SUPERBAWL® WHINE-O-WAH

"This thing is a breeze to use and set up. I connected it to the footboard's 9V power, fired up a couple riffs, and marveled at how many sounds I could make with just minor adjustments. It's a lot of fun, and it makes a really good OD as well. The manual (does anyone really read these things) is all of one side of a piece of paper, but what is there but a pedal, a couple of knobs, and a switch." Anonymous

"In bypass, I have no coloration of the sound. The first thing I did was to run through the clean, 70's "Shaft" sound for the solo in "Funky Music". The next step was to fire off "White Room" with the "White Room" setting and a little of the "Testosterone" and pulled it off without any extra distortion. Finally, I grooved some bluesy lines with the "Voo Doo" setting in "Testosterone". I was impressed with how smooth this thing sounds, and I knew I'd found what I was looking for in a Wah pedal with this one." Anonymous

"This pedal is built like a tank. I gig a lot and the road is not always kind to gear, but this one is built to last. [Customer support] is what has convinced me not to look at other brands. I broke the on/off switch. It is a complicated triple pole double through switch and I couldn't find a replacement anywhere. So I emailed SD and got a reply same day from Kenny Segall, the designer. He offered to send me a replacement switch in the post which I received a couple of weeks later. Given that they are in the USA and I live in the UK, that is the best customer service I have ever received. I play mainly hard rock, but dabble in other styles too. It covers all the bases and adds a flavour of its own. You can mimic the standard Crybaby sound, or let it shine on its own merits, but it won't impose itself too much on your own sound. You can even set up a usable level of solo boost too. I have been playing for 12 years and gone through lots of different pieces of gear, but this one's a keeper. I wouldn't even entertain the notion of something else to replace it. I intend to track down some of their other pedals, and will defintely buy one of the very-tone dog pedals. I have always prefered to use just the guitar and amp and very few effects, but I am making an exception here." Rob H
