Dunlop GCB-95

easy to use.... but sometimes its just hard to turn on and off. No need for manual this is so easy to use,

I use a Korg A5 and GCB 95. Its not really noisy though. Sometimes is sounds weak on heel down, but i think its on the battery.We only rent studio and I use a Marshall w/ 10" speaker, sound good by usign it. It can immitate sounds of Kirk Hammett, Joe Satriani

The battery cover is not that tough, mine is now broke, but thats fine though, its not that important. But I think this is tough

I play Blues and Rock, this is a good match for me.I been playing for 9 years. If this were stolen or lost, ill buy another, but i want to try Morley or Vox.I love the tone of this thing.

Its a wah-wah pedal people. It cant be that hard. The way u have to press on the toe to get it to switch on/off is just a matter of working it in and getting used to it. If you press hard on the front atleast you will know if its on or off.

Mine is a little bit older but that just made to sound quality more vintage and nicer. I can get the amazing hendrix sound.I play a lot of Stevie Ray too and all u need is to use the neck pickup and a tubescreamer with the wah and your on your way. The pedal has the hendrix sound in it. Its better than i even thought it would be. MY set up for now is: Cort Mirage 500>crybaby gcb-95>danelectro flanger>ts7 tubescreamer(for lead boost)>fender deluxe 90(use amp channel drive for normal distortion)

This thing is built like a fucking tank. I would certainly use this without a backup all you need with it is a power supply.

Never dealt with them.

I play tons of blues and probly one of the best 14 year old players around. I play tons of hendrix, allman brothers, clapton, and stevie ray vaughan. Even though im only 14 i've been playing for 5 years and play with top notch local players that give me advice so im pretty wise with this stuff. This is a great pedal. Dont go buying morleys, there is no wah sound in them and the way the rock back and forth is bad, it moves too easliy. If your playing stevie ray, clapton, or hendrix use a dunlop. Try the older ones if u can find one. They are the best.

Easy as hell. plug it in push the toe down and go. If its new it make take awhile to break in the on/off switch but it will happen.

good really good. I play old 70's, 80's heavy metal/rock and this thing just sings for solos or funk rythm parts. I play hendrix and this thing is great. You kinda have to use it after your dist or the range is kind of shallow but after dist this sucker gives sweeping highs and lows.
The only problem is if the battery is low the pedal becomes weaker and weaker and its weak for a long time, so you dont really notice but it gradually starts to sound really bad, thank god for adapters.

built like a tank

very good for the right music. A must for any hendrix or clapton fan this thing is just great, if it broke i would most defenitaly buy a new one, or maybe try the vox wah.

It's a wah pedal - just move it with your foot...
no bullshit or frequency knobs
but the on/of swtich is f#@%ing horor
you have to stand up if you want it to go on or off propertly

I'm using it with a fender strat deluxe to various amps
sounds great, of course it's noisy when it's all the way up
but not critical if you play along...
it's very versatile - you can play with it every thing.

This pedal is as strong as tank
I actually used it while standing on it.
the battery life is unbeleiveble - 4 months it lasts!
but the battry cover had broken easly and you have to replace the whole bottom plate to get it fixed. :( bummer

Never dealt with dunlop

I play Vai, satriani, hendrix, dream theater, guns n' roses and pink floyd.
great choice! It's perfectly fit in.
If was stolen I would buy it again for sure.
Dont need any backup - it will still work even if the battery is empty. so if it's runs out at the middle of a song just turn the wah off and replace the battry before the next one begins.

I gave this peddle an 8 for ease of use as it has one off on switch and the peddle. I did not give it a 10 because i feel it is not as easy to use as some morley switchless peddles. There is a basic set up guide included but is not really needed.

I use an LP > ts7(Overdrive) > Crybaby wah > MT2(distortion)> 50 watt soid state combo.

