Fulltone Clyde Wah Deluxe - Review
Fulltone Clyde Wah Deluxe Version Review
I use wah pedals a lot. Actually that is an understatement. There is no
effect I use more than a wah pedal. As you can imagine I have a few, and this
one I bought while on vacation in sunny LA a few years ago.
I first saw Robin Trower using one of these a while back and really liked the
sound that Robin achieved from his, so I went ahead and bought one.
The first thing about this pedal is that it was not cheap - it was expensive in
my view for a wah wah. But I suppose like everything you usually get what you
pay for - and it has a number of extras on it that make it more worthwhile, such
as three settings from 'whacked out' wha through a sort of 'Shaft' style and on
to all out Hendrix. Nice.
The pedal is controlled by the usual battery, or you can plug in a wall wart
(it is sold separately). The unit has a light on to show when its engaged or
otherwise and best of all this product uses a hand-wound MuMetal shielded
Fulltone 500mH inductor which sounds to my ears like a good early wah of the end
of the 60's - and I should know, I was there!
Mine is in a cream off white and looks cool but I believe the newer ones are in
black. I like the cream one. The build quality of this wah pedal is superb as is
the resultant sounds. I don't like the 'shaft' sound, but everything else makes
this one of my most used pedals of recent times.
Typical price (if I remember right was $270.00 or £210.00 pounds as per review
date so it's not a cheap device, but it will last you a long time. If you like
Robin Trower wah (like Jimi Hendrix in many ways) then you will like this pedal
too.
I rate this as a 10 out of 10 and there is not much that passes my hands with
that rating.
Best features are:
- Quality of Build
- Sound
- Effective variable sounds
- best inductors inside
- The price was a little off-putting, but overall the unit is worth the money.
Remember there are other pedals around and much cheaper than this one - I also like the regular Cry baby wah too - in fact that's also one of my favorite wah pedals and costs less than half the price.
