Best Fulltone Clyde Wah Deluxe Alternatives

First I need to tell that before this one, I bought Dunlop CBM95 CryBaby Mini Wah with intention to use it both on my guitar and bass. That was a bad decision. It worked great on a guitar, but on a bass it was terrible. It cutted all the bass, it was unusable. Now, with the white one, all the bass is here :) plus I do not need to turn it on and off. It's always turned on, You just activate it by moving Your leg. That is brilliant solution. Can't remember when I was more satisfied with a pedal. And for a guitar...well, I do not care anymore :) Updates: After a mount of playing, I'm very satisfied. Only little objection is on a annoying squealing sound of a plastic while pressing the pedal.

Generally, this pedal effect has everything I expected. I use it daily when playing the guitar. As a fan of Kirk Hammett I am completely satisfied with the sound which this effect provides. The effect range is very vast. I got me closer to the sound of Kirk Hammett's solos when playing Metallica songs, although it sounds great also with music by different bands (for instance Black Sabbath or Led Zeppelin). Another big advantage is full metal body, so you do not need to worry about the durability of the pedal. On the other hand, in comparison with Dunlop Crybaby CB-535Q, this model lacks boost and Q control. But since this is a signature model, I do not consider it as a major disadvantage. To sum it up, I really recommend this wah wah pedal.

I've been using Dunlop - Kirk Hammett Wah since years on stage and in studio. It's a kick ass pedal and good rivalry to compare with. So comparing to it, John Petrucci Wah has much wider sweep with focus on the lower end. In reality it goes so deep that almost kills guitar signal, making it very muffled and non audible. It's cool but you need to know how to work with that. You can get ear catching emerging effects while going out from that "abyss" into your licks but occasionally shifting pedal too dip during solos just kills your notes. So it takes time to get used to it. But Kirk's Wah is not capable of doing that kind of thing at all. Overall tone is a bit more cold and modern sounding compared to Kirk's wah (that one is like fried potatoes :D ). Yeah, it has it's own...

The DCR 2SR Rack Crybaby is an outstanding system for creating a multitude of superb wah sounds. It is very versatile and offers great control and a really great precise and articulate playing response through the foot controller. I already own the DCR 1SR and that has the stack of dimes inductor and it is fantastic and this DCR 2SR has the red Fasel inductor so it brings a different sound again. I am wah addict and the DCR 2SR is absolutely outstanding. The onboard boost is more of a line driver and alters the playing feel/response of the foot controller as it is turned up or down and this a great advantage and the onboard EQ is also very useful. The best feature though is the six different wah ranges and when these are used along with the boost and EQ the ability to precisely sculpt the...

I am not really a fun of the wah wah sound but its an essential sound if you want to cover Hendrix, SRV, Cream. I tried many wah pedals but no one seem to do the trick for me. Some wahs sounded dull to me or when engaged to the top position made my ears bleed from too much treble. I was looking for a more vintage singing tone but also something versatile something I could "manipulate" to my likes and to the different styles I want to emulate. I received my Wahcko an right out of the box I was thrilled. This pedal's design is so psychedelic its not your average boring wah pedal. It was inside an even more psychedelic pouch case. I put it on my pedalboard and after some experimentation with the various positions of the controller I discovered that I have purchased exactly what I...

I used to own the classic GCB95, where one could set the range by unscrewing the bottom and manually adjusting the gear. The 535q's controls offer a selection of different ranges, more easily. However, I haven't been able to find the ideal setting, yet. The mini size is not a problem, even for larger-than-average feet when standing. When seating, it's even possible to only use one's toes. Positioning it on the board, as well as cabling around is so much easier. The auto-return feature is what sets this pedal apart, in my opinion. Easy to engage, easy to disengage, impossible to get it wrong. My concern was whether, due to the auto-switch-off at the heel position, the pedal would accidentally switch off during a back-and-forth rocking motion; that's not the case, possibly due to a...

Versatile little box, I use it mostly to add a little funk 70s vibe to soundtracks on Guitar and Synth, yet with the options of LP/BP/HP etc means it doesn't always end up sounding like a cheesy cop series! Pros: Quite easy to tune in the envelope follower to different sound source volume ranges, something thats always tricky on some pedals. Makes a synth without a filter like the DX100 sound instantly funky, no need for a talk box! Cons: Would be handy to have a cv or pedal input to experiment with external control, maybe something I'll hack onto it at a later date.

This pedal is absolutely incredible and highly underrated. For a long time I wasnt aware of the actual use case of this pedal. Think about it this way, its like having the tone of the WAH pedal without having the actual WAH effect. That means you will get the nasal/ harmonic tones that can really cut through the mix. For those who are 'on the fence' about the purchase, if you are trying to get a closer tone emulation to Slashes this will be the key! While I dont want to be self promoting, if you do want to hear samples please check on youtube with my user name and you will hear samples. Delighted with the purchase!!

My old vox wah worlde great but i was never ßpleased with the sound loss at playing live. searches the internet for true bypass mods but was to afraid to totally ruin my sound and the wah. so i found this g lab tbwp true byapss wah pad in the store. i was very sketic how it works. but it is so easy: foot on and wah go -> great sound. foot off and the wah is off my signal chain. no hum, no sound loss and auot/off wah function. what else do you need? great thing for vintage wahs and live use. never bad wah sound or the question is it off or on?

As you plug this, you smile. I couldn't believe the difference between this and a "normal" dunlop crybaby. Astonishing difference in the quality of sound. Expecially if you're recording i nstudio, this is like having all the wah options in one box, which makes it really worth the money in a long run. Avoid having other wah until you try this one. The boost knob also colors the sound slightly, but it a way that really makes you smile, again! I also like the fact that I FINALLY have a led to know if the baby is on or off in live situations. Great pedal, worth ALL the money in my opinion, one of the best pedals available on the market today. I would only have put an even bigger led to signal if the pedal is on or off, as it might be confusing initially to discern if the on/off...
