«  Super wah wah! »

Published on 12/06/13 at 13:07
Glab offers a wah-wah pedal that is for me one of the best thought:
- Started by simple contact pad or classic mode
- Analog pedal
- True bypass
- Optical Technology
- Sound tuning via 4 small switches (low bass Q factor, deep and volume).

UTILIZATION

The use is very simple compared to a more "classic" pedal was the possibility of modulating the sound (see below).
Triggering via the contact pad has for me revolutionized the use of the wah-wah: it is simple and super efficient (I had so many problems trigger switches see switches that become HS and must be replaced with wah_wah "classic").
Both allow more small LED to indicate whether the effect is enabled or not, which is super convenient.
Finally switch mode (typical use) you activate the effect by pushing the pedal, thereby letting in a fixed position for use as a filter.
The only button that has no use to me is the on / off switch to off because there is no sound (even off effect) and I always disconnect the pedal when I finished playing.

SOUND QUALITY

The different settings of switches not allow a lot of sound variations, which makes finding sounds suitable for different configuration games (clear sound, rhythm, solo). The volume switch (+ 3dB) is super useful for a solo with distortion for example.
We must recognize that the sounds are still modern and some may find them cold or not having the grain of a vintage pedal. In my case, it suits me perfectly (although I admit that in the long I almost always use the same setting).
Finally, the true bypass is for me an essential element.

OVERALL OPINION

Frankly, I do not understand why this pedal is not more widespread ...
I bought it by mail after reading the reviews more than positive and I was not disappointed.
This is a wah-wah practical, efficient, robust and versatile. No more problems latching effect (movement of the pedal in a vacuum because the effect has not been activated, an effect that remains on because the switch does not work well, switch to change ... ).
It has no default for me but some may accuse him of not having the particular grain of some vintage pedals.
