@@nef36 ahcktually that makes it a primary color for everything because color is just a wave of light that isn't absorbed by an object

@@MarceyTalks let me clarify: red is only a primary color for light emitting objects. Paint and ink do not emit visible light, and thus red is not a primary color for then; cyan, magenta, and yellow are.

Thanks for the review Max, I decided to get one after watching this and I am elated beyond words. I have been searching for a WAH that had a deeper "scoop" than my cry-baby and less tone dampening, I also have been itching for a volume pedal for a while now...Got this pedal and it is absolutely blowing my mind how good it is for the price. Thanks again

[@RawenWarCrow]

For those like me who are in Europe, Thomann got it for €79 with no charge for shipement. Man, I love your videos, you're not only a great player, you also give us great advices on affordable stuff, wich is (litteraly) priceless. Thanks a lot and cheers from France

[@nicktaylor5264]

Just got one of these because of this video - it's really good. Love it. It's the 5th wah that I've tried now, and I think this is the one. I prefer the ones that turn out without having to click a knob, but I guess I can live with that. I usually have a volume pedal right at the beginning of the chain... and a wah at the end (before compressor and reverb)... it's really cool being able to have a volume at both ends of the chain. So like, thank you :)

[@PhillipLandmeier]

Fantastic. Thanks for posting this. You just saved me money and solved a problem. I want a volume pedal and a wah pedal, but I don't have room on my pedalboard for both. I'm not going to use both of them simultaneously, obviously. Combine them into one pedal. Plus, this pedal is small. Wonderful. I already have one Joyo pedal, the Deluxe Crunch, which is built well and works well. This wah pedal will be my next purchase. I'm an electronics engineer, and I suspect the "quality" control is confusing to people, but it's perfectly ordinary in electronics engineering. A full explanation of this would be difficult here, especially without being able to draw or show graphs. When you're talking about tuned circuits or filters (like a wah pedal or thousands of circuits used in radio and many other things), there's a factor or figure that we call "Q". Q originates from the word Quality, and dates back almost 100 years. It refers to the sharpness of the tuning of a tuned circuit -- how narrow the passband is or how sharply a filter cuts off. Today, it has nothing to do with good or bad, and that's where the confusion arises. It's a number that defines the frequency response of a tuned circuit. So a wah pedal with its filter set to a relatively low Q gives a smoother, less radical response. A relatively high-Q response gives the more radical sound of, say, Jimi Hendrix playing Voodoo Child. This technical part you can skip: Q is an actual number that varies from 0 to around 100 in practical circuits you can build with ordinary components (inductors and capacitors). (Digital filters allow circuit Q much higher than this.) In a tuned circuit (resonant), say in a conventional radio, consisting of an inductor (L) and a capacitor (C), the Q is easily calculated by dividing the inductive reactance of the inductor (in ohms) by the DC resistance of the inductor (in ohms). That's the Q. Back in the earlier days of radio, sharp, narrow tuning was a desirable thing. To get that you needed high Q. All kinds of methods were developed for winding coils (inductors) so they gave the highest reactance with the least resistance, resulting in higher Q and sharper tuning, so it was natural to call this factor "quality". And that's where the term comes from originally. If you know the Q of a tuned circuit, you can graph the frequency response curve directly.

Just received this pedal and its my 1st wah ever. Bought it secondhand like new for $30 so i think its a great deal for me. And i rly like it and the volume is good as addition

[@federicomanuti9742]

Love that red joke. Especially the delivery.

[@davidkulmaczewski4911]

The "Quality" knob controls the shape of the filter, which is often called the "Quality Factor" or just "Q". It does in fact measure the "quality" of the filter, in terms of how much of the signal's energy is preserved as it passes through. For a wah pedal (or a typical LPF on a subtractive synthesizer), "Q" is a measure of resonance... the higher the Q, the more resonant the filter.

[@kainx99]

For those of you with a tigher budget, A couple months back, I was in the market for a cheap wah pedal, and bought a Behringer Hellbabe, which has a very similar feature set, lower price (I bought mine for 60$ CAD on Amazon), and I get a 9-volt battery compartment thrown in for good fun. Form factor is bigger, and it's plastic, so perhaps durability may be an issue in the long run. But you get the same boost/wah double feature

[@pabloveloso5790]

Difference between them is hellbabe uses optics. This one uses pot. I guess

[@melodica5407]

1. Does it make popping sound when engaged in true bypass mode? 2. Does it suck tone when off?

Q control: intensity focused or wide frequency of filter. Similar to a Crybaby. 595 wah.

[@bobpickwoad8968]

Got mine today. Very nice but 2 issues (1 at least for me): I had to trim the two rubber bumpers under the rocker. They wouldn't allow enough movement to depress the switch. I took off about 1/16" and all is well now. My other issue is the color of the lettering on the pedal. My eyes may be going but I find it hard resolve the silver letters against the bright red/orange case. My problem, just whining. Other than that I haven't had a lot of time on it yet but it sounds great with my current rig. well worth the coin.