The wah sounds great. It copes well with everything from clean to hammett style wah quite simply. I liked the sweep on this a lot. I play slightly more metal hendrix covers and metallica(nothing off st anger) and the only fault i find is the slight decrease in volume. I have solved this by including the ts7 as a boost when im using the pedal to play lead. I have given this an eight but it was a hard thing to rate as it comes down to a matter of taste.

Very sturdy unit but for gigging i would check the pot has no signs of ware and also make sure that you are used to the switch as especially when new it has a tendancy to be a little tough.

For the metal and rock style i mostly play it is a very usable pedal but i find it comes into a league of its own when playing stuff like gnr. Long slash style bends are dealt with easily and boosted by the great mid this pedal posses. For the price there is no competition and it is much better than vox wahs and morley wahs that cost #100+. The best way to decide if this pedal is right for you is to go to your local dealer and have a go.

This is the eisiest to use. There was no maual but u dont need one

I love the sound of this wah, im sick of people complaining about it. It always sounds great in front of my Ds-1 its blistering, hands down. I had this for a while and tryed my freinds Hendrix Wah, and i thought it sounded better, all i did was adjust the sweep and it reduced the ear bleed inducing toe down and made the wah work better on the low strings.

Built like a tank. I hear it made of wrought iron. except i think the switch is the weak point. I payed $39,00 american for this, can you say "DEAL".

Never tryed them so ill say seven.

Kicks ass.

turn it on, rock the pedal, have fun

Sounds good in most situations. I have tried the high priced whas by Budda, Teese, etc and they also have their pros and cons. When you look at the prices the Dunlop is a good deal.

Here's the problem. Bought a new one only to hav ethe switch jam on me during the first rehearsal I used it. The dealer was kind enough to simply give me another new pedal. This second pedal has a defective input jack.(you shouldn't have to push the cable into the jack with all your might)

The dealerwasn't too anxious to have to deal with Dunlop to try to repair my first defective wah pedal so that must mean something.

I have played some Dunlop wahs that were fine sounding pedals and seemed to be pretty solid. The two I have recently been stuck with have soured my opinion.

Quite easy actually! You stomp on the Wah and you use the pedal back and forth for that classic sound!

Mine was an old version of the GCB-95 (bought 5 years ago)! So, of course, the pot was dead one year after and the sound wasn't really good... So, this year (yeah I know, I'm not really fast), I decided to change it radically...

I put the new Fasel inductor (still from Dunlop), switch a couple of resistors here and there, I also put a new Fulltone long life pot and finally, the wah is now true bypass... I also removed the input buffer... A lot of things but it now sounds a lot more better and natural than the previous version of it!

So, the sound is a lot more rounder and warmer, but the best thing is that it's a lot more clear! The notes get through better... And you don't have that harshness found in the old version...

I took a chance with the new Fasel Inductor since it is new (a couple of weeks old) and I wasn't sure between this one and the Fulltone one... The latter being more expensive... I cannot make any statement about Fulltone, but the "new" Red Fasel from Dunlop sounds good... There is also a Yellow one who is supposed to be a little more "vintage" about the sound..

I think that with the new pot and the Carling DPDT, it's much more reliable... But outside of the old pot, the Dunlop case and everything were quite reliable... I never had a problem with it...

Never spoke with them...

I use it with a strat and Fender amp and a couple of effects...

Very nice with the mods on it... Far more better and probably more reliable in the long run than the old version...

Is it easy to use? Let me put it this way: Is Avril Lavigne a crappy manufactured pop idol who has been handed a guitar?(The answer to my debatable sarcasm is a big, screaming YES!)
Couldn't be easier if they tried! Step on the switch on the toe to engage, step back on it to bypass.

