Yeah, not difficult to operate at all.

It's like the difference between skinny jeans and bellbottoms or something like that.

I've stated it in other threads, but I'm so hyped on it, that I don't mind saying it again.

Sonuus Wahoo.

I had to clean out part of my storage closet, to make room for all the wahs that this puppy has replaced. Even my Ludwig Phase II clone is collecting dust now. Dual analog audio paths, with digital control (including MIDI, but need a convertor), it sits front and center on my pedalboard now.

I'm actually looking for a darker wah that doesn't give a nasty shrill highs on a full toe position.. Vox's was the worst, tried the Cartell and didn't like it as well. Anyone tried the RMC Picture wah & the Wah Probe?

This is what I'm rocking ( ;) )at the moment. Definitely my favourite out of those I've tried, the sweep is great and I love the action on the treadle. It's cool for funky stuff and leads and I think it kills with fuzz, although it's kinda picky about which fuzzes it works with, some it's just like an on/off switch between 2 sounds rather than the whole sweep. Maybe that's just how wah+fuzz is in general?

monekydancer, is that the inductor type colorsound? the musonic i mention is the same circ as the inductor colorsound - a totally awesome sweep - i will also throw this into the mix - the bonamassa signature dunlop borrows a couple things from the colorsound recipe - hmmm. (btw the dunlop JOE b sig wah is one of the coolest off the rack wahs ever made IMO - awesome.)

I have no idea what kind it is! :lol: I know it's a reissue from around the 90s but nothing more than that. :idk:

everything i can find on the 90s colorsound is that it is the inductorless. also a fave circuit. the zvex wah probe reputedly has a circuit relationship to the colorsound inductorless.

Ah ok cool. Just had a poke around inside and I couldn't see anything I thought looked like an inductor (though my electronics knowledge is not good enough that I couldn't have missed it)

Someone said: "Subdecay Prometheus DLX + Espresio pedal=best wah ever"
