
SOUND QUALITY
Echo is just like vintage and be short and unique (slapback) or prolonged and "space" for a record or psychedelic rockabilly.
The vibrato is quite special: By pressing the lever is triggered vibrato, but once you stop the rocking, it immediately returns to the original note, you can not "hold the bend." This pedal thus requires learning time, but then it is easy to achieve vibrato at the foot bends or transient.
The effect can sound vintage, years 50-60 typed, but also very modern as it is original. To you to do what you want, after all it is a fact exceptionally heard.
An amazing sound effect the result. Effect separately.
OVERALL OPINION
Therefore propose here a Danelectro pedal to the original design and the effect is surprising. She begs to be experienced to sound amazing results.
This remains unacceptable construction defect which earned him a 7 / 10. Too bad, this pedal is really special and deserves better treatment by their manufacturers. The value for money may seem great at first, but finally the build quality is less than the price, yet content.
Moreover it is a true collector, like its sister wahs Danelectro: it is very difficult to find. This I discovered by chance really.
