Anyone Try The Petrucci Signature Wah Yet?

Just curious. The demo he did sounds great and it has a bunch of internal trim pots. Tempted to get one.

It's basically the Rack wah in pedal form. I'd try it out regardless of who's name was on it. Although, the Mini CryBaby sounds great too.

Best Wah I have ever played for High Gain....simply killer!

Bumping this up, anybody else had a chance to try this Wah out?

Have it and love it. I don't usually do signature gear but I always loved JP's wah sound so I had to try it. I love that it sounds exactly as I imagined it would. Wide sweep, aggressive and adjustable.

Great looking board!

I'm with you on the "name game" - it's a bunch of balderdash!

Ex: The Dunlop slash - 1st he sucks, 2nd he needs to upgrade his top-hat.

I had a Fulltone Clyde Standard with the 20dB boost for about a month of banging on it. The story goes like this, it's nothing but over priced crap and their support is non-existent. Plus Mr. Fuller claims that it's "true bypass", and it's not, it's "hardware-bypass". There's a big difference. Plus it was way too noisy. I dumped the thing after I used it as a door stop for a week before I unloaded it.

In my opinion, the best all-around the wah pedal for the $ and very "true bypass" is the Dunlop Classic (GCB95F) with the red Fasel inductor. It's sweep is beautiful and it's as quiet as a mouse. Another great wah pedal is the Joe Bonamassa (JB95), it has a internal switchable true bypass switch. I own both of them and they are quite different but excellent.

If you want to verify that your wah pedal/system is true bypass, then remove the battery from the wah or remove the power adapter, or both. Then with the pedal "off" play and make sure you get a signal, then engage the wah, the signal should completely disappear. Then your wah is true bypass.

Note: The case against "true bypass" - interesting article (it's 13 years old but still relevant) for you folks that use several pedals, and if they're all true bypass. http://www.petecornish.co.uk/case_against_true_bypass.html

I'm sorta interested in this wah, but my Bonamassa wah just works so well I don't feel the need to replace it. Lol.

A friend bought one since I told him he'd love it and we put it up against my DCR-2SR rack wah and it's 98% as awesome all crammed into a regular wah housing. It boils down to this, if you can't dial it in using its absurd amount of controls to get you a wah tone you like, you just don't like wahs.

What I've dug about all the vids I've seen so far is that they all have the Petrucci wah sound, regardless of the set up they're using, which lets me know that the pedal will work just fine for me!
