TBWP True Bypass Wah Pad : Great piece of kit for the gigging or sitting guitarist.

12 years ago

I purchased the G Lab TBWP True Bypass Wah Pad as I thought it would be nice to be able to dip in and out of the wah effect mid solo without the frustration of repeatedly stamping on the wah pedal trying to activate the switch. This can be particularly the case while sitting down as you cannot use your body weight as a lever. If I was gigging I would imagine it would give me more peace of mind that the effect will switch on when you really need it. I have to say it works very nicely with my Cry Baby and it really does remove any difficulty involved. It does not detract from the sound when on and as the Crybaby is not true bypass it probably preserves the dry signal much better (though my ears did not detect a great deal of change). My only gripe with this pedal is that it didn't seem to like my Ibanez WH10 wah very much as all. Firstly the leads on the wah pad were not really long enough to reach the Ibanez wah in/out (as they are situated at the top and not on the sides of the pedal) and secondly the pedal seemed to make a high pitch bell noise when ever you tried to activate it. Not too much of a disappointment as the WH10 has a decibel jump so it would not work in the way I intended to use it anyway.
