That Pedal Show - Xotic XW-1 Wah Pedal demo

[@TheTinMan123]

I’ve had this Wah since it first come out, and I still have it after all these years, it’s still the best sounding Wah

[@leemichaels406]

I have had one for years... its a life long pedal. If you want something different just re-adjust the controls. I don't have any dropouts what so ever... 110% 👍

[@truthfactreality6814]

I've had this wah for a few weeks now and can confirm it's ridiculously awesome !! Best wah ever !!

[@chrisegg7936]

finding these early TPS vids are like finding an early demo from one of your favorite bands

[@danjack-son4871]

Just bought mine yesterday and love it!

[@darrenlivingstone]

I was fortunate enough to win this pedal today in a Guitar Guitar giveaway - getting delivered tomorrow and can't wait to try it out after seeing how much fun you both have with it. I love the camaraderie and how laid back this demo was; I had fun along with you!

[@denomdemon]

After all these years, how are you getting on with it?

[@yoavparson1455]

8:25 sold!

[@shamzamri3442]

The best wah for fuzz pedal. Get along really well.

[@YMESYDT]

I love watching these old episodes back and hearing how monotone Dan was :)

[@jdavis.fw303]

Man, I was already thinking of getting one of these due to the tweak-ability of it and the small size, but hearing it seals the deal. Thanks for another extremely informative and entertaining video!!!

[@TheGigRigDaniel]

+Jonathan Davis it's a really great wah ;)

[@twezzo99]

WARNING: This might be the best wah pedal on the market for studio work. BUT: There is a moment of silence when you turn it on, it just doesn´t kick in immediately. You won´t be able for instance to play Voodoo Chile Slight Return without annoying interruptions of the tone signal - unless you leave the wah wah effect on for the whole song.

[@davesava6e245]

That doesn’t matter when you play with a full band. Lmao. You playing alone in your room?

[@twezzo99]

I bought a cry baby for live use. The pause is there, in any setting. In the case of Voodoo Chile, there can´t be any kind of break between clean and wah guitar.

[@wordofmouth7679]

This and the John Petrucci wah are the two best around right now. Great review. Getting one.

[@YellowBrickFloyd]

One important point about the features (may have been missed?)....It has a fuzz friendly buffer! You can place this "prior to" a germanium fuzz and it sounds awesome! I believe the buffer is only on when pedal is engaged and otherwise is true (relay) bypass. If I am not mistaken. Also, the footswitch is easier to engage than other wahs ....you don't have to stomp like killing a bug.

[@damianrjames]

best review on this pedal i've seen and such tasteful playing from you guys! love it!

[@j.l.1427]

Well you guys sold me in just a few seconds from 3:00-3:07. Thanks!

[@michael_caz_nyc]

I'd love to see A Wah Comparison: Xotic, Fulltone Clyde Deluxe, MXR CAE, Budda, RMC, Teese, Area51, Vox

[@MOAB-UT]

Xotic uses a relay which is super nice for turning on/off without having to stomp. Tones are similiar to others. Looks cooler and smaller. I did not like the CAE as much.

[@derekchapman5167]

I came across this video today, as I wanted an Xotic, and what sold me was the Grange Hill theme (which I'll learn the instant the Xotic is delivered)!!

[@glenbason1892]

Great sounding wah, love that!

[@paulduke9296]

You guys are having way too much fun!!! Knock it off!!! LOL But seriously kids, I love this Xotic Wah Pedal... Great demo... Now I've gotta get one soooon!! Maybe today!

[@spencercox4092]

After having watched TPS for years without seeing this video, i am disturbed to hear a laugh from Dan that is not inaudible

[@grahamdolsen8507]

Vintage that pedal show episodes

[@Stamos6669]

Dan seems either tired or sick or something here; his voice sounds very subdued and different!

[@shanezane6230]

pro tip: watch series at instaflixxer. Been using it for watching loads of movies during the lockdown.

[@ryanmatthias728]

@Shane Zane Yea, have been watching on InstaFlixxer for months myself =)

[@paytonclyde4820]

@Shane Zane Yea, I have been watching on instaflixxer for years myself =)

[@carmelojackson1881]

@Shane Zane Definitely, been using instaflixxer for months myself =)

[@Gruntle]

Probably from smoking so much crack.

[@Crazykiwi2]

Dan did not get the Grange Hill reference. I have an XW-1 and it's a fabulous wah. Doesn't get the recognition it deserves.

