Fulltone Clyde Standard Wah Pedal Reviews

This thing is built like a tank. Most decent wahs are, but this one gust feels....more solid. Smoother taper than a standard Dunlop. The switchable buffer circuit can fix any volume dropoff that you might experience when using it with a hi gain amp. Or, switch it on and dial up a little boost when activated, which is what I do.

Made in the USA. Will last forever, unless maybe you spill a beer on it.

I am not very experienced with wah's, but this one is easy to get used to and is very expressive. It is built like a tank and should be in service for many years to come.

Compared to other wah pedals on the market, the Clyde had the sound I was looking for. The buffer control lets you dial in the correct amount of wah as compred to the dry signal. (worth the money)

Works as advertised. Definitely a quality built pedal. Great tonal range.

Sometimes you just have to bite the bullet and get the best. This wah is the real deal. Compared to what is supposed to be original pedals (CryBaby/Vox) This pedal simply does what it is supposed to do, not to mention allowing you to make sure your level is correct when you engage it. EXCELLENT!

Plugged it in and instantly loved it. They thought of everything you need to have a great wah tone. Buffer switch allows you to pair it up with a fuzz pedal. No wierd oscilation noises from the wah like i had with my cry baby. Or settling with putting fuzz 1st and getting that wierd high end. Wah 1st fuzz 2nd in signal chain. You get all the wah wah and the fuzz still shines through. The way it should be. Voodoo chile all day long.
Vintage voiced with the quack and wah you hear from the classics. You can adjust the wah feel with the bolts on the side. The wah on off pot is easy to turn on, a little extra push to turn off, made that way so you dont accidentally turn it off while wah-ing your heart out. This is the wah i always wanted.

This pedal makes my old Vox Crybaby sound and feel like a worn-out racing clutch. It makes me feel like I'm gliding. And the buffer control is a stroke of genius.

I could tell you how well it's made, and the increadable low noise ceiling, and that the sweep feels like it coming out of your toes.
I will say this: I play a lot of Hendrix, and now I can channel my tone off the 3rd Stone. Just buy it. YOU LIKE WHA, WHA? This is a wha, wha you want...

If your looking for a wah with an old school vibe then look no further! Great pedal!!

Fulltone never fails!
You know this, because you are here reading this review...

2 guitarists in our band, each uses a Fulltone Clyde.

Super smooth on/off clicking.
Excellent and authentic tonal quality.
No shrill high frequencies like the other overseas brands...

This pedal is one of the best peices of gear I've ever bought. If you use a wah, you need to use this wah. You could spend a small fortune on the real "McCoy" but why would you when this tops an original in quality of build, range of sweep, and overall versatility. The internal control is amazing. The buffer control is a godsend. The adjustable treadle is brilliant. Bottom line... This is the best wah on the market. I would say best ever (except for maybe the deluxe Clyde model). You will not be disappointed. This is the one folks. Well worth the extra cash.

The Fulltone Wah is wildly beyond my expectations. I used it on a gig 2 days after receiving it and was amazed by how much better it sounded in the full band mix then the Crybaby Classic or Vox I had been using. So much more controllable and musical sounding. I run straight into a little preamp so I didn't use the buffer but I can see times I might to either boost or even cut output when the wah kicks on. I also really appreciate the lock-nut fulcrum which allows me to adjust tension so the pedal either stays where I put it or falls to full treble. Without any tinkering full treble is very usable and pleasing compared to other wahs. With this thing my Earl Hooker is more Earl Hooker, Hendrix is more Hendrix, Skip Pitts more Skip Pitts etc...

Years ago, I had a Clyde Deluxe that traveled the south of the US with me for 2 years. It was super durable, sounded excellent, and easily the quietest wah I ever used, but I only used the standard setting. Buying this one was a no brainer. Still super quiet, and the bass trim and output controls allow me to tailor the sound to whatever amp I'm using. This is super important to me. I get the Brian Robertson/Michael Schenker sounds with every amp I own. Nice.

I have had many wah pedals over the years. My Ideal wah tones are the usual ones....Electric Lady Land era Hendrix, Cream, Trower, Beck, Page. This pedal gets very close to those vintage tones with a great sweep range, vocal midrange and fast attack when pushing the pedal fast. It is a bit modern sounding though. My vintage Thomas Organ Crybaby still sounds much bigger, louder and deeper but the Fulltone Clyde wah is very consistent. The sweep range on this wah is wide with a lot of highs on tap. The only other newer wah pedal I have heard that sounds better (more vintage) is the Teese RMC Picture wah. This wah pedal should please most wah junkies and is built very well. The buffer is awesome and lets you use vintage fuzzes with ease. If it's good enough for Robin Trower...well its good enough for most I guess. Great wah!

I've been meaning to replace my noisy old Mr. Crybaby for a while now, but without access to demos of all the wah's out there, I never could quite make up my mind (by just listening to Youtube vid's). Having purchased an OCD and a Fulldrive 3, I've been very impressed with Fulltone's quality and musicality. So I pulled the trigger. The buffer, boost and overall tonality of this pedal are excellent, and it is quiet as a mouse. The sweep is taking some getting used to, though. It covers such a wide range, that the sweet spot for any given frequency range is quite small, For example, soloing around the fifth position, you can find that sweet whistling midrange, but move off of it just a hair and it's gone. I'm gonna stick with it though, cause I think the payoff will be worth it once I get my foot calibrated. Recommend it.

It's a wah pedal-how bad can it be? Sounds good and once I contacted Fulltone about the switch being overly sensitive, I'm much happier. Mr. Fuller e-mailed directions on how to adjust the wah for a slightly easier to control wah. The enclosure is robust and the electronics look sturdy as with any Fulltone product. My only other complaint is that the rubber feet he uses absolutely suck! They spin freely on the screw so a screwdriver is mandatory for battery changes.