[@bikerlloyd7692]

Same with me, I dont know why they put that rubber thing when there is button to be depressed

[@eduhudtwalcker]

A mistake on minute 2:40, that a minimum volume control, not a boost, you can put that to zero so what your heel is down you are muted, or you can adjust it to another level so that when your hel is down you still get volume, so it adjust the minimum volume you get, it says so on the knob !

[@gnikwahandbeethoven2631]

Aye max Your videos are always fun to watch...I guess everybody loves to see guitars and gears being tried out Also apreciate your budgetfriendly guitar videos...have led to some purchases I also find it amazing how your playing changed over the years, you definitely found your own tone Wish you all the success Greetings from Germany

[@stephencarter6392]

Thanks for making my mind up for me. My old Dunlop Vox wah gave up the ghost. Was looking around. Saw the Joyo. Was concerned about the quality and the sound. Boom! You addressed both, quite well. Smaller size= less real estate on my pedal board. Plus price is half that of a cry baby. Boom! Too many positives to resist! I'm buying one at Amazon now! THANK YOU!

It’s just missing an auto wah switch that would be adjustable with that rotary knob that’s already on there and maybe a smaller pedal gives you more control on the sweep can’t tell though, I didn’t really hear that thicker wah he was totin and is it really his new favorite pedal though?

[@ymelfilm]

I chose the Sonicake expression , passive volume pedal becase I did not know whether this Joyo has expression function or dont.

[@John-de5bg]

Nothing wrong at all with that sound . I'm looking for one , need some half- cocked vibes . This pedal does the task nicely .

[@ScottysAnimals]

So I clicked the link in the description and I ordered this beauty. I am happy with! I was going to get a crybaby or some other wall like I used to have back in the day. What I like about this is you can control the dynamic range of the wall and you can also control the center the point of the frequency with the dial. I haven't played much with the volume function but no doubt you can make so many sounds. I played this through my Mesa Boogie tube amp band The tones I was getting sounded so good. When you dial in the right frequency on your guitar and then get the center point of the frequency to where you want it you can create some amazing tonal variations and also have your foot where you want it to be. This means if you want a really warm tone going into a slightly higher frequency you can do that or if you want a nice fat mid-tone going into a nice bright sound you can also set that up. I spent well over an hour just playing the same basic sound and moving knobs around and then changing the sound a little bit and doing the same thing. If you need a wah-wah pedal, this one is awesome. I hope it is durable. But if it lasts a year and then breaks I would probably just replace it with this one again. Its versatility would excuse some durability issues if there were any but I won't be taking this from place to place too much. This is part of my studio setup.

[@JPMonstie]

Red’s definitely in my top three primary colours which shouldn’t detract from me wearing black 98.5% of the time.

[@IAmWatcher]

3:25 a step-knob? It's called an x-way or x-position selector switch, with x being the number of positions you can select. I think this pedal has 6. You could've spent more time on showing what the selector switch various settings do and the various sound colors you can create, instead of showing off your guitar techniques. Other than that (and the primary colors remark LOL) the first part is clear and informative for folks considering buying the pedal, like me... thanks 🤘

[@aletins10]

I've this pedal and I like it very much.

[@MrTimThunder]

I love that you mentioned Blind Guardian

[@riffdigger2133]

Great for the price and compact for a pedalboard. The Crybaby 535Q with the big Q knob and the distortion button make it my favorite as others have mentioned. Plus the 535Q comes with a nice diagram card to adjust the multiple settings to Jimmy Page, Hendrix and about 5 other players and I found that helpful. Wah pedals do breakdown so this would be a good back-up or alternative.

Great demo Maxx. Ordered one to try it out as it solves a space issue on my board and adds volume pedal option/functionality.

[@Sushi_Overdose]

I have one since a couple of weeks : the wah is cool but I'm having issues with the volume. When I toe down completely, I have a volume boost, so when I switch to wah, there's a volume loss. Also it's really anoying with humbuckers since I kills my clean sound, it gets a bit crunchy... Does it happen with yours too ?

[@erikeue4635]

Cool thanks Max, I like the adjustable wah range, and also the volume feature. Sold!

[@samhainlimon]

Good review Max. I have it and I love it for all that you describe. Here are a few things I found as I owned it. It does the sudden cut at the bottom so swells take practice. I have yet to find the perfect volume wah combo pedal that does it all perfectly. The rest of the stuff this does is great. My major issue is that this seems to be wearing out after 6 months. The action of the pedal is starting to get play and a little loose and so it affects the accuracy of control on both wah and volume. I haven't figured how to adjust that issue. Tools would have to be really small or specialized. I put it through relatively heavy use. Probably 3-4 times a week 1 hour. I will see if joyo replaces/stands behind it and see how long the next one lasts. Dunlop are mostly bullet proof but that costs. I'm trying mooer next

[@willdenham]

The price and volume option sell it, with the extras just nice.. My budget wah is the Artec APW-7 "Whish wah" tha does wah, bass wah, and has a mode where the wah will begin o produce a self-oscillatig pitch which is "tuneable"...It operates with no moving mechanical parts, and has true bypass... at a comparable price where I see it.
