    In this episode Daniel and Mick have a look at the Xotic XW-1 Wah Pedal.
    A medium-sized chassis make it a pedalboard-friendly size, while controls for bass, treble, Q and transistor bias enable you to dial in your wah tone exactly how you like it.
    Mick is playing his Fender American Vintage 1962 Stratocaster, Daniel is playing is Gibson Custom 1958 Les Paul Standard reissue.
    Amplifiers are a Hamstead Artist 20 and a Mallard 18-watt Plexi-style.
    Wacka wacka? Yeah baby!

    I’ve had this Wah since it first come out, and I still have it after all these years, it’s still the best sounding Wah

    I have had one for years... its a life long pedal. If you want something different just re-adjust the controls. I don't have any dropouts what so ever...

  • @YellowBrickFloyd
    @YellowBrickFloyd 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    One important point about the features (may have been missed?)....It has a fuzz friendly buffer!
    You can place this "prior to" a germanium fuzz and it sounds awesome! I believe the buffer is only on when pedal is engaged and otherwise is true (relay) bypass. If I am not mistaken.
    Also, the footswitch is easier to engage than other wahs ....you don't have to stomp like killing a bug.

  • @twezzo99
    @twezzo99 3 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    WARNING: This might be the best wah pedal on the market for studio work. BUT: There is a moment of silence when you turn it on, it just doesn´t kick in immediately. You won´t be able for instance to play Voodoo Chile Slight Return without annoying interruptions of the tone signal - unless you leave the wah wah effect on for the whole song.

    • @davesava6e245
      @davesava6e245 ปีที่แล้ว

    • @twezzo99
      @twezzo99 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I bought a cry baby for live use. The pause is there, in any setting. In the case of Voodoo Chile, there can´t be any kind of break between clean and wah guitar.

    • @MOAB-UT
      @MOAB-UT 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Xotic uses a relay which is super nice for turning on/off without having to stomp. Tones are similiar to others. Looks cooler and smaller. I did not like the CAE as much.

    This is the best wah ever! I bought the Cry Baby SLASH classic wah because it has true bypass and LED's (also because it sounds good, but it has too much low end and is too loud), but this one has so much more! And that sound! I'm gonna have to buy it..

    • @friendsandfuncanada

      I think it's probably just because Mick is closer and they thought it would be funny. If Dan is endorsing this wah pedal I imagine he uses it himself.

  • @Peamush
    @Peamush 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Are you sure the Q is not controlling the depth rather than the width of the frequency range? It sounded like it was getting more intense, otherwise you would hear the actual note of the frequency more which would sound rubbish, turning it down just made the effect more subtle.

    • @Lee-wu2up
      @Lee-wu2up 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      The label is wrong if it's not working as they've described. A Q label means you're adjusting the size of the frequency band.

      Five years ago, however, there is virtually no noise with the Xotic Wah. The Fulltone Deluxe is very quiet as well. The Xotic Wah and Jam Waackoo Wah are my favorite wah pedals of all time. Both very expensive as far as Wah pedals go. Get what you pay for. TD
