Published on 05/03/12 at 06:10Pedal wah-wah/yoy-yoy
Settings:
- 'Move hotspot' by switch 2 positions
- 'Boost' by potentiometer
- 'Wah 1/Wah 2/Yoy' by switch 3 positions
- 'Slope' by potentiometer
UTILIZATION
The manual is clear, a quick glance can quickly understand what each knob or switch, in case it is not intuitive enough, or we like, like me, read the manual to know a little the product before use.
As for the setting itself, well, it's easy: one connects, and is used in its esgourdes tinkering with all the buttons to achieve his ends. ^ ^
Only (small) complaint, if I may, and I know that sometimes can be difficult AFiens, then yes, I dare: rather than a two-position switch to adjust the hotspot, I would have preferred a trim-pot (a small knob, what), to choose the position of this famous hotspot, rather than a choice of two fixed positions.
I read a notice saying that the switch activation was (very) hard, I have not found. Sometimes I certainly do not manage to snap or cut the pedal as I want, but I think it's more a question of hand (er. .. kick!) Than anything thing.
Moreover, it is probably because, in my case, I actually used to trigger automatic wahs ...
Oh, also, but it's something to know in advance: the switch mode generates a little 'plop' in the signal when you change the mode wah activated. But it is enough to switch wah off to avoid the problem. Even if we must switcher as the song progresses, the pedal will be a priori when we will cut the manip '(or so congratulations to him who the flexibility to change the mode while continuing to play, foot on the pedal!) .
SOUND QUALITY
Well, now ... bah I was looking for the ideal wah, I think if I have not found, I am certainly not far.
- The hotspot selects the tipping point of its relation to the pedal travel: it's definitely a slap in the competition. Modulation is obtained much more relevant and manageable.
- The boost increases the output level of the pedal, wah activated. For those who fear not out of the mix in his clear, too cool. For those who want to grow the distortion when the pedal is placed early in the chain, too cool, too.
- Wah modes 1 and 2 have very relevant differences depending on whether one has a clean sound or distortion: wah mode 1 is slightly more flashy, wah mode 2 is more 'soft' at the top of the race, history of not to burst the ears.
Yoy mode is fun, and it will be appreciated by all who have the utility.
- The slope to adjust the frequency response with respect to the pedal stroke. Already seen, certainly, but necessary, and this setting here provides exactly what is asked.
OVERALL OPINION
I have this pedal for a week and two ERfKE, and I already know she will stay in my set of choice.
There's more to learn to manage the effect (neither too much nor too little), and his game when it is used (maybe it'll make you laugh aficionados, but those who have not used to use a wah, and in my case, will need some time to manage the position of his guitar to not be bothered by the movement and the elevation of the leg, to manage the relevance shots wah compared to what we play, etc ...).
Anyway, this is clearly not the most data, it is certainly less than a typical vintage wah more, but it's much more manageable, relevant settings, etc. ...
We will they do their own sake, T.Rex, a version with automatic ...?
