Members Belt Posted July 14, 2008 Members Share Posted July 14, 2008 I'm not a wah guy. I didn't like it. There are some dirt effects in it. I hated them too. There was one useful setting, but it wasn't worth me keeping... What do you want to know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Fender&EHX4ever Posted July 14, 2008 Members Share Posted July 14, 2008 I tried it for about 10 minutes in the shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members book_of_lies777 Posted July 14, 2008 Author Members Share Posted July 14, 2008 I don't care about the dirt either, I've got that covered - I like the fact that it has both wah and the univibe thing all in one, instead of buying separate pedals... but I've never tried it, and my wah is dying, so I was hoping others could offer their experiences with it...

Members EvilSoup Posted July 14, 2008 Members Share Posted July 14, 2008 That was my first pedal, and I didn't like it much. But then again, I had a {censored}ty guitar and amp back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jordanjordan Posted July 14, 2008 Members Share Posted July 14, 2008 I had one, but i only ever used it for the vox setting so i eventually got rid of it and bought a real vox wah. the biggest probelm with this pedal is that you can't turn the distortion on and off without switching between the different settings you have saved into it. i would have used this pedal a lot more if i could activate the wah and dist at the same time and turn them of again. Not a bad pedal though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ElephantTalk Posted July 14, 2008 Members Share Posted July 14, 2008 i use the res for synth stuff. the vibe is nice but not fast enough. the voice is cool with dist. in the front. sounds like a digiriedoo (sp?). i like noise. if your a tone freak, i might pass.

Members Kassanova Posted July 14, 2008 Members Share Posted July 14, 2008 Maybe I'm the only one on here that likes this pedal but I used mine fairy extensively. I used the humanizer a lot as well as the custom wah. I'll be the first to admit that there are better wahs out there and the sweep on the wah pedal feels a little low compared to others but I got more use out of this pedal than any one of my other pedals. Whenever time and space (compactness) were an issue, this was my "go-to" pedal. Its a bitch to program, though. It has a few different distortions as well as 3 patch locations for you to store sounds. Granted, its not going to replace a teese or a budda wah by any stretch, its not a bad wah at all and it has enough various functions to be a very useful pedal. Its not for everyone but I like it. Its sort of a jack-of-all-trades but master of none pedal. Here's a demo of the various distortions: Unfortunately, there aren't any good wah demos of the pedal on youtube. You've got some good choices of effects on the pedal. While its not my favorite wah, its usable and its indispensable as a humanizer pedal.Like I said, its not the best wah but its far from the worst.

While its not my favorite wah, its usable and its indispensable as a humanizer pedal.Like I said, its not the best wah but its far from the worst. You can choose a wah with no drive, right? I have the Boss OD20 Drive Zone, plus a few other pedals, so I have dirt more than covered(not to mention my amp's own tone)... I like the fact that it has BOTH wah and univibe - even if it were just those two, it would be a good deal. Unless it sounded like poo, then of course, it wouldn't matter what it cost. Since you do own it, is it worth it for these two features alone - or would you just buy a separate wah and univibe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, you don't have to have dirt. You can have just a plain wah or univibe.I bought it because it had the humanizer effect on it. For me, it was worth it for that. If you want a univibe and a wah in one pedal, its a good buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChuckNorris1982 Posted July 14, 2008 Members Share Posted July 14, 2008 I gigged with one for 3 years and always liked it, though back then I was in a metal band so the subtle nuances of a high quality wah probably would have been lost in all my high gain anyway. I never liked that humanizer effect much, but a couple of the wah models are decent, the synth is useable and the univibe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Marmoset King Posted July 14, 2008 Members Share Posted July 14, 2008 I have one and use it quite a lot. As others have said it may not be the best wah but for all the different sounds in one pedal it's a good buy.I never use the dirt on it though as i use my Fuzz Factory or Big Muff for that.

Members Mind_Riot89 Posted July 14, 2008 Members Share Posted July 14, 2008 I had one. The wah didn't sound right to me so I replaced it with a 535Q wah. I don't even remember using the other sounds on it and I wish I had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
