Hatsubai « Not too bad »

The most notorious wah user finally gets his own signature wah pedal. In the past few years, I don't think anybody has used a wah pedal as much as Kirk has. In fact, it's become a bit of a joke because he uses it so much, so I'm surprised it took this long for him to get a signature wah pedal. This one is pretty much just a straight forward wah pedal tailored to Kirk's specs.
UTILIZATION
These pedals are built like tanks. They can withstand nearly anything you throw at them, short of spilling your beer all over them. The casing is extremely durable, and you can chuck it across the room without much of an issue. About the only thing that occurs is dust and grime getting inside the pot, but you can just spray some contact cleaner in there to fix them, most of the time. The wah is extremely easy to setup, and everything is laid out in an easy to understand matter. The manual also does a great job at explaining everything for you.
SOUND QUALITY
Kirk has been known for his rack wah usage. Considering this lacks the versatility of the rack wah, some might be taken aback by that aspect. However, Dunlop says that they took his main wah settings and built it into this pedal. As for it sounding like Kirk, I guess it does. I mean, slap a wah on any pentatonic lead tone, add some awful vibrato and you instantly have the standard Kirk sound. The wah sounds pretty good by itself, and I could easily see myself gigging with it.
OVERALL OPINION
If you can get over the ugly skull footprint or whatever that thing is, the wah is a pretty good wah. It sounds solid, has some good range and I even like the green burst paintjob. That said, it's pretty expensive for what it is. I'd much rather just get the standard 535Q or even a GCB95 instead of buying this. If they didn't have to pay royalty fees for this thing, it might actually be worth buying.