My setup isn't really that complex:
Ibanez SA160>Boss Ds-1 distorion>GCB-95 Crybaby>Boss BF-3 flanger>Marshall VS2000 AVT 20.
This thing sounds kick ass! Using a gentle sweep on the flanger and the neck single coil on the Ibanez, I can get a really cool funky kinda "chicka chicka" type sound going. Crank the distorion and using the bridge humbucker, the shit hits the fan. The pedal has that Steve Vai high frequency we've all come to love, or the classic hendrix "voodoo chile" style ballsy grunt. There is a little hum on the single coils, but that comes with the territory really. These things happen; anyone who moans about pedals being noisy is a fool! All analog pedals create at least some noise, so stop bitching about your equipment being the problem. If you can't make it sound the way you want, it's your fault, not the pedal's.

I'd gig with this in a heartbeat. The top is made of cast iron if I'm not mistaken, so it sholud last the distance. The guy I bought had had it for ages before I took it off his hands and said it never acted up.I believe him too! It's built like a Shermen tank for fuck sake!

Don't know-I shouldn't have to deal with them.

I play a little of everything from Foo Fighters to Funk to Jazz to Blues to metal. There is little this pedal can't tackle. If it were stolen I'd use the insurance money to buy another. I love its stability- it definetly fells like there's something there when you turn it on. This pedal is nothing short of ace. Check it out!

You step on it and it ativates, then you use the pedal to make a wah sound. There's not much to this pedal, however, you have to step on it quite hard to activate it, making sitting down and playing rather difficult (but not impossible)... So is why I'm giving it an 8.

I play a Yamaha guitar (with and active pickup system) into this wah, then a Boss DS-1 distortion pedal, then a Boss GE-7 Equalizor, and I love the sound. Some other reviews say that this is kind of a noisy pedal, but I find it quiets my whole effects set up (not that there's much there right now). Near the high end there's a bit of noise I've noticed, but you can't hear it unless you stop playing and push the pedal all the way down, so it doesn't bother me when I play. The set-up I've got now allows me to have a Metallica-ish style distortion, so when I was looking for a Wah pedal, I was looking for a Kirk Hammet lead sound, and when I first tried this out, I had immediately found what I was looking for. I love this pedal, it give's a great sound, and I don't find it's too noisy. If you want a cool wah pedal, buy this one!

I was amazed at how small it actually was when I received it in the mail; especially since the package was a little on the heavier side of things. Not that it's a load to lug around with you, but you can feel the weight. It's solid metal! I don't think it can be destroyed by any conventional means.

Though I can't really say if you wanna play Hendrix-like stuff then this is the pedal for you, but I can say that this pedal is great for metal. It gives a great sound, not too much bass yet, not too much trebel as to make you ears hurt on high volumes. It's a great pedal, and can take one helluva beating. I've owned a few auto-wah's in the past, but this wah kicks all their asses. I reccomend buying it.

It's a wah...You step forward and rock your foot. There is a manual and it's short but you don't need it any bigger. It does requier practise to get a good sound out of it.

Barracuda Les Paul---->Crybaby---->Peavey Rage 158
It can get a little noisy when you put the toe down but it's not that bad. This is an ideal effect for getting the famous kirk hammett or dimebag darrell sound.

It's a tank!!

I play a lot of oldschool metaland its a dream come trie for me. I've been playing for about 2 years. When i was shopping for a wah i was pretty much focused on buying a Dunlop. What else can i say, there is nothing better for the money.

I get exactly what I want from this. Though not as radical as their Q models, still very effective. It's a bit hard to turn on at first, but easy once you use it a few times.

I use this on both my bass and guitar rigs. Because I wanted a better wah sound than my multiFX could give me, this entered the picture. It is noisy when it's on, but that adds to the vibe when I use it. At higher gain modes (e.g., metal), the wah sound is a bit less pronounced, but still usable, and makes leads sound and feel SEXY and NASTY! (Especially when used as a notch filter.)