[@Guitar_Smasher]

Good luck stomping the switches on the King of Tone!

[@michaela9817]

I always learn so much watching your videos. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience.

[@luckylicks3497]

7:07 ..people seemed to notice only after the XW-1 that many a wah pedal has indeed been made to be tweakable: Area 51, RMC, Wilson Effects..

[@TheGigRigDaniel]

+LuckyLicks yeah, there are some really great wahs out there now

[@michelmoe]

Hey, guys. Just wanna say that not only you do have one of the best gear review channels but also the funniest! The content is always so good and I can tell you're both having lots of fun because you really love what you're doing. That's just awesome! I'm a fan. LOL =D

[@רוןסטלקול-ו7ג]

best pedal show on youtube. this pedal sounds great as well

[@cobravinci]

Sounds fantastic with the strat!!!

[@StillYDGN71]

these guys are hysterical!

[@harrybee3093]

This time long again, but not boring 😇

[@liam421]

Great demo guys and as always very informative and entertaining. 👍

[@KowboySantos]

sold!

[@eggman1978]

I think this is the wah pedal for me

[@martijnvanspaendonck7989]

This is the best wah ever! I bought the Cry Baby SLASH classic wah because it has true bypass and LED's (also because it sounds good, but it has too much low end and is too loud), but this one has so much more! And that sound! I'm gonna have to buy it..

[@guitar66078]

love these videos!!!! keep them coming!!

[@titouyou1]

Nice, as usual. By the way, love your slippers Mick !

[@mattiv1]

Damn, Dan is so hangover here. Cheers :D

[@haveguitar]

Great review, thanks for that! 🤘

[@marlonharvey278]

The Exotic stands out to me.

[@mollers92]

Best get the Mrs to hide the credit hard... I always end up down the rabbit hole watching these videos haha

[@9999plato]

Ill take the dunlop 535 that does the same thing but leaves off bass and treble but gives a boost. It's much less costly than the xotic.

[@rolanddeschain2120]

2:37 When did you guys get a Sasquatch mascot for dialing in the tone knobs?

[@TheXavisasuke]

Can you make a video about something to panning or similar effects.? please cheers greats videos guys...

[@hgostos]

I have a Roger Mayer Red Lion wah and a JEN Cry Baby with the green Fasel inductor. Don't need another wah but this one is really, really, really sweet.

[@RotoSphere]

Do you like how green Fasel sounds?

[@hgostos]

it sounds great. bright in a good way.

[@tomthumb4325]

Whatever you are drinking I need some because when I drink and try to play my guitar its feels like I'm playing with boxing gloves on

[@redantares]

Best an d FUN review ever!!

[@10brucelees]

Excellent

[@adrianleiva5884]

Great Guys.-

[@jensenbell]

I'm sold. It has always been about the Fulltone Clyde Deluxe for me... but I'm ready for more. This is clearly more. Does it get along with germanium Fuzz (Mk 1 Tone Bender?). I will keep searching the interwebs to find out

[@brianpatrick6102]

Sounds great, love the size, but damnit! It took me years to find a wah that I liked, I'm sticking with my MXR/CAE wah. Quite versatile in its own right.

[@TheGigRigDaniel]

Yes, they're great also. In hindsight we should have done a comparison, but it's great you've finally found a way you like :)

[@raypolakovic1290]

+Daniel TheGigRig It's not too late! Not just wah comparisons, but signal chain and gain management as well. I have such a love/hate with my wah. When it's good, it's funky-licious and fantastic. When it's bad, it's a gritty, screaming beached humpback whale. Help!

[@JohnAyala18]

Great video! Definitely subbing! Keep it up :)

[@CBGypsy03]

Robin Williams turning them knobs??

[@grahamkelly8299]

Back then Dan was always hungover!!😅

[@lpdog]

No way you can click that KoT on or off with the wah in front, Lind of negates the advantage of the wah being smaller.

[@Peamush]

Are you sure the Q is not controlling the depth rather than the width of the frequency range? It sounded like it was getting more intense, otherwise you would hear the actual note of the frequency more which would sound rubbish, turning it down just made the effect more subtle.

[@Lee-wu2up]

The label is wrong if it's not working as they've described. A Q label means you're adjusting the size of the frequency band.

[@mchlplmr]

Hi Guys, love the show! What is the colorful speaker cabinet under the Hamstead?

