History:
Purchase: Id wanted a wah pedal for a long time, seeing as my FX unit didnt have an expression pedal. I spotted this unit for £35 in Dawsons music. I didnt try any other wahs, i went straight for this because of the price.
What I Like About This Unit: I like the overall sound of this unit :) It has 6 wah modes, 3 rock and 3 funk, but to be honest there isnt much difference between the individual types. I'd consider it to only have two main modes. The Octaver is nice, it adds an interesting twist to your sound, but I dont really use it that much. The wah range is quite impressive, and coupled with a decent distortion pedal after this unit in your signal chain, you can really get some interesting sounds.
What I Do NOT Like About The Danelectro Dan-o-wah: Okay, the Distortion is rather poor. Its very fuzzy and there are no controls for it. But, I didnt buy this pedal for distortion, its a wah after all. The other complaint is that to switch the wah on and off is far to easy. I've knocked it off by accident many times before. Also, the switches for the distortion and wah type are too close to the foot pedal, so that when turning the wah on, you can inadvertantly turn the distortion on, or change the type of wah. Not good!
Dan-o-wah Quality: I dont have any serious gripes with the construction quality, its made of plastic, but it can hold my weight, and I'm a big chap! I dont think you could take a sledgehammer to it, but it will stand up to a beating. I intend to take on stage with me at the next gig we play without worries.
Summary: Overall, I like this wah a lot. Having never really played any other, I cant really compare. It's an excellent first pedal, not very expensive, with a good range of sounds. If you are interested in a wah pedal, try this one out, I think its a good buy.
