«  Yes ... But too expensive I think ... »

Published on 02/08/14 at 20:02
Well now there is a wah.

Racing foot is longer than the average wah (a good)!.

It's 100% analog good, true bypass too.

Attention mine is the version with integrated for more fit "fuzz friendly" and help boost the volume buffer.

Inside the circuit is niquel and rather clean.

A little high, not look bad, so at this level it will yeah!


AFTER AFTER HIC: On mine, the pot was really low quality, he had gone a little hard, it hurt a factory job. The pot is also dead in no time. And began to spit even clean a very annoying and pervasive. I had to change. And galley welds because of buffer.

Well I think a Wahwah 200 balls as a wah is not part of the most sophisticated effects, the pot could be good. Because right after dismantled, removed the cover, well ... This is not a pot of super quality. Or a wah with a defective buddy, this is a half wah. So good, good jalopy with an engine of shit farts in good 30,000 km, it serves little to nothing ... (Yeah metaphor sucks but universal).

So then I say thin!

UTILIZATION

Good at this level, the switch is super simple to initiate, but not too much to snap without purpose.

The playability is really optimal. It is his strong point I think.

SOUND QUALITY

Well there you should know: This is very broad: Very serious to very sharp!

So it can sound very modern, it has a rather modern trend. After testing a wah in kind vintage super serious, well the Fulltone is clearly modern, but suffers no loss of volume, it will biiiiien more acute.

So good, frankly, because I went from a Dunlop GCB-95 at Fulltone, as saying that I had a very blah to very good. I was really amazed!

So yes it has a very good sound for its versatility and wide frequency spectrum. The sound is very clean. Ideal for a wah wah studio I think.

BUT BUT BUT HIC I could see: Only remarkable live: Groooos jump in volume when using the wah wah in the clear. Big boost of volume, a really big thing and so we spring for once, too see very well in the mix. In overdrive it does not see a lot less of everything.

So when I use to live clean, I have to temper my attacks and in addition does not fall completely, because acute are still pretty sharp ... So it's pretty annoying that too ...

200 for a wah balls I repeat ... You can buy a nice amp with it almost ...

OVERALL OPINION

It's getting a little while I use (about 1 year), it has 3 years results:

- I had to change the pot, some say it is normal. Yeah but if you do not know soldering, two years after we rebalance € 200 for a wah? I do not know ...

- In clean high volume, boost volume unmanageable, acute and piercing the serious overdrive tend to melt but acute emerge much sweeter. That's a wah wah overdrive / fuzz that is some clean ... So I told you not clean with a Telecaster and a super bright amp, bright, live, you kill everyone ...

But overdrive with my Les Pauls it goes niquel, serious fade a bit anyway.

- The sound is broad and versatile. Very good quality, very "studio". It sounds good, very good nonetheless.

But hey, I still back on it, more than 200 €, it is not expected to have a sound pourrav 'or average. It is one of the most expensive wah market ...

So a super expensive wah, volume boost with live clean, sharp piercing, pot feeble low quality assembled a little hard.

Despite its sound quality does not justify its price. This remains a circuit must not be abused. It is semi-industrial, so does half hand that I understood.

And Made In USA, it is not good because it is made in the USA it is gold, have to say, handmade in the USA I do not see why it would be better than handmade elsewhere. ..


Here, therefore considering the price, I strongly advice to test, and rather hard to see with his sharp sharp!


Hi it's still good stuff anyway if we forget the price ;)!
