Members cryptosonic Posted August 5, 2014 Members Share Posted August 5, 2014 On the positive side this kind of commercial desperation signals a return to basics, not in terms of circuits but products and marketing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members BFDR Posted August 6, 2014 Members Share Posted August 6, 2014 Mason from Vertex is the new Ken from freakish blues. The Axis wah is BS, it is a BBE wah that was gooped and sold for 250.00 more.I will never buy anything from Vertex, What a disgrace.http://www.thegearpage.net/board/showthread.php?t=1461942 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members goodhonk Posted August 6, 2014 Members Share Posted August 6, 2014 it's a little sad but kind of fun to watch the tgp gang get swept up in these things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BFDR Posted August 7, 2014 Members Share Posted August 7, 2014 I do not see any fun in it at all, Vertex has ripped off many folks selling them a 99.00 wah for 349.00. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members IRG Posted August 15, 2014 Members Share Posted August 15, 2014 I haven't followed this very closely, was looking at something Vertex the other day. I can't imagine why anyone would spend $350 on a wah, period. In fact more and more of my pedals have become cheaper lately, not more expensive.

Members Turd Furgison Posted August 18, 2014 Members Share Posted August 18, 2014 obviously you haven't heard this wah. the way the notes bloom, the harmonics, the crystal lettuce, it is better than anything you have ever...wait it is a rehoused bbe pedal?! i knew that thing was terrible.

Members kidofthecorn Posted August 18, 2014 Members Share Posted August 18, 2014 Not even rehoused.... just changed the base plate and gooped the circuit... oohh... and add a couple of hundred$ to the price tag off course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members martha_KH Posted August 19, 2014 Members Share Posted August 19, 2014 I like these scams. It is really just a round about way for me to figure out which cheap pedals are worth buying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members BG76 Posted August 21, 2014 Members Share Posted August 21, 2014 It's the best wah I have ever heard, you just need to put it on a 3/8 piece of plywood and use a 23 1/2" coily cable on the output. It is very similar to the BBE, but once your ears are developed you will notice it is less fizzy and retains the Robin Ford chirp of a truly great rig. If you don't hear this you probably have the cable plugged in backwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
