I remain convinced that the WD would have done far better with a less silly name and a more conventional look. 

The only real competitor features wise is the Morley ones and they're far uglier.

Also toe switching is fucking retarded* so that rules out about 95% of wahs.

* why you ask? Because it forces you to start the initial sweep at the highest filter setting which is the opposite of what you want most of the time. I guess it might work for people who only wheel wah out for solos and can tolerate a rest between switching from rhythm to lead but I use my wah more like a synth filter cut off most of the time so conventional wahs would need to be heel switch to be useful to me.

Agreed on the name, but I actually quite like the look of it. Most wah pedals look boring and their makers seem to be stuck in the late 60s.

In stark contrast to the rest of the guitar gear world. 


Which is stuck in the mid 50's.

That's actually one reason I want to try my new board with a good solid-state amp, into my Matrix 2x12". I want to believe, man...
