Gig-Fx Mega Wah

How come theres not much talk about these at all here? They seem like good wahs, all the clips on the site are good, and it has a ton of settings.

Is it the shape? Whay no love for the mega wah?

Foe those of you who don't know, look here... http://gig-fx.com/products/MegaWah/megawah.htm

I think the treadle shape is definitely a reason. Don't care for it myself(the shape).

have you tried it? is it uncomfortable or is it just the look? Its ergonomically patented so maybe its not as bad as it looks...

No True-bypass is a tone killer for me, especially since it's usually first in the chain...oh, I did try one of their pedals & the bypass definately sucked some tone

Never tried one. I have two wahs now, so no real interest in buying one to check it out. It might be the best wah out there, but no one seems to try it. I love pedals, such intrigue.

i've played these and there is nothing uncomfortable (or even any noticeable difference) from the common treadle shapes ....you just don't feel a difference through the sole of your shoe .... there is no kind of imbalance or wobble if that's what you are thinking of ....

the shape allows the presence of controls in the cut-out areas and, thus, the gigfx pedals can pack in much more functionality for the same pedalboard real estate ....

i think leonc has one .... may be he'll chime in ....
