G-Lab True Bypass Wah Pad

I just popped my old Dunlop JH-1s Crybaby on my board. Of course, concerned of the affect it would have on my tone. Then I stumbled upon this...it looks pretty cool:

G-LAB True Bypass Wah Pad

If you have a wah you need one of these!
The True Bypass Wah Pad is awesome...a truly innovative product that has drawn alot of interest since it's inception a year ago.
Crybaby's, Vox and may other wah's are known who their tone sapping qualities. The wah sound ok, but you feel that they are eating into the quality of your tone when they're not in use.
The Wah Pad makes them true bypass so you experience no loss on tone!
As a bonus, it is also pressure activated, meaning that you no longer need to click your wah on and off, you just simply apply pressure to turn it on and release your foot to turn it off.
Simply awesome...if you have ever gigged, you NEED one of these.


£99.99

Of course at aprox. $150.00 US, I could probably just buy a new true bypass wah, but it does have some additional cool features.

The incentive to buying something like the G-Lab thingy is the auto-on/off feature. If true bypass is all you're after, a $5 DPDT switch (I like the Carling 316PP for Dunlop wahs, as it has the same fit as the stock switch), some wire and a little work will do it.

I have one these I think it's fantastic. I always had trouble turning my wah on & off, this is the reason I got one. I know it's fairly expensive but now I have one I coudnt go without it.
