I'm thinking of getting a Wilson Wah. I know some of you use these. I would like to hear your opinions on this. Thanks.

Because I am always too impatient I ordered this:

Bryan,
I haven't got the 12 position bass q wah up on the site yet but yes it covers the same range and you also get three higher ranges and like 3 more lower ranges in addition to the ones that come on the 6 position. The prices for the 12 position are as follows
12 position- $180
12 position vintage spec $200
You can also add the led option or vintage wiring option. The vintage spec comes with both of these included. I'm still working on the soundclips for the 12 position once they're done I'll have them available in the store but you are free to purchase one if you like. Thanks

I recently got a 12-position Q Wah with vintage specs, all trimpots replaced with external knobs, and a blue LED. It freakin rocks! With the external trimpots, I can dial in just about any sound, from metal-y/dub-y doom to funky quacks. Plus, it works absolutely great pre-fuzz or post-octaver. The only qualm that I have with this pedal is that the bottom plate is made of flexible plastic instead of metal. Makes it hard to keep it stuck to my board, even with the good industrial velcro. Probably gonna email Keith about it and see what he says.

Hello all, Just wanted to address the bottom plate. It is made of metal though it is light weight. It is made out of the same material that the Dunlops ect... are made of. I would suggest if you really want to stick it to you board maybe looking into stomping grounds mounting plates. My pedals have the same footprint as a Dunlop so I believe they make one that should fit. Other than that I would suggest more velcro and remember the pedals aren't light so it may take alot of velcro. Hope that clears up the Bottom plate questions. Thanks.

Kevin
