G-LAB TBWP True Bypass Wah Pad

Een must have voor wah gebruikers. Dit apparaat zorgt er voor dat wanneer je voet van de wah af is hij in true bypass staat. Het is dus geen tone sucker meer in je chain. En bovenal voorkomt het dat eindeloze in en uittrappen van de wah pedals. Wat een ramp is dat. De rubberen voetjes destijds maar van mn cry baby afgehaald, zodat de aan uit switch makkelijker in te schakelen is.

Nu in combinatie met dit ding weet je gewoon zeker, voet erop is wah aan, voet eraf is wah uit. En dan ook dus true bypass uit.

My old vox wah worlde great but i was never ßpleased with the sound loss at playing live. searches the internet for true bypass mods but was to afraid to totally ruin my sound and the wah. so i found this g lab tbwp true byapss wah pad in the store. i was very sketic how it works. but it is so easy: foot on and wah go -> great sound. foot off and the wah is off my signal chain. no hum, no sound loss and auot/off wah function. what else do you need?

great thing for vintage wahs and live use. never bad wah sound or the question is it off or on?

I purchased the G Lab TBWP True Bypass Wah Pad as I thought it would be nice to be able to dip in and out of the wah effect mid solo without the frustration of repeatedly stamping on the wah pedal trying to activate the switch. This can be particularly the case while sitting down as you cannot use your body weight as a lever. If I was gigging I would imagine it would give me more peace of mind that the effect will switch on when you really need it. I have to say it works very nicely with my Cry Baby and it really does remove any difficulty involved. It does not detract from the sound when on and as the Crybaby is not true bypass it probably preserves the dry signal much better (though my ears did not detect a great deal of change). My only gripe with this pedal is that it didn't seem to like my Ibanez WH10 wah very much as all. Firstly the leads on the wah pad were not really long enough to reach the Ibanez wah in/out (as they are situated at the top and not on the sides of the pedal) and secondly the pedal seemed to make a high pitch bell noise when ever you tried to activate it. Not too much of a disappointment as the WH10 has a decibel jump so it would not work in the way I intended to use it anyway.

Very easy to install, great quality, the cables are made of metal (previous version was plastic).
I put some velcro tapes on top and bottom, so both my wah and the pad are steady.
I always had problems with my wah while playing live: sometimes I could not switch it on or off, sometimes I hit it so hard that my signal was dead etc.
With this pad I can leave my wah always on (I removed the on/off switch) and use it whenever I want without the stress I had in the past.
It is so sensitive that it works even if I softly kick my wah, and by doing this continuously I invented a new effect!!!

I think it is essential to all guitarists who gig a lot
