ssiscool Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 This is the Total Guitar ReviewSlash has always seemed strangley reluctant to put his name down for the signature pedel treatment. Back in the GN'R days, there were too many other things to do, like banging chicks and developing an intravenous drug habbit. Now he's cleaned up and (relatively) clear-headed, the iconic Velvet Revolver guitarist has teamed up with Dunlop to create a faithful version of his customised Cry Baby Wah. "This wah pedel has been a dream of mine for years" notes the top-hatted one.To the naked eye, the slash wah is a fairly standard Cry Baby pedel. OK, so it's red and features his skull 'n' crossbones motif on the rocker pedel, but otherwise Dunlop havent wasted time on gimicks. You wont find any VR posters or keyrings rattaling around in the box. This is a serious peice of Kit. it combines the fasel inductor from the classic Dunlop Cry Baby with a high-gain distortion circuit and sets all the levels to ape Slash's trademark lead tone. in otherwords, its Paradise City in a box. thats the idea anyway.it gets awfully dark onstage, so the Slash Wah offers a series of LEDs to let you know whats happening. when you first plug it in you wont notice any of them - that means the unit is bypassed. Push the rocker pedel all the way forward and you'll activate the Wah circuit, causing a blue LED to twinkle at each side. Use your finger to press the red button on the base of the pedel, meanwhile, and you'll activate the Distortion, which is represented by a red LED. It might have been nice if Dunlop had allowed us to activate this mode via a heel switch instead of forcing us to stop soloing, bend down and risk our top hat falling off. But thats a minor criticisum.Harder to fault is the tone of the Slash Wah. It's a fitting tribute to the man's idiodyncratic sound with the Wah and distorion creating a sneering top end and a fruity mid range quack. The best way to use the unit is to push the rocker pedel forward to accent the most dramatic notes, although its also effective when your rocking over a palm muted chord sequence (like the intro to Mr. Brownstone).The Slash wah is also quite versitile, with volume and gain dials on the side and the option of ditching the distortion and funking it up with the Hendrix-esque of the naked Wah circuit. We were interested to see how it preformed as a 'straight' distortion pedel, too, but unfortunatly this wasnt possible - turning off the wah also bypasses the unit. Gripes aside, this is such a cracking peice of kit that we are happy to overlook the fact it's twice the Cry Baby price.Price - £209Origin - USAType - Wah/DistortionFeatures - Wah/disrotion circuit, Fasel inductor, Gain and Volume dials, Input/OutputPower Supply - 2 x 9v Battery or 18v adapter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santana Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 (edited) 209 Pounds for a wah?!?! Holy fucking shit! That's like, almost $400! That's fucking crazy. Anyone who buys one of those has got some problems. ***Ok, I just checked it out, and it's only $169 here in the US. Still, that's way too much for a wah.