No problem getting the classic clean and overdrive stuff with this. I hook the wah before the overdrive that I use as a boost. Here are some setups I use:

Blues/Rock:
guitar > Dunlop wah > Ibanez TS7 Tubescreamer > (optional) Ibanez DS7 Distortion > guitar amp input of Fender Deluxe 85 > DOD GS30 in FX loop

Metal:
guitar > Dunlop wah > Ibanez TS7 Tubescreamer > either a BOSS MT-2 Metal Zone, or a Hyper Metal HM-3 > guitar amp input > DOD GS30 in FX loop

Bass:
bass > Dunlop wah > (optional) TS7 > (optional) HM-3 > DigiTech BP200 (used for amp modeling, FX and volume control) > Low Gain input on Peavey TNT 115

The wah interacts well with most of the GS30's effects, except for maybe the ring modulator and the pixellator. The extra bit of bass I get from using the BP200's amp models improves the wah's sound.

Very dependable! This thing's built out of cast iron (I think). Should last me until I'm in the rocking chair, perhaps beyond, if maintained and used well.

No backups necessary, except for fresh batteries.

Like I've said before, go local first.

I play rock, metal, and dance tunes mostly. If some fool steals this from me, and throws it down an erupting volcano, I'd have the guy arrested, and demand that he pay me for a new one, plus taxes and shipping! No way, punk!

As soon as I got used to the switch, all was cool. Helps me make some sexy music. I think the wah's the sexiest effect ever made, man. Just listen to all the classic Hendrix/disco/blues/raunchy rock tunes that have good wah stuff with your significant other with the lights down, and you'll feel it, baby!

Look, if you can't use a wah wah pedal, maybe you should go be a gong farmer or something. Does take time to get the hang of though.

Ok, so it is quite noisy when you put it into the high treble part. It works better clean, I think anyway. It does have a very nice wah sound, though, and I much prefer it to the Vox, although it is really a matter of taste.

Look, its a wah pedal. Cant really do much to it.

Haven't had it long enough. Not a huge fan of customer support in general, just go to my local guitar shop.

I play rocky stuff like metallica annd red hot chilis. It is briliant in my opinion, although far from perfect. It could do with a wider range of tone, although it does beat the vox in that department. I hate the stupid fact that the on/off switch is so damn tough. Other than that, it is definately the best pedal for the price.

how hard can it be push on the toe and presto u got exeleent tone.
And an upside to the pedal is it can be easily modified

i use a charvel cx 291 into this wah then into a zoom gfx 707 then into a peavey delta blues 210. This pedal isnt that noisy it does raise the level a bit. The effect is a little weak in the bass end to muddy. U can get the sound of many favorite artists such as hendrix and clapton. This effect works really well with fuzz and chorus and alright with distortion except the effects comes a litle weaker. This Pedal has an overall great sound

i would use it in a gig

never dealt with them

this pedal is almost perfect

This is a classic wah pedal.Its a pain in the ass to use.i wish it had a grip on it,i think i heard that morley wah's have grip on it.whats hard to use about this thing is that if you spill some kind of liquid like soda or beer on it your feet will slip off the pedal.also when i first bought this i thought it was broken because it was turned off and i didnt know that you had to press really really hard on the end to turn it on until my friend did it.but its not impossible to use though.i just think a morley bad horsie would be better.i havent made any upgrades on this.

This pedal is too noisy.I use this with my ibanez rg7420 and my marshall avt20.I put the amp in overdrive and you can hear this pedal while its off,which is bad.i think i would need somekind of noise gate pedal if i ever wanted to use this live.The wah is pretty good,hey its a classic wah pedal made by dunlop what do you expect.I havent tried any other wah pedals so i cant compare it to any other ones.I just bought this pedal cuz i thought the wah was cool and its cool how you can control it by rocking it back and forth,unlike boss/ibanez/dod pedals!but the loudness of this pedal definetly is a weakness.

I can probebly depend on this.its pretty solid.i dont even use it that often and if i made my own music i might use it if i dont get a morley wah.but i can rely on this.

i have never needed support and never upgraded before.