[@dannyjonze]

Cheers, all very grown up as usual. I noticed mick's foot on the wah while dan was playing at 09:15, is this because dan's legs packed up already? poor old thing :-)

[@friendsandfuncanada]

I think it's probably just because Mick is closer and they thought it would be funny. If Dan is endorsing this wah pedal I imagine he uses it himself.

[@ramsesespinosa5057]

is that the most close pedal in sound to the italian vox wah?

[@overkill2006]

im curious I bought this pedal and when it is engaged in the up position my guitar sounds muted when I play the higher frets.I also get a volume drop.Why does this happen.

[@edwardlewis8045]

Clapton uses active pickups....at least all of my Custom Shop Clapton strats do.

[@mohamedfazalimohamedali7750]

Hi Daniel TheGigRig have u try it wah before or after fuzz face mini germanium? Damn my wah CM95 Clyde McCoy need to be after the FFM2

[@MrDavemiley]

I have tried almost every wah pedal out there, is there one that does not cut down the Highs when plugged into it ? All I have tried does a noticeable tone suck .

[@bbi64e]

Is this the first video where Mick isn't wearing that spiffy shirt with the odd-pattern pocket square?

[@robertwhite9824]

Imagine how much we would learn from Danny and Mickey if they would simply stop flirting with each other and jam.

[@jefferybanditos666]

Why did you feel the need to make "gay jokes" about them in multiple comment sections for this wah? Strange

[@shorttadam]

am I the only one who noticed Mick playing grange hill intro music!

[@gregantonowicz2818]

Yeah... what’s with Dans voice?

[@robtownleyofficial]

Hey Dan - what's the noise level like ? I have a Dunlop Joe Bonamassa Wah which sounds great but it's very hissy when used with distortion etc

[@Musicsports]

Five years ago, however, there is virtually no noise with the Xotic Wah. The Fulltone Deluxe is very quiet as well. The Xotic Wah and Jam Waackoo Wah are my favorite wah pedals of all time. Both very expensive as far as Wah pedals go. Get what you pay for. TD

[@robtownleyofficial]

@@Musicsports thank you!

[@jimkiousis]

Hahaha nice one !!

[@shtzweak]

Did dan run his voice through a wah?

[@jordanlmcgrath4883]

Does it have a volume boost?

[@NebulaStudios1]

I have active pickups.

[@chrohm]

what pedalboard co. is the board?

[@JohnPriceJNPMusic]

Are you running the Wah In front of the switcher or in a loop of the switcher?

[@TheGigRigDaniel]

Hi John, straight in front. It has a really great true bypass and seeing as you have to step on it anyway, it makes sense to me to have it straight in the front :)

[@JohnPriceJNPMusic]

Daniel TheGigRig Thank you!

[@JackBealeGuitar]

Daniel TheGigRig I was wondering the same thing

[@A_Rider_On_The_Storm]

these guys always seem like they shared a joint before recording.

[@mrAbelaAbela]

Only to me it sounds like a "normal" crybaby with more knobs? By the way, love the Rmc10

[@ThePowersThatBeef]

Daniel, what's the name of your band please?

[@TheGigRigDaniel]

Hi Pete. It's 'Tin Spirits'. :)

[@ThePowersThatBeef]

Daniel TheGigRig I checked it out. Nice band, and you can sing too!!! :-)

[@titouyou1]

Had a look too. Nice stuff. Dan, aren't you all Wishbone Ash addicts ? Twin guitarists enjoying playing together, bass guitarist presence, and strong drummer. Reminds me Live Dates album that I brought back to France at that time. I Still play it at home :-)

[@dubravkokozjan8355]

If that wah wah will have its optical brother I will bought it in a split of a second. Because in real life and real gig when you are playing guitar and sing at the same time, it is not easy to use wah pedals with switches

[@teocoras]

Dan sounds a bit under the weather.

Yes Dan's arm has earned him the nickname 'Chewy'....Lol!

[@robertwhite9824]

maybe dan sounds different today cuz he didnt get a dose of Mick in his throat today, lol. Seriously. These guys are gobbling eachother up! Dan is probably pissed cuz mick was flirting with the guy holding the camera....Dont worry, they probably had a nice "makeup dinner" ..candlelight, wine, the works. His throat will be lubricated soon enough.

shave ur hands plz

[@er1cmaurer]

You don't need to shave your arms, just trim them. Damn....

Its funny how dan pretends to know the engineering aspects of the pedals...just play and be gay jeez... Fiddle with the knobs and tell us a general description of the function and PLAY! Leave the engineering up to engineers dannyboy!
