G-LAB Wowee-Wah

I discovered the Wowee Wah whilst searching for a true-bypass wah that I could use in line with my fuzz pedals. A true-bypass wah doesn't change the impedence which is very important when using fuzz pedals.

Not only is the Wowee Wah true-bypass, but it also has many unique features:

• Adjustable bass, depth and q-factor
• 3db volume boost
• can be switched on and off in the traditional way, or via touch-sensitive operation
• battery or 9v powered

Personally I have it set up so that it's touch-sensitive. This works great for me, as soon as I put my foot on it it becomes active.

I really like the extra options, especially the bass and depth which make it sound less thin.

This wah sounds very good overall, very usable in all situations such as funk rhythm or rock leads. Compared to a standard wah I would say it sounds slightly thinner and more artificial... but still very good.

Build quality is excellent. G-Lab have obviously spent a lot of time developing it, it's very robust and well engineered. There is a screw to adjust the tension, which to be honest doesn't make much difference, it would be nice to have more adjustment here.

So to summarise:

Pros:

Versatile
Great options
Sounds good
Very well built
Touch sensitive
True-bypass

Cons:
Slightly thinner sounding compared to normal wahs
Limited tension adjustment
