Gear Ho
As soon as I'd seen it online, I knew I wanted one, or at least try one out.
I just saw one of the first ones shipped to Sam Ash, and I plugged in a black Custom Classic LP into a Blackstar halfstack, with a bunch of the Sam Ash staff standing around. I ran it through it's paces, and besides being stunningly beautiful, it also sounded great.
I started doing requests, from the Michael Schenker cokked wah sound, to Jimi, to funk, etc. All of it sounded really nice. I didn't plan on buying anything today, mostly because I've got a few gear sales pending, so I just put $35 down on the $170 + tax total.
I can't wait to get it. I asked them to sell the one I demoed and order me an untouched one. The logo area has very delicate paint, and the one I tried had a scratch that bugged me.
For years, I used a Budda Bud Wah, and then a Fulltone Clyde Deluxe, which I plan on keeping. When I get the Dunlop Bonamassa Wah, I'll decide if it's booting the Fulltone off my board, or if I'll keep it minty and used sparingly. I'll know once I've got them side by side. This pedal kicks ass though. It's got sort of a 'wow' as opposed to 'wah.'
I almost wish I could get the Bonamassa Fuzz Face too, just to have the matching copper set. Unless they make a ton of them, these won't ever go down in value, and are likely to be long term collectibles.
It looks to be made better than most Dunlop wah pedals.
