DW400 Dynamic Wah / Humanizer

I'm using the pedal with an american jazz bass . You need to use bridge pickup more than the neck one to get good wah sound , i think it's because the wah effect needs mid frequencies to work well. There is no level knob . The up and down modes lose output volume but have good sounds . With knobs all half way . Synth and Humanizer give more output , so are more usable in my opinion . I like expecially Humanizer with vocals U-A : clear , musical and strong sound , without distortion . U-I is better for slap . One good thing : No bass-suck , E string open sounds as deep as in bypass (this is not true with many other autowah pedals on the market). But i don't like the lower output of the up and down wahs . 

The pedal is made of plastic : I don't think that this is really a problem (maybe the chair you're sitting on is made of plastic too) and remember that this is one of the reasons why you are paying half Boss-price . Electronics are all cheap and cannot justify the Boss price . Behringer are simply demonstrating which should be the proper price of an effect pedal ... i don't know if other manufacturers will do the same ... it will depend on what the musicians will buy in the next years   

Easy to use all types of autowahs (up,down,synths,humanizer) without reading any manual (even if there are quite good explanations) but only humanizer doesn't loose volume  

I sent Behringer an email once and they replied the next day

I play in a rock/R&B band , so i don't really need a Bootsy Collins sound , but i like and use this pedal anyway , expecially for solo or a few funky lines . I've been playing for ten years and found that effect are not really needed for 90% of the time that you play bass in a band (except EQ). For solo work it's different . This pedal is good to have fun with , but i don't like the inconsistent volume in different modes . Please email me if you found the same problem or better a solution to that !
