![]() ![]() Hhowever, you can get a lot of sustain, which again makes it more guitar and less mando. It just sounds like an electric guitar and loses its character. I use about 25-50% blend of effects so that the mando accoustic voice is very prominent-too much and it gets swimming in stuff, to swirly muddy. The first 3 above add a bit of depth, pseudo sustain-just ever so little, obviously, with little color. I like delay, chorus, and tiny bit of verb, and. I would recommend one if your mando doesnt have a volume control. ![]() It allows a bit of control with my fixed output piezo. While not an effect, a volume pedal is superb. However, I can get 'super fly' just fine. Let's just say that while I've tried it, Ii dont find it that complimentary the mando voice range. The wah adds, a bit of bite and that percussive aspect, and through my guitar amps (not accoustic types but regular amps) it can be a bit prone to a high shriek feedback at max treble. I purchased this pedal primarily as a volume pedal for jazz, because it does have such a long volume taper to the foot pedal-ie you get slow controllable transitions. The morley is probably, simply put, #t98Y, in terms of wahs, as it has a very long tilt range, so getting good chuka chuka takes some serious foot work. It was never desinged to be used with a piezo. I still use an old 1970's morley power wah, which has wah, volume and boost options, very bright, almost brittle at fullest treble, and if not adjusted with eq, unpleasant. Mando, with its short attack and decay presents an new challenge in applying effects. If theres a lot of reverb, you will want longer notes and phrasing so as not to get muddy, etc This means you have to adjust your playing/timing to the effect, ie if theres a slow pulse, you have to phrase within that pulse. I have been running ti through my amps, twin, marshall 6200, 5E3, BF bandmaster, and a JCM 800. :cool:įunny that you should ask, as i recently bought a rigel a, with piezo. But it probably looks cool from the audience. My pedal is probably on its way out, as its response to the basic forward-backward rocking has diminished, and I get more from pushing the pedal side-to-side. I find the wah a very versatile device, and transforms and greatly increases my instrument's capabilities. The pedal is designed for a different frequency range than what a mandolin provides, so sometimes it seems to act more as a volume adjuster than a tonal one, but that's fine for my purposes. Short sweeps provide a sort of flanging or phase-shifting effect, which comes in handy on slow songs rather than rocking ones - surprisingly enough - as I am able to simulate a pedal steel sound. Most of the time I use the pedal more for what I call "sound sculpting" than a strict "wah-wah" sound. :whistling: I mean, sometimes I've switched over after breaking a string mid-set, until there's time to deal with that, and I've learned how to make it work. It doesn't have nearly as much effect on the acoustic as the electric, but there are times. I use this mostly with my electric, but since my acoustic (with Fishman M100 bridge pickup) goes through the same rig, it's there if I'm of a mind to use it. The signal goes into a gain/EQ pedal (and Boss tuner) as a pre-amp, so the pedal has plenty to work with. I use a Morley Volume-Wah in my Americana band.
