Double Wah

superbassman2000 said:
btw, here's an interesting link about putting two wah circuit in one housing, in a wah/antiwah type setting, so you'd be using two wahs, one toe-heel and the other heel-toe...they say thats the way that human speech occurs, so it would maybe give the same effect as this?

I may be a little off, so any experts can chime in if they want!

i thought the bassballs was built on the idea of having two filters wired reverse to one another to mimic human speech...i remember reading that somewhere

Set everything up and after about 4 presses on the footswitch it was hooped (the footswich I mean). Took a flashlight and got a look at the switch, and it was so ****ing small and flimsy. I guess I'm used to Boss or something but damn :mad: .
Good news is that I exchanged it for:

(Dunlop DB01 Dimebag Darrell Wah Pedal)

That thing is great!!!!! Has 6 different wah ranges (so you can use it on bass w/o loosing any low end @ the heel), knobs for Q, Boost, and most importantly, the range of the pedal. You just set up the range of the heal, toe the pedal, and adjust how much treble you want. This gives some interesting sounds from dark and fat to bright and thin. Boost is controlled by the little red switch at the heel, the on/off is at the toe, and there's a torque adjustment on the hinge facing the heel. The battery compartment acctually has a door (for a Dunlop thats special from what I can gather). The coolest feature, I think, is the fact that it has two outputs, one wet, one dry. I now have my tuner out of my FX loop and connected to the dry out!!!!!. You can also open up the bottom and flick a little switch (thats besides the outs) towards the toe. Then one out is "effect off" the other is "effect on" (from what I gather in the manual...).

All in all, one sweet *** pedal :cool:

I still haven't finished experimenting with it so I'll be back w/ more :D

Oh and BTW I acctually like it better than my V-Wah at the moment. Now I know what some of you guys have been saying when it comes to digital stuff. You don't get a "zipper" :eek: effect when rockin' this baby!!!!!

are you going to record some clips of the two wahs inline for us? :)
totally :D , though I'm not too impressed with how two wahs sound. Probably has sumpthin to do with the V-Wah being digital....

needless to say I've found my wah. Now I just need to find my distortion, but thats for another thread....
 
Demo Location: Invalid Link Removed
It's about 9 megs just so you know

This was done with just the two wahs and a volume. The bass is a 4 string tuned BEAD. I picked with my fingers on just the open strings.

When I say I'm using both pedals, the first goes into the second, and both are heel to toe at the same time.

Code:
[b]Dime CryBaby Settings:[/b]
     Wah Range = Lowest
             Q = Highest
   Sweep Range = High or Low (as stated in the demo)
         Boost = Off
[b]Boss V-Wah Settings:[/b]
         Modes = Bass (Low Q Crybaby-like) or Morley (High Q type)
     Wah Range = Lowest
    Drive Type = Muff Fuzz (based on the Fuzz Face),
                 On Full or Off as per the demo
