I like this wah a lot

By Kelly Banks from Las Vegas nv on May 2, 2021 Music Background: Bass, guitar, keys

I use this wah at the beginning of my pedalboard signal chain and I've dialed in the Q for my favorite wah flavor and have the unity gain volume set to my bass and I have no noticeable volume change when I use it and it sounds soooo good! I really like this pedal!

crybaby!!

I'm crying because I didn't buy this pedal sooner!!!
The only pedal I use more is my compressor witch stays on. I play in an RnB/ funk band and wanted the crybaby for a better wah vs. My envelope filter that I use on 1 or 2 songs lol this pedal is soooooouuuullll much more than that ....so many little Suttle things you can do to make you sound AWESOME! Like Barry White's practice what you preach. Hit the phase 90 and just barely Crack that crybaby and wow!!! Or stevie superstition with the mxr octave and use the crybaby full pedal, man this thing is like smoked hammock in pinto beans, you ain't cooking unless you gotta crybaby!!!! Just buy it!! Oh and by the way I bought the demo modle, excellent condition and I couldn't be happier unless I had a few more tootsie rolls,lol

Working man's filter module

By Chris Taylor from Omaha, NE on August 29, 2015 Music Background: Musician/Songwriter

As I have been trying to formulate a rig for recording (and hopefully performing!), I have always wanted some kind of filter sound for my guitar that doesn't sound like a wah. Wah is definitely one of those essential guitar effects, but for someone who wants to really break the rules and experiment the effect itself can be somewhat limiting. Secondly, it seems like a lot of companies try to give you solutions for non-wah filters for guitar that are only auto-wah type effects, contain insane amount of functionality, or cost a lot of money just to get a filter you can control at will.

All I want is a controllable envelope filter for my guitar. That's it! I should need a complex pedal with tons of features (including the need for an expression pedal) just to have that ability. The 105Q, on the other hand, provides an envelope filter with auto-return and adjustable volume and peak control in a pretty idiot proof package. No need to dive through presets or meander through menus just to get a simple, controller filter; just a controllable, instance-based envelope filter in a wah enclosure when you want it.

Whether you play bass, guitar, keys, vocals, an accordion, this is the most simple controllable, filter effect you can buy. Just try it out and disregard the name because this is not really a wah (it doesn't even have a frickin' inductor!). This is a working man's no frills analog filter that sounds great and will not break the bank.

This Wah is amazing! I use it for my guitar, and love the aplications it allows. The tone is awesome, the depth is vast, basically anything you want. It doesn't work well with very high notes, but after playing with the settings, and adjusting technique it's doing just fine. I was never a fan of no bottom, "guitar" wah pedals. I would buy it again, unless I came up with the money and could justify the customshop 95 rack wah...

Just what the doctor needed

By Paul from San Leandro,Ca. on October 10, 2013 Music Background: Pro Musician

I have been waiting for this to be in my pedal board.
And it's just what the doctor needed.

Love it!

By Kameron from Ohio on January 12, 2018 Music Background: Bassist

A nice Wah for a bassist. Definitely not as intense as a normal guitar wah, but it definitely keeps the bottom end very well. A very fun pedal that can be used in many different ways, also pairs well with distortion, but paired with some pedals it does suck the other effect out while in use

Not a necessity but very nice to have

By Chris Frye on September 15, 2014 Music Background: Pro musician, recording engineer

Bass wah pedals are not as developed as they should be. I understand technical differences in being able to manipulate the sound of bass compared to the sound of guitar, but companies such as Dunlop and Mosley should really invest in development. Compared to the current bass wah pedals on the market though, this pedal shines brightest.
For what this pedal is worth, it is still nice to have on the pedal-board for expression purposes. It is a solid design, movement activated, and the color makes it stand out. The wah on this pedal is subtle but if used right, it can easily add to the sound you wish to create.
At first when you plug it in, you won't be "blown away" right off the bat. When I first used it, I did feel a little disappointed but I was determined to make sure it wasn't just me. I brought it from my practice rig to my performance rig and I felt much better about it when hearing it at a louder volume. I am keeping it and think it will service a good purpose.
Message to the makers of bass wah pedals: don't keep the low end of the sound with a wah behind it. If I want to manipulate the sound with a wah pedal, I want to change the entire thing, not just the higher end. Do this, and I will be first in line for a new product.

Is it supposed to sound like a car that needs new break pads?

By Burling from USA on March 20, 2024 Music Background: funky bassist

I'm hesitant to leave a review on this, but this pedal has just never worked for me. Half of the tonal range just breaks up into static at every setting when I use it - I'm unsure how people are getting good results.

Junk

By Russell from Antelope, CA on July 26, 2021 Music Background: 35 year bassist

I owned this pedal years ago, and returned it after about 3 days. I found it totally lacking in tonal qualities, and it has very weak gain. It actually limited the range of my bass, rather than enhancing it. I also had a lot of trouble with the electronic actuator; as it turns out, the mechanical plunger switches are much more reliable. If you are a bass player, I recommend the MC404 CAE first, and the 535Q as a very close second. Either of these will allow you to really shape your sound, and with the boost feature on each to really cut through any other instrument.
