This is not a wah pedal but a double function: the pedal works as a lever for vibrato guitar and switches on the sides allow you to adjust an effect of echo / reverb that sounds very 50's / 60's .
So, a priori, a typical pedal rockabillly, surfmusic ... But it is ultimately much more versatile than that.
It is a heavy pedal, sturdy and ultimately rather well designed ergonomically.
The finish is gray / silver (no flames as in the photo)
It's an analog pedal with one input, one output, a pedal, switches 10, a hatch for battery 9v power supply and socket for standard ext.
UTILIZATION
The coolest thing about this pedal is small switches that are on the sides: the right choice of 4 posts slapback ranging from very short to a sort of infernal reverberation, left four settings ranging mix of "discreet" to "effect only". It has good flexibility and all that may set foot: no need to bend down to turn the knobs and even without TIAG it happens quite easily switch it all of a recovery half-volley - )
The thing a little weird at first, is the pedal that does not react completely as a vibrato lever: you can not hold the detuning: it can only boost (more or less strong) that will effect . But you soon realize that the benefit of this system is that it can have a "vibrato" full manual: speed and depth can be adjusted continuously under your foot!
By exploring this functionality, we gradually left the field to get into the rockabilly sound of the universe "on SergaentPepper" pinkfloyd the beginning ...
SOUND QUALITY
The pedal does not have his food: it has to do with the stuff of good quality.
Like all Danelectro pedals I know, daddy's shift offers a warm palette of sounds good. The effects of Echo-reverberation are really beautiful: there would be elsewhere in the ShiftDaddy components 2 mini-pedals: the BLT-Slapecho people and those of Corned Beef Reverb.
One thing is certain: there are two simultaneous effects: Can not reproduce these effects with a single pedal Danecho, for example.
Interestingly, the most extreme position mix can cut the sound completely original, keeping only the effect: we can - by playing two amps on one side, keep an original sound, and have only the effect on the other amp.
The effect of detuning is very natural as there will be smooth. It's a pedal that we must learn to master, just like that of a Wah.
OVERALL OPINION
I use you for 6 months and I can not get enough. I admit it took me a little time to take stock of the capabilities of this machine. On the other hand, we will immediately find all the "moods" of Hypertypical surfmusic or rockbilly: playing vibrato, pushing the echo, we enter into sounds that certainly resembles the soundtrack of the films of Tarantino.
So long as we do not look enough is enough effect type 50's, and when we look a little more, there are more sounds and 70's and 60s and finally very current (including Radiohead)
