In that case, I think it's a job well done for Dunlop. I'm not at all familiar with most of Tool's material, but if someone that likes Tool can hear the comparison then Dunlop have nailed it!
@@LeighFugeGuitar it's supposed to recreate Justin Chancellor's eq and wah settings, but on the lead guitar bits it sounds amazing. I'd buy one for myself but I'm broke.
I think you have the only demo I could find that had sustains and subtle slower playing in the demo, thank you!!! Everyone is just going nuts on this thing lol
If I learned anything as a bass player who got more serious with the guitar is the followig: If it says "bass" on it, it doesnt meand that only bass sounds good through it. I've been playing my guitars through a rig consisting predominantly of things voiced for bass and guitar sounds huge...
Agreed! A friend of mine uses a Bass Crybaby with his guitar rig because he prefers the sweep of the wah over the regular guitar Crybaby’s. If it sounds good, use it!
That's interesting, do you use it as a drive pedal with guitar? I know it's a preamp pedal so it's the sort of thing you could just run into the PA without an amp for bass. Some bass pedals are great tone shapers (I guess because a lot of bassists like to DI) so I can see why they'd be interesting on guitar.
@@LeighFugeGuitar I'm in a band with two bassists and no guitars. I run a spector 6 string which I used to split between a guitar amp and bass amp. (Peavey Windsor and ashdown MAG) this got old hauling it all around, so I used a BDI21 for the bass side, , and a huge pedalboard full of guitar pedals on the guitar side with a mooer radar . It's a huge convoluted setup... then I saw my Favourite Bassist (Morgan Nichols...absolute legend) had a similar setup, but now had designed, with orange, an all in one solution in the Bass Butler. It's a modelled ampeg with a delicious optical compressor on one side, and a Marshall anniversary guitar on the other into exceptional IRs. I just had it modified to have an effects loop put in after the drive. Turn off the bass side and it is an exceptional guitar pedal in its own right.
Yeah exactly, just because it says bass, it doesn't mean it can only be used for bass. I know someone who uses a Bass crybaby with his guitar rig because he just prefers the sound of that wah vs. a regular guitar Crybaby. As long as it inspires you and it sounds good then you're winning!
It's a fun wah, it's actually pretty good on guitar too, I guess even though its voiced for bass, it's not off the table for guitar. It's definitely not a "typical" wah when you use it on guitar, but it's great if you want something a little different.
@@LeighFugeGuitar brent hinds, one of the guitarists of mastodon, uses a dunlop bass wah because it exaggerates the effect and he likes it. if its good enough for him its valid
A mini version would be cool, but I suspect it would be tricky to include all the switching options on a smaller unit. There are a few spring loaded guitar wahs too. My favourite is the Billy Duffy signature Crybaby, but they only made maybe 500 or so... they sometimes pop up on eBay. It's basically a 535Q Crybaby with an extra mode which is modelled on Mick Ronsons wah.
Damn, Thanks a ton for showing us some tones on Bass and Guitar. That is a very useful pedal for both instruments. I didn't think it would translate well just because usually company's want you two buy two different pedals or really 3 in this case. Will be buying this Now
Hey Alex, Thanks for checking out the video and leaving a comment! Yeah it's super versatile, it's surprising how well it works on guitar. Even though the frequency range is tuned for bass, it does sit pretty nicely as a guitar wah. Having the fuzz is a nice, fun bonus too. It's a very versatile wah!
Interesting! I've been looking for a fuzz wah and will have to consider this one. Do you know if the fuzz happens to come before or after the wah? Thanks!
I'm not 100% sure... but I would think before the wah like a typical fuzz. It kinda feels that way to me anyway because the wah is very pronounced, I find when you put fuzz after the wah, it softens the wah sound.
Kinda sounds like Adam Jones on the entirety of Fear Inoculum. And that sounded great.

Thanks for checking it out, glad you liked it. It’s a very easy pedal to go crazy with because it’s a lot of fun to play haha!

I mean Queens of the Stone Age famous guitar tone is cause of them using an Ampeg bass head
Dude! Thanks for doing this! I was looking for a demo of this on guitar for so long! Great video as well.
Hey man! Thank you for checking it out! It's a great sounding pedal, glad you enjoyed it!
13:28 - ME MOIST! That's the Fuzz sound i searched for my base the whole time. And it's a wah! I need to save some money
It’s the best of both worlds! It’s such a fun pedal!
That's awesome!
I wondered how it sounds on guitar, sounds wicked to me!
😎🤙💯
I have an Orange bass butler, and that sounds incredible on guitar as well as bass. I reckon there's a whole untapped mine of bass pedals on guitar.

As I see a lot on the JHS channel - just try stuff!
Love the sounds it’s getting from a 6 string, even more reason to want one!

@@LeighFugeGuitar anything that inspires you to play and create is always a good thing!
This could be a great wah/fuzz on a downtuned guitar board with its lower frequency focus
It would sound amazing with a down tuned guitar! It’s already voiced to handle the lows
Awesome pedal! Have to get this!
It’s really fun! Even though it’s designed for bass, it’s very useful for guitar too and you can get some cool sounds. Very inspiring
Great Demo, sounds effing tite, thank you !!! They absolutely need to make a Guitar Voiced version..!!!!

Great demo. The one difference is that huge sub synthy type territory one gets on a bass when using the U.K. filter... sounds mental on bass.
Spring loaded is why I prefer Bass wah for guitar, Is there a mini version? that thing is huuge!

"Does It Guitar?"
See what I did there? 🤣
I see what you did there... I did a you... but in reverse... I did a bass thing for guitar! haha

No slap?
I slapped a load of fuzz on.... that counts right?
It is a really cool pedal.... Jimi Hendrix would have created it if he was playing bass 😂
I'd love to see Hendrix shred on bass!
Doesn’t know who a Justin Chancellor is? It’s your tongue 😆
I do know who he is… I’ve just never listened to any of his music bar one or two songs because it’s not my thing haha!
thank you for showing clean sound tones... other reviewers just crank this ugly fuzz to the max and make it sound like shit
Give your balls a tug
