Plutoneium - Chi Wah Wah

#23
Wow, looks really cool! However, the way it's used could potentionally be a bit of a problem. It looks like you just put the tip of your toes on there, and the pedal actually works in reverse so to speak: high pass when it's open, low pass when it's closed. Because you don't put your entire for on it, but just the tip, your foot moves in the same way as with a normal wah. This will probably take a little getting used to, which is no problem at all, but because your heel is not on the pedal itself but rather on the floor, you'd might have to make some crazy angles with your ankle when you put this thing on a pedalboard. After all, that would put it in a higher position.

Depending on the thickness of your pedalboard, this could be no problem at all, or totally make it unusable to you without doing some balancing act on one foot, with your wah'ing foot's heel not touching the ground at all. That can not be comfortable.

Another way around this would be to have some PB real estate free right before this wah, so you can rest your heel on the PB itself, but that would require more space, thus defeating the whole idea behind this thing.

But I'd love to hear from some people who used this, maybe this is not an issue at all.