I play music from metallica,nirvana,van halen,etc....its a good match.Ive been playing for 2 years,this was the first pedal i ever bought.I also own an ibanez rg7420,marshall avt20 and some other pedals.If it were lost......id buy a morley bad horsie 2 for sure if i wanted another wah pedal.I think the wah is good.i hate how noisy this pedal is and thats its hard to use.my favorite feature...that its a classic wah pedal.when i bought this,i also some ibanez tonlok pedal and liked this more.i would rather have a morley bad horsie 2,but wah isnt my favorite thing so i guess this pedal is ok.Helps me make music in some ways,you can make some nice stuff with this.what gets in the way is the loudness and how hard it is to turn it off!overall i give it a.........i would give it a 7.5 but its not there..so how about a 7.

It can be difficult switching the CryBaby on and off. It is nearly impossible when you play sitting down. You need to step hard on the front of the pedal to trigger the switch.
For my taste the pedal could have a little more resistance, it moves quite easily.

Allright it has the pure wahwah vintage sound!
But it's very noisy when switched on.

I do not abuse my equipment but it looks very very sturdy.

For anybody looking into the original Wah sound, this is the pedal.
It is noisy and not very easy to use, though.

plug and play. no comment.

kay, my setup is a dillion dse-533 deluxe into led modded ds1->CRYBABY->dano chorus->dano trem->holy grail reverb->arion stage tuner->fender silverface champ->sm57->presonus blue tube->p.a. or other reinforcement. if youre wondering why i have it after the ds1, its because it sounds awful with distortion in any place, so i put it where it looked best on my board, since i cant use it at the same time with anything. alone it is okay for rhythm work, but for soloing the upper midrange is hideous, very warbly, not vocal sounding, just painful really. sounds worse the louder it gets too. has a volume drop to it. it sounds wonderful for rhythm work, but anything else...no.

ive had it for two years, and the only problem ive had is having to reattach the felt piece that presses the switch. i had to clean out the pot on it also. no big problems despite many attempts to blow it up. solid!

havent needed them.

i got this when i first switched from folk to electric music. i figured, i want a wah, ill get a crybaby. like nearly every electric player, i am a huge hendrix fan. the thing is, i can cop some jimi, but i am NOT him, nor am i clapton, or any of those other guys. how do they make these sound good? by being totally assured and kick ass players. im just not that good yet, nor i suspect are most who buy this pedal, judging from reviews as well as seeing folks use them. im going to look into either selling this and getting a budda wah or a 535q maybe, or possibly making a project out of this one with new parts. im not horrified by it, it does okay for rhythm, but is too bitchy about its treble range for my playing. i got it because i didnt know any better basically. also, because i didnt realize that VOX actually made hendrix's pedal. oh well, live and learn.

stolen or lost? i dont think id lose it. stolen, im insured, bring it on.

bottom line, try it, try others, read reviews, know what youre getting.

If you cant use this, please don't attempt eating with a fork. After five minutes, I was happier with my guitar playing than I had been in years.

I, like most, got this pedal specifically to get that famous Hendrix (Guitar God #1) sound...and I got just what I wanted. It sounds great...period.

Only complaint is if I ever dropped it, it'd probably break my foot. Its definitely a tank...Cast Iron...what more do you have to say?

HOpe I never find out.

I've been playing sometimes professionally, but mostly for my own enjoyment since 1981 and I never bought a wah. I play a little of everything from Classic Rock to funk to Metal to classical. I Walked into my local Guitar Center last week and asked for one, and lucky day, someone had just returned one. It was "new", and only cost me $50, which is apparently a steal. Fact is, I, like most, got this pedal specifically to get that famous Hendrix (Guitar God #1) sound...and I got just what I wanted. This is also perfect for SRV, Eric Johnson, some Vai, anything from the 60's 70's. Nothing quite like that chuka-chuka funky shuffle shit...love it! Voodoo Chile BEGS to be played on this pedal. It sounds great...period. Unlike some above, I had no problem recreating the sounds I wanted, in fact, I was astounded at how easy it was to use. I'm more excited to play guitar than I have been in ten years...my only gripe is with myself...why didn't I get one of these earlier? DOH!

