Clyde wah, nice shock
Had some issues with fulttone CS on a TTE and owned some of thier peds but they never worked for me. So leary of buyng fultone again. However was at the Philly Show saturday and tried out a Clyde wah. Dealer had a used white one. not much of a wah user so 200 to 300 for a wah was NEVEr gonna happen. Figured I'd try this out and right way I was getting Electric ladyland wah sounds. 3 licks in I knew I had to buy it at 160.00. I have an old 70's wah that was killer. I had since I was a kid and it beat out al commers till this clyde wah. only thing it did not do as well was the Jeff beck Truth sound.Still it got real close in my mind to the EL wah work, really shocked that it got his close. Started playing I was getting a great Cream shaft, papa was a rolling stone. hendrix tones Gilmour . Seems the extra long travel of the pot n pedal gets the right sound the the vintage Crbaby was always a notch away from. plus it pretty dam quiet to boot. only negitive it is hates my fuzz face. Kinda suck because now I wnat to wah everything ...lol. seems to work real well as a tone controll was well. feel like this is a review but made using a wah fun like whne I was 17. IN fact I think is might be nice than soem of the old wah's by vox that I have tried. For me it is the 1st time a thing new trumped vintage.
