one of the best or the best bass wah
bypass is good, it's build is great, the size could be smaller. i love that their is no foot switch. the wah works great with slap. you really have to whip your foot and fingers to get a cutting noticable sound. dirt being fed into it is always good. it does retain the lowend, probably the dryest wah out their. i forgot to mention that you can find the 105q at a good price. when it comes to wahs, unless it's optical, buy brand new. i mostly give this pedal 4 stars because it's not perfect. dunlop make more. also, works great on guitar.
No bells or whistles. Just a straight up Bass Wah.
If you're needing a bass wah, might as well be this one. No complaints against it except maybe the price for them brand new.
great quality bass wah
I use it on Higher Ground (RHCP cover) and it works magic. I love it 100% recommend. It was also my 1st wah pedal, or at least something similar.
Fat
The tone is dark and fat. It's excellent for a slow sweep filter. Unlike a lot of people I find the bypass ok. I don't notice any dramatic change in my bypass tone to be honest...
From Gear Setup:
The bypass needs to be cut on a note. I hear it but it's a matter of technique. Pedals should evoke our creativity, and learning when to attack on a pedal is as old as the piano.
Great and fun pedal!
I was practicing and getting awesome sounds. I mix this with the fuzz that Bass Big Muff gives and sound really great. If you love play bass and want to try new sounds I strongly recommend this one. I know it's not usual bass players use wahwah effects but it's fun, different and gives you a lot to try.
I have to admit, that I don't think that I would use often this one in a gig, but I can enjoy it playing alone or on a gig.
BTW, I love EHX pedals (my personal favorite brand) but sorry, I didn't like the Crying pedal without moving parts. I prefer my wahwah in the classic way.
There is only "Wah" Wah pedal
This pedal will bring the funk straight to you, it will slap you in the face and funk you up!
Stoner Rock 🤘
For those special times when you need to stuff an envelope into an envelope then a padded mailer then throw it down a well and kick Lassie in with it. Sorry Timmy, looks like you're having Korean for dinner tonight.

awesome
Its huge, its agressive its awesome! also I'm one of the few who using this masterpiece on guitar rig
It just sounds the best out of the cry baby collection in my opinion
Has a huge range and sounds amazing!!!!!
A classic.
Can't go wrong with that one. It just sounds great. The only real issue I have with it is the auto-return switching - and what I mean with that is, the added sound when the pedal adjusts to the beginning position, when not timed right it can really mess up the line BUT when you know it you can avoid it. Still a solid build, solid sounding, classic bass pedal.