I've been playing Crybaby's for years and have found them to be a great means of expression. Having said that, getting a great sound isn't easy at first. It's taken me awhile to find those sweet pots and to make the connection between the sound in my head and those spots so that it becomes intuitive. Easy no. Worth the work Yes.

I play an Gibson SG Standardard-->Compressor-->Dist--> Super Reverb.
Be advised that, though I love this pedal, I wish it didn't suck tone as much as it does. So given that, and the fact that it is very noisy when coupled with distortion, but that that chuka-chuka sound still gives me chills, I give it a 6 for sound quality.

Built to take punishment. The only thing that needs servicing, and which I take care of every six months or so is the switch. But that's common knowledge with these pedals.

Haven't had the need.

Over the years I have owned several wah's - Dunlops, Fulltone Clyde's, Morley's, Boss V-Wah, etc... I have to say, for me anyway, the only pedal that creates that vintage 70's Waka-Waka scratch sound is the Dunlop. For Funk players looking for that vintage "Scratch" sound this is the pedal. For gain mongers I would suggest the Clyde or a Morley. Again, this is just my opinion.

Jus Lug it In, and it works, the switch to turn it on is a little hard u kinda have to stomp but its okay

WIth an Ibanez Gax370 and a 10 yr old amp, its good.....but there is less and more of everytthing, too much trebble tooo little bass wah, thats kinda annoying and the middle is hard to find......it kinda fuzzes on the trebble, and it kills a little volume

This is really dependable no prob

N/A

Its great for Jimi Hendrix ,Clapton, Ratm, And some blues, but funk is kinda hard......... i wish ther was more wah in the bass and less trebble, other than that i really love it..........i can play Metallica in a breeze, and Voodoo Chile(or child wtf dunno) sounds pretty like it

uhh it has no controls haha how can it be any easier?

for a 200 buck wah it's pretty good. great to start off with, coz there are no controls, you just stamp on it and it goes wah. but once you start getting a little better at guitar and you start noticing the little things, you begin to realise what the true capabilities of this wah are. i've had this wah pedal since i started playing about 3 years ago, and i've become a real fan of the dunlop wah sound. i don't really like the sound of vox or budda wahs, but i guess that using this wah for so long has been a major factor in that

the things i don't like much about this wah are that it has a lot of volume loss when it's in the heal down position, and way too much volume when it's in the toe down position. i've been told that it could be the order of the chain, but having this before distortion sucks the wah sound out of it. it sounds shitloads better after distortion effects. also, using heaps of gain can limit the wah sound, but if you need to use that much gain you obviously don't have a very sensitive ear for sound haha

the other thing is that the wah sound is very dramatic. almost ear piercing if you use it to forcefully in the toe down position. i'm going to have to try the 535Q, and tweak all the knobs

i'm using this pedal after a Zoom Tri-metal, and before a boss noise suppressor, and into a Marshall JCM900 Master Volume. my sound is almost there....would be better if i had enough money to buy a mesa markIV and some emg's, but what i've got now is awesome on it's own so i'll have to deal with it :(

this thing is a brick haha. you can't break it. well you could...but what kind of idiot buys something for 200 bucks and then breaks it intentionally? as far as effects go, this is up with the best of them as far as reliability goes

if only this thing had some controls for me to play with! but as a wah to start your guitaring with, this thing is the greatest. it's cheap, and it sounds pretty good, and you can't break it, nothing else you can ask for in a $200 wah pedal. but my beginnings as a guitarist are over, and it's time to move up the ladder

If you can turn on your computer, you can use this pedal.

Well, my setup is a Washburn WR150 (guitar) and a Marshall Valvestae 40V (amp). It sounds like classic hendrix and clapton when i dont uuse any distortion and when I use me Boss HM-2 heavy meatal pedal, It's nuts! The sound is great and u better beleive it sounds like Kirk Hammett or Zakk Wylde (ZW is better!,lol)

i just bought mine but it seems to be built pretty good. It can support my weight, so it has to be kinda strong.

