Rips, but stopped working just past 1 year
By James Otto
This was purchased as a gift for me last Christmas. I play a fair amount of 80s, 90s alt and hard rock and thought the wah and distortion would be a cool combo. Speaking of combo, I play it with my peavey vypyr 30 combo amp. It has a very cool distortion to the wah sound, but it is easy to get this thing to wail, and not in a good way. Get your settings correct, and it wails in a VERY FREAKIN' AWESOME way. I'm no guitar virtuoso, but I've impressed the peeps I play with when I plugged this in and ripped through a solo we're all familiar with. The added texture and scream to the wah really enhances a killer solo riff.I don't really use it that often and it rests on the floor next to my mic stand or in my gear/cable storage bag. It has lived a very cushy life for just past 1 year.Bad news...it just stopped working. I haven't used it in 2 months and was playing tonight. One moment all is cool, next, no blue light, no sound. nada. I've emailed Dunlop tech support. I can't find anything physically wrong with it. I've used it 90% with the appropriate dunlop power adapter. Tried using batteries to see if the power adapter went bad...no dice. For something so heavy, that has had no stage use, not molestation and no abuse of any sort...I absolutely do not think it should quit like it did. I really anticipated this thing lasting forever. If it still worked it deserves a 4.5 star review. I've read on several review sites that this wah has had some reliability issues. If i'm taken care of by Dunlop...I'd increase my rating, if not...I'd have to give it a 1.5. It was $169 when purchased for me on Amazon. That is a rip off for something that has been used ~12 times (about $13/use - not good price per use!!)UPDATE: heard back from tech support - there is a 12 month warranty on dunlop pedals. I had to downgrade my rating because something the lists for $298, hits the street between $130-$170 and lasts 1 month beyond the manufacturer's warranty is not reliable or worth it. They'll fix it for $50 (+shipping to them) Very hard to recommend. -updated UPDATE: tech support @dunlop contacted me and said they'd take care of my pedal, I just need to ship to them since it was just out of warranty. VERY cool of them. I'd say I can crank up my recommendation a notch. my faith in the product lasting a long time is shaky, but I have to say Dunlop customer service is very very cool.

Sent to Dunlop Twice for Faulty Electronics
By USCottA
The potentiometers had to be replaced twice. I don't use this pedal very often, or aggressively even, but they kept failing. Fortunately, they were replaced under warranty. But the fact that they were replaced twice in a year doesn't make me feel very good about this product.As far as quality, I'm hooked up to a combo amp. The wah itself is okay, but with the overdrive function on, it only sounds "good" in the clean channel. Otherwise, combined with any distortion on my amp, it sounds LOUD and horrible. Shrill, explosive, and just plain bad.This is an expensive wah. I'd stick with the basic Cry Baby which you can get for about $70, and forget about the overdrive function in this one. I was really into Slash at the time (and still am), and thought this would help me achieve his tone. Without all the other gear he has, that really isn't going to happen, so I say stick with what you've got and create your own unique tone. My 2 cents.

Slash Wah
By Rajeev Moondhra
This wah pedal is a great wah pedal. It looks cool, is built like a rock, and cuts through during a solo. If you want to sound like slash, this pedal is right for you. This pedal makes you sound exactly like slash. The distortion circuit SUCKS. Dont plan to use the distortion curcuit, or else it screeches. Other than that, it is great. Also, this pedal is a very loud pedal, so it isnt too great for songs where the wah is light. It is pretty versatile, but always loud. it is great for any guns n roses or hard rock songs. Compared to the kirk hammet wah, this sounds a lot more like slash, and has an extremely convinient LED light to know if it is on or off. The kirk hammett was is much more versatile though, and also sounds good for guns n roses, but not too good. I have owned this pedal for around 3 months and I love it.
