Welcome to this issue’s gui- tar gear review. This issue’s subject is the Boss V-Wah (PW-10 Wah Pedal), the latest in modeling technology from Boss. This little number fea- tures 6 models of wah as well as two custom wahs supplied by Boss. The wah models are a Bass Wah (Bass Mix), the JMI Cry Baby (CBY-WAh), the VOX V846 (VO-WAH), the Morley Bad Horsie (MO- WAH), a Boss Humanizer (VOICE), and a_ Uni-Vibe model (UNI-V). The two addi- tional models consist of a new Boss wah (ADVANCED) and a custom setting (CUSTOM).

The custom setting allows you create your own wah effect and the advanced model provides a wider range of tone control. The Morley Bad Horsie is based on a wah cus- tom designed by Steve Vai, while the Cry Baby and VOX models are based on classic wah designs. The Voice model produces modulation sounds based on human vowel sounds. Finally, the Uni-Vibe is an undulating modulation effect and the pedal controls the rate of the undulation.

Across the top of the pedal of are three knobs: Wah type, Range, and Drive. The wah type allows one to pick the model he or she wants to use, while the range knob allows one to adjust the frequency range that the wah type has on the instrument (it adjusts the vowel type in the case of the Voice). The drive knob opens

long to cook. | hope all of you cheese lovers enjoy!

a really cool feature. Each wah model also has a model of a distortion pedal that corre- sponds with each model: the Custom is the Boss “MT-2” Metal Zone, the Advanced is the Electro-Harmonix Big Muff pi, the Bass-Mix is the Boss “OD-1” OverDrive, the CBY- WAH is’ the Marshall GUV’NOR, the VO-WAH is the Boss “OD-1” Distortion, the MO-WAH is the Boss “OD-2” OverDrive, the Voice is the Boss “BD-2” Blues Driver, and the Uni-V is a booster with flat response. The Drive knob adjusts the drive of each dis- tortion model.

The pedal also has a LED that shows the user when the wah is on and a LED that shows what preset a person is on. “Wait a minute,” you're thinking, “you didn’t mention any presets.” Your right, | did not mention any presets; | was saving them. This pedal also has a heel switch that allows you to cycle through three pre- sets and the LED changes col- ors to show you what preset you are on. Also, there is a memory button that lets you create and store your own pre- sets. Sweet, huh?

Now that | have told you all the things it does | will tell you how it sounds and performs. This wah pedal is sweet! It allows you to do any number of wah related things, and besides, you have three differ- ent wahs that you can have saved, as well as your manual setting. The frequency range control on the pedal also

makes it possible to use this pedal as a bass wah (not just the Bass-Mix setting). The Range knob turned all the way to the left has the effect of hav- ing a low range effect so that one can use a bass through the pedal on all models except the Voice and Uni-V. It also has a very solid construction, like most Boss pedals, as the chassis is metal is very strong and the jacks are attached to the chassis.

The V-Wah comes with 6 AA batteries, or you could just use a Boss adapter to power it, and the pedal torque can be adjusted on the right side with a hex key: Basically, this unit is 8 pedals in one and it only costs $210. My only problem with the Boss V-Wah is noise problem. It is apparently a noisy device and Boss chose to solve this problem with a gradual noise gate. Unfortunately, this feature still makes it quite easy to discern a fuzzy hissing just after you stop making noise with your instrument. In high volume jam settings, or playing live, it may not be an issue with respect to extra noise, but recording may be impossible if one wants no extra noise. Otherwise, if you want a very versatile wah, | suggest you check it out at Electron Sound & Percussion 3658 Massey Drive. Until next issue. Sorry about the lack of picture, but | was not able to find a decent picture of the pedal.

Never wrestle in the mud with a pig. You both get dirty, and the pig likes it... Well, once again, the horoscopes are just a wee bit short, so it comes
