G-Lab TBWP True Bypass Wah-Pad

It is innovations for which we wonder "why nobody has found before?" This is the case for Wah pad.

The idea is simple, the pedal wah, indeed indispensable, is sometimes quite delicately snap / dsenclencher due to the positioning of the switch under the pedal and at the end of the race. Similarly, difficult to use the effect on a passage of a few seconds and impossible to engage / dsenclencher outside the low position. To remedy this, simply ask a wah wah on the classic pad. The pad is actually a weight sensor: it begins when we set foot on it and vice versa.
The pad is True Bypass, which means that when the effect is suddenly the signal bypasses the wah (which it is permanently active). When the effect is activated the signal passes through the wah.
So the pad has an input / output jack for classical instrument that integrates it into the effects chain, an input / output pad connecting the wah, a plug for the pad and m me a plug for the pad through the wah!
An LED informs us of the activation / inactivation of the effect.

G Lab is known for offering products that are well constructed. This is the case here with this pad robust and well finished. Although one might sr prfrer use its own jacks to connect the pad wah intgrs because they are not optimal but good quality is not very important given the length of cable ...

The pad is sensitive and specific on: no latency for switching / stopping the effect. Needless also to crush the pad, the foot is placed and it's good. The efficiency is terrible.
But why not have invented this accessory before? It changes A veritable life (well a musician ...)!

Note some small default:
- The power cable is located dstin the wah pedal left, which is not always the case on the pedals (for example, it is right on my Dunlop Dimebag Darrell ). Too bad, then one must dpatouiller with an extension or an external power supply.
- The wah is lit constantly, so it is better to avoid a battery power supply that unload very quickly. Sr not all vintage wah have an external power supply? It must then tinker his wah ...
- The pad can acueille all wahs: Dunlop for a format for example, no prolme. on the other hand for my Fender Fuzz / Wah, it's too big! Too bad!
- Impossible to keep the effect initiated without keeping your foot on it. For a song like "Money for Nothing" by Dire Straits with wah engages in a fixed position, it will therefore remain permanently on the foot pad. This is its principle of operation! But an additional switch for a permanent engagement disable the pad (like on the Fender Fuzz / wah) would t very apprciable more.

For the more adventurous, the pad can accommodate anything other than a wah: it can be used as an effects loop which Independent Appraisal and setting off immediately and can be short. The possibilities are numerous ... the wah effect couple of more complex rhythmic experimenter.

The intrt of True Bypass is to remove the wah in the chain of signal when you want to disable the effect. This is intressant with that same vintage wahs dsenclenches colored the sound by removing the treble. On the other side it is also part of the vintage sound you ask me! It's true! But even when it is!
Once started this accessory, it does not color the sound at all.
More activation / disable is done without delay and without noise.

With a simple dj wah is good but just imagine with other effects in the loop: it is then possible to activate any fawn effect immediately and perfectly contrl e, even on a very short time. Try a rhythmic jerk with a whammy, stamping his foot on the pad!

Here is a simple but effective product that provides an adaptable A veritable innovation (almost) all wahs. What can I say? It gnial!
Although some sr default are correct as food left or absence of a permanent switch interlocking ...
But this does not come gcher fun. Once you adopt one wonders how one could do without.
It should equip all wahs of this system (like Woowee Wah ... G Lab).

Is the price: around 130 euros! No data! But not regret this purchase!

In addition to the more adventurous you can plug any effect in this loop and express new sounds jerky and fast! Pad for more than a wah is a re-discovery of the possibilities of effects that is possible!
