Members aliensporebomb Posted September 9, 2009 Members Share Posted September 9, 2009 http://www.geocities.jp/dancingmoga/whatmidi/wp_oc.html The WP20 and the OC20. Not sure if these ever showed up stateside but I'd love 13-pin FX for my GK3 equipped guitar! Has anyone ever seen these here? They have english control panels so it would appear they may have shown upat some point, not sure if when these were produced or if they are new.

Members elantric Posted September 9, 2009 Members Share Posted September 9, 2009 The WP20 and the OC20.Not sure if these ever showed up stateside but I'd love 13-pin FX for my GK3 equipped guitar! Yes - these were shipping here in the USA circa 2001-2002 era They bombed - mostly due to to high price ( +$250 /ea) and the limited GK13 User market Check Ebay - they are traded there regularly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members baranger1 Posted September 9, 2009 Members Share Posted September 9, 2009 I had the wave unit for 2 hours. Terrible. Sent it back. There on Ebay all the time for $125 new Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Prontius Posted September 23, 2009 Members Share Posted September 23, 2009 Two hours! Yow! "The vote of disapproval holds." They weren't good, a great idea in a not so great product for an even worse price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members aliensporebomb Posted September 23, 2009 Author Members Share Posted September 23, 2009 Sounds like the octave divider was spiffy but the other one was not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gtrbass Posted September 24, 2009 Members Share Posted September 24, 2009 I have both of them. I bought them from Sam Ash on closeout for 50% off. They have their uses. The WP20 has couple of good sounds and some useless sounds. The Saw lead & Square wave sounds are cool, The Slow Gear and Ring Mod are ok at best. The Sitar is goofy but I found it useful for a track once, and the acoustic guitar is crap. It reminds me of the ancient GR 300 in some ways. If you blend it with other effects, you can get into some unique sounds. The OC 20 is very cool. The cool part about them is that they track very well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members akapuli Posted September 25, 2009 Members Share Posted September 25, 2009 I have both too, they sound ...well... Japanese. I like them, will use them sparingly for my electronic project. They sound just as good as the multi pedal chains aiming for reproducing similar sounds, IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members lwclaypool Posted January 10, 2010 Members Share Posted January 10, 2010 Re: WP20, I really like the Saw Lead & Square Wave settings but don't really use the other settings. The Saw and Square are imminently mangle-able with effects and plug-ins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members paulz Posted January 11, 2010 Members Share Posted January 11, 2010 had em both myself [uSA]FWIW sold em a long time ago - I think the above reviews are pretty much par.I really liked the idea, but I don't think they really came together all that well.The OC-20G was, ultimately more useful. tho I actually found the poly slow gear to be the most useful part of the WP-20G (if you fingerpick). The square and saw waves were usable, but very dry on their own but given the price of a used VG-8, I just don't think they offer much value now (if they did back then) too bad, if they made sort of a GR-300 ish type deal (part of the WP-20 with a dynamic filter section maybe the octave or a couple of other features) I think they would have had nice little goer for those guys who are used to that simple "guitar synth" style from the 24-pin dayz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