Never had too.

I dont know, maybe it's because I am easily satisfied, but i think this is a great pedal. It's gret for the price and for the sound quality.

Simplest pedal i have ever seen, click the toe to turn it on, heel back for bass, toe forward for treble, click the toe to turn it off again. Simple. Although there isn't really a need for a manual, the one it comes with explains it's simplicity. So easy to use.

My current setup is: Samick Fat Strat copy > GCB-95 > Boss DS-1 > Peavey solid state. (I know that's a pretty weak set-up, but I'm working on it). I originally had the wah after distortion, but after some experimenting, i have discovered it is more effective first. It has a nice sound, but it's a bit noisy. When the pedal is off there's a bit of noise but not too much.

This thing is built to last. I would gig with this pedal without a backup any time. My friend has the same one and it's survived trips down the stairs into his cement floor in his basement, and there isn't as much as a scratch. My experiences are much the same.

Never needed to call them

I play mostly alt. rock and a bit of grundge, and this pedal fits pretty well. I've been playing guitar for about 3 years, and just now I'm really starting to get a good set-up going and I guarentee this will be the main wah pedal. I love the simplicity of this pedal and the fact it will probably last as long as any boss pedal out there. If this pedal were lost or stolen, I would probably replace it. I don't care what everyone else says, this pedal rocks!

It's a wah, that's how easy it is to use. You push your foot back and forth to change the treble and the wah effect. To turn onn and off you simply apply an increased amount of pressure to the front.

In short, this wah just sound. Like many other people, i bought it simply because of the initial feel of using a wah pedal to add theat classic sound. However, when I finally got this home i realised it wasn't such a great choice. The main problem with this pedal is that the effect is incredibly uneven. What I mean, is that the sound is extremely slow in changing up untill your foot reaches the middle where the trebble is suddenly increased giving you a sudden changing sound rather than a smooth wah. The second thing which is wrong with this pedal is the amount which it changes the tone on my amp. As there is no bypass in the off position, even when you're not using the pedal, you find that your distortion is cut and your tone weakened noticably. And thirdly,. just to finish it off, it'ss one hell of a noisy pedal

Ok, I'll give it that, i's pretty danm reliable.

N/A

Without any distortion at all, this pedal aint all that bad if you can excuse the noise. However, add even a slight bit of distortion and it just sounds awful. If you want a wah pedal and this is the only one you can afford, then just keep saving for that Morley or Vox. And don't be fooled by the name. It may be the original but it definitely aint the best.

I think we all know how to use one of this, don't we?
Now, getting a decent lead solo out of this thing is just impossible.
Good for stupid and boring chuka- chaka rythm.
I don't know about the manual because it's not mine, a friend of mine lets me use it, and I've played it for three or four months.

This thing blows, no joke. SO hard to make leads stand out with the wah on. No expression at all, the only time you can actually hear say it wah is when sweeping all the way from bass to treble so there's no way to articulate a damn solo. It pisses me off.
Maybe I am using the wrong kind of amp (solid state amp) and this sounds awesome through a Marshall or a Mesa, but If you are playing a solid state amp this wah pedal is gonna suck.
It goes from bass to treble and there's nothing in between, I think that's the main problem with it, no midrange whatsoever.Also the transition from bass to treble is not smooth at all. I just can't make it scream, not even when I turn the mids all the way up on my amp, and I'm playing DiMarzio humbuckers.
NO. I cannot make the sound of my favorite artists (Satriani, Vai, Hammett) because their wah wah pedals don't suck and this one does.
If you play lead and want to make yor solos scream and cut through the mix, then forget this one.

I don't know but I couldn't care less, actually I don't give a shit if it's reliable. Yeah, it's that bad.
Are you crazy? I would never take this to a gig unless I started playing that worthless reagge shit and I think that's never gonna happen.

I'll try some other crybabys because this one was awful.
