Description

Bassists also have the right to have fun with a wah-wah! And preferably with a Cry Baby since this model has become mythical. The 105Q Bass is the version adapted to the low frequencies.

Bass and wah at a time.
Bootsy Collins (James Brown), Rex Brown (Pantera), Geezer Butler (Black Sabbath), Flea (Red Hot Chili Peppers), Tim Commerford (Rage Against The Machine) ... Many bassists have seized the wah wah to give voice to their instrument and thus vary its textures. Originally, they were forced to use a standard Cry Baby (guitarist), which deprived them of much of the precious bass. But with the 105Q Bass Dunlop has designed a Cry Baby specifically designed for the needs of four-stringers.

Small Q button
The small button of Variable Q is of paramount importance since it determines the width of the frequency range processed by the wah. We thus go from a broad and diffuse effect to a precise and concentrated effect, with all the intermediate nuances. In addition, a boost activated by footswitch (and whose volume is adjustable by another button up to +20 dB) allows you to stand out of the mix of the group when you use the effect.

At the foot!
Finally, the Auto-Off function is both discreet and of utmost importance. It eliminates the need for a footswitch to trigger the effect: a sensor detects when your foot is on the pedal and instantly activates your wah-wah. To no longer have the effect, just remove your foot! The interest is obvious when you know that on a bass, you will often use the 105Q Bass to punctuate a very short passage, a chord or a phrase rather than a long solo. As such, the ability to assign a note without pressing a footswitch twice becomes particularly valuable.

Want a Wah Wah for effective bass? It's this way ! The 105Q has become a standard for all bass players, such as Flea's Red Hot Chili Peppers. This pedal presents a series of impressive and very useful features:
- Full reproduction of the bandwidth of the bass.
- Activation of the Wah at the slightest pressure, without switch.
- Automatic return of the pedal in raised position as soon as it is not used.
- Q control to change the frequency of the Wah: allows to customize the sound of the infra-bass to the most biting.
- Boost adjustable from 0 to +20 dB, to slightly boost the Wah, saturate it or keep a huge power reserve.
- Power supply not included: 9V battery or MDU ECB003E power adapter. Battery access by clipped flap under the pedal.

Received the day after ordering! This is the best wah pedal I've ever used. Precise, easy to use, no noise, etc. It's clear why the big names in bass use this pedal! A very good guaranteed investment. Thanks to Woodbrass.
