One of the few wahs I haven't owned is an EMB but I've always wanted to try one of the rack units, so this is on my radar. At one point I had around 20+ wahs and it was a bit absurd, I was a junkie haha. I'm curious, how similar or different is the EMB to the Parachute wah? I had a parachute for a while and it seems to be the only thing vocally close to the EMB.

I recall and know how it is =) Did you ever see my rack mount Parachute Wah video? It will give you a good idea of how it compares to the EMB Audio Remote Wah and I feel the new EMB Pedal Wah is a much superior unit.

It definitely is close to the EMB tone but I found myself only realistically being able to use a fraction of the sweep for what I like...aiming for the EMB type of tone and feel. Like say starting around 15%-75% of the entire sweep range was what I would use. That particular design has a lot going on and without being able to fully control it, you are kinda stuck with it as is.

Here's a clip comparing the new EMB Pedal Wah to an original EMB Audio Remote Wah, dialed in for one of my personal favorite tones.

Here's one with the frequency range around 300hz to 1.8khz. Fairly average range in the hot rodded wah world but it goes MUCH lower and higher

Here's one a little lower sounding

Ok that is an AWESOME looking wah and I would buy one based on aesthetics alone!!!

What the cost on these guys???

 

[beachbum]

The price is €400 plus shipping/customs from France. The price is high but we believe it is more than worth it. This is nothing like a traditional wah pedal and personally I feel slightly wrong calling it a pedal at times simply because you really need to play it and realize how different it is.

Btw I noticed you're in Vegas too. Lemme know if you wanna come check one out some time.
