wah
Features:
The CLYDE deluxe has some neat additions over the standard CLYDE:
3 way selectable switch
#1 “Wacked” is reminiscent of the old Colorsound wahs....more of a “woooooowww” with
extremely deep bass response. A radical change from the standard wah tones you’re used to.
#2 “Jimi” is our benchmark recreation of the late ‘60’s Vox Clyde McCoy wah wah as used by
you-know-who and Eric Clapton circa Cream.
#3 “Shaft” shifts the whole range up a little to capture the ‘70’s sounds heard on all those funk
classics and bad movie soundtracks!
Adjustable Gain Control
allows the user to not only fine-tune the desired volume level, but to also overdrive the wah a bit
for more overtones and grit. This control ONLY affects the “on” sound because this pedal has
true bypass.....finally you can control your wah volume to the nth-degree!
LED status
a nice bright glowing red LED to tell you when it’s on.... clean sounding PureBypass when off!
Internal Resonance Control:
There is an user adjustable Trimmer inside your lovely new wah that lets you change the gain and
bottom-end (Bass) response...it is located on the circuit board and requires no tools to set.
There is room around this trimmer for you to mark your favorite settings using any type of permanent
marker. With the wah plugged in and amp on, turn the wah over and remove the back plate by loosening
the 4 rubber feet (note: no tools required, just turn counter clockwise until they come out)
With the wah situated in front of you so that the section of the unit with the battery is facing you, notice
the trimmer with a line pointing to a black arrow (this is my favorite setting) for your particular wah) Now
set the trimmer to @ 2 O'clock. that's a stock '60's Vox sound. Turning the trimmer clockwise gets more
gain and Bass.
True Bypass switching is essential for no tone loss when effect is off. The wah is activated by rocking all
the way forward and pressing hard with your foot. This amount of pressure needed to activate effect can
be adjusted for firmer or softer feel....simply contact Fulltone if you have any questions.
The Treadle (part that your foot rests on!) is also adjustable for a firmer or softer feel. This is
accomplished by either loosening or tightening the "nylock" nut on the side of the treadle at the pivot-
point where it connects to the bottom housing. It will stay put until you change it the next time.
I recommend using a Carbon-Zinc 9 volt battery (included) such as the Eveready "Classic" or "Super
Heavy Duty" instead of an Alkaline, which although they last longer, tend to sound harsh. Do your own
experiments.....leave the wah plugged in and quickly change through a couple of different types of
batteries, but keep your amp's volume down so as not to damage your ears or the amp from the noise
when reconnecting the next battery. This pedal is also equipped with a convenient 9 volt DC jack that is
Tip Negative, make note of this, and make sure the adapter you use is the same!!!!!!
