Sign in to disble this ad
One more pedal to know how to get, and I know that no one sells them anymore, but how can I get a Guyatone BR2 Bottom Wah Rocker Pedal for some auto-wah, I been saving up for these pedals and now I realize that you can't get them anymore. Does anyone know how to get it?

Is this pretty much the same pedal?

Well i've heard similar negatives for both of them so perhaps. I'd suggest the WR3 since it has a clean blend option, blends a little bit of your clean signal with it so it apparently works fine on bass.

Wr3 sucks reallyyyyy bad. You can find BR-2's on ebay every now and then. I was lucky and bought mine right when they were getting discontinued


i like my BR-2 so much, i might keep it on the board when i get my Boomstick bottomfeeder AND Subdecay Prometheus!

Another way I've heard of people getting them is cruising Mom and Pop music shops to see if they still have some in stock. Might be a good way to spend an afternoon if you're eager to get your hands on one.

Dude.. The WR-3 rocks my cat's nuts right off.

In all seriousness, though, the WR-3 is a good pedal. Plenty of low end. The only problem I have with it is the volume boost, but it's not a big issue.

I found mine a little while after they where discontinued in a small shop advertising on the net. You can be lucky like that, or just check the usual places like ebay etc...

I have not personally used the WR-3, but having said that, I have never really heard of it being a great pedal... Having said that, the BR-2 ain't that great IMO either I find with an active bass, its very spikey and boomy.

I personally found the BR-2 very peaky and muddy. For what I want, there's a lot of way better filters out there.

Not anymore! When I started out I was. Then I realised that Mr. Chancellor's weapons of choice are not my weapons of choice

The WR-3 just happens to be a kick-ass envelope filter.

That's what you get, Toto!

heh heh I haven't tried the WR-3, but I've listened to clips and i'm not a fan of it. I love my BR-2's sound with my Rickenbacker so that's all i gotta know :]
