Dunno if anyone else has seen this yet. My love for my PluTONEium Bass Chi-Wah-Wah made me curious about what other mini wahs for bass were available on the market and came across this. I don't think this is available just yet but it's already advertised on the AMT website.

Hopefully I can get hold of one when it comes out and do a review on it.
 
You're still using the subwah right? I'd like to try one some day but the size and look aren't that pleasing to me. Sound would obviously trump that though. I am still using the 105q, and still hate the bypass. Wahs dont come up used too often. The chiwahwah had no bawls as you put it, I hated everything about that pedal except the size. I still want to try out a wilson and Id be interested in giving this AMT a shot, but a couple of the others that people suggest are just way too big. Can't have everything you want it seems.

I got stupid and sold all of my pedals but one for Roland VB-99 this summer (it is awesome, just not what I want now) so, I don't have a SubWah currently. I am on the lookout for another one though...seriously awesome and underrated. It is pretty big though.
 
Ive been trying to get ahold of a wilson wah but they never come up used. The form factor of this one has me eyeing it. Tried the plutonium chiwahwah, hated it, way too thin sounding. AMT said they would be shipping it out to me today or Friday so I should be receiving it next week sometime. Ill do an initial review then try to get a video or clips up
 
I had one for a month, and I liked it more than the 105q. I did a review if you do a search, and I recently sent it to MrExcane who will be doing a youtube demo soon. Dunlop 105q holds more of the original signal, but is less pronounced in its effect than the AMT WH-1B. Check my review for more details. Note I did not have any "glitchy" sounds in my pedal. I think I was the first person on the boards to have one, or to post about having one atleast. The only downside I found was getting used to the springless wah, and shorter throw range than a normal wah. Otherwise I enjoy it.
