XSSIVE":3853df6i said:Erock...it's buffered bypass like most of the dunlops, i've never had a problem with this buffer and tone change when off and i've owned nearly every wah dunlop makes and has made. i know some people hear a tone change with some of them and i think some of those people are full of crap since they say they hear it on a GCB95 for example but not on a Wylde wah where they share the same damn circuit i guess it all depends on your rig and your ears, i hear no change. unfortunately the wizard is a teese i have no experience with, i had a picture wah but was so ho hum about it i sold it failry quick and bought and area 51 which was killer (i regret letting that one go). since it's GCB95 based it can be modded to TB in all of 10 minutes and the cost of a switch and some wire. however i see/hear no need to be honest.

I meant the actual song, but the entire album was horrifyingly yet amazingly brilliant, depicting a tortured soul on the brink of losing his self-determination, the words of his addiction mocking him in the riddle "rise from the dirt I'm in, hide in another's skin, stick black dress doll with pin, your mouth takes on my grin"
I use this line and others for some of my bro's fighting their addiction, being possessed by that spirit, just like Layne and so many others who fell prey to it.
