Ibanez Tone-Lok WD7 Weeping Demon Wah Pedal

Comments about Ibanez Tone-Lok WD7 Weeping Demon Wah Pedal:

Ok.
Been playing since I was a Kid and I'm 47 now.
I've played on a lot of wah pedals over the years, and own quite a few , but THIS one is the best I ever had by far.
What sold me was the Auto-mode.
Yes, there is a bit of latency and if you keep your foot on the pedal without moving it , the pedal will stop the wah function.
Here's what I like about this pedal compared to a Morley or Cry-baby.

The CB adds volume. Which might be cool for a solo.
This has adjustable volume.
The Morley can adjust FQ range via bending the photo cells, but it's a pain.
ANd the morley seems bulky underfoot to me.
Plus, I have to keep adjusting the tension on my old Morley.

What I like about the WD& is,..
Totally adjustable.
FQ range, volume and tension.
This has adjustable volume.
And is also switchable to " normal " footswitch operation
.
Ergonomics.
Feels good under foot!
Seems to be built well, but we'll see.

The only things that would make this pedal cooler, was if it was also a volume pedal, and you were able to store presets.
If it had that, it would be the ultimate. ( albeit , expensive. But worth it !)

There IS a slight latency in auto-mode.
But it's a WAH pedal, and in a live situation,it'll go unnoticed. ( I actually like it! )
For any lead guitarist that wants to have one less switch to click when he's playing live, ( and singing ).
I recomend this pedal.
It will make your job easier.
And it's not expensive.

This pedal has been on my board for 8 years through countless gigs and rehearsals, I don't play without it! I use the Auto-On feature almost exclusively and love how you can dial in the delay for how fast the pedal shuts off when you take your foot off. I found it very easy to dial in my favorite sound, and the Tone-Lok controls ensure that I'll never lose it. I've had all kinds of stuff spilled on it, played it hard and it has never missed a beat. Great pedal!!!

This product is awesome. There are lots of tone options, and as previous commenters have said, you just have to dial it in. However, don't let the metal exterior of the product fool you. It seems durable, but inside the unit there are plastic components that broke on my unit in the middle of a gig. The pedal only works when the pedal is in its upright position. This pedal is connected to springs and plastic components. After about 2-3 years of gigs, a plastic piece inside the pedal broke and now the unit is useless. This plastic piece keeps the pedal upright. So, in essence, now that that the pedal doesn't stay upright, its always engaged. Yes there is a rugged exterior. Unfortunately, the same is not also true of the arguably more important interior. Now I'm debating on simply buying a new weeping demon or switching back over to Morley.

Comments about Ibanez Tone-Lok WD7 Weeping Demon Wah Pedal:

I'm very satisfied with the product. It feels very solid, and I can't really complain about anything.
Sounds are very flexible. Aside from the 3 Tone Lock knobs, there are 2 more below the pedal. Turning off the pedal is done by the bypass switch (which also serves as the battery compartment) on the right side of the wah pedal (so learning how to heel-toe can be useful on this pedal). The wah pedal can also be set to return automatically via a lever beside it
The softer parts (namely, the 2 knobs below the pedal) are not exposed. Most of the components are made of metal. The top of the wah pedal is not made of non-slip rubber, but when wearing shoes, my foot doesn't slip away.
Value may depend from person to person, but when I compared the WD7 beside other products, it feels like a steal with it's feature set and solid build.

I do like that it's completely customizable, but I just can't seem to get it to sound quite like the Crybaby that I so enjoyed. Maybe I just haven't found the right settings yet, but it just doesn't do it for me like the Crybaby did.Overall, it's not bad.

Comments about Ibanez Tone-Lok WD7 Weeping Demon Wah Pedal:

Overall I say buy it.It can copy any wah sound you just have to dial it in but buy the adapter its worth it.
The Tone-Lok Nobs are great they push in so no worrying about breaking or accidentally changing them.One thing you must know is this is a varible wah so it can copy a large range of sounds from metallica too Guns & Roses it can copy the sound you just have to dial it in.
the body,switch and pedal are made of metal and feels extremely durable.
The only problem i have is that it eats batterys it last about 4 hours so i would buy a adapter cause when you add up the cost its worth it

Comments about Ibanez Tone-Lok WD7 Weeping Demon Wah Pedal:

This is the most adjustable WAH on the market. The level, Q, Register, Frequency, Range, Pedal Drag, Spring Pressure and if the unit is spring return or not. The sound quality is very good and is easily shaped and tailored to your tone. It is also a large heavy pedal. I think it use to be the gas pedal from a tank.

Comments about Ibanez Tone-Lok WD7 Weeping Demon Wah Pedal:

I wanted a wah pedal that could do a lot of sounds and this thing is perfect for my needs. Its very versatile and with the controls you can dial in a ton of cool sounds.It has a normal and low switch that effects the wahs tonal range and a fine range control to tweak it even more. With a stomp switch and an automatic mode you can adjust it to your playing style easily. All and all a great pedal for a great price, just spend your time tweaking it and getting familiar with the controls and you'll be good to go.

Comments about Ibanez Tone-Lok WD7 Weeping Demon Wah Pedal:

Not only the best wah Ive owned but one of the best pedals Ive ever used. This thing rocks it can be used for guitar or bass when switched to the bass setting, it has tone lok knobs which keep your settings dailed in, also can be used manually or as an auto on /off
Many usable features more than any wah Ive used before.
Built to last, Metal construction takes abuse and after three years of hard use nothing is loose
Competetively priced and this bad boy can be dailed in to sound like most wahs on the market today

Comments about Ibanez Tone-Lok WD7 Weeping Demon Wah Pedal:

This isnt a stomp on it and hope it turns on kinda wah, as soon as you pitch the pedal forward, it automatically turns on, when you get one you will see how far ahead this pedal is in features and technology.very smooth and very cool to hear the wah come out of the amp you are using. Out of all the wahs on the market,I purchased this one,and i could'nt be happier. G
More features than any wah made, you can tweak this thing til the cows come home, I am not experienced using wahs all that much, but this thing sounds and works great helping you sound like a pro.
very sturdy
tremendous value, compared to all the options you have on this pedal

I like the ability to adjustable the level and tone controls. I use it a home. Im sure it would gig just fine. Ive owned Crybaby and Vox wahs in this price range and this one imo beats them.

Comments about Ibanez Tone-Lok WD7 Weeping Demon Wah Pedal:

The pedal sounds great,but I've been through 2 of these so far and will not be buying another.

The return mechanism inside the pedal has broken twice now. The first time I thought it may have been a fluke, but the second time I know it's because it's poorly designed.

If you're lucky you may get a couple years of use out of it before it finally breaks. The pedal still works but it's stuck in the toe down position and will not return to the off position on its own.

Great range ,adjustable,well built,I am hard on pedals and stompers and broke the foot switch on my 1st weeper it was my fault as I was jumping around and came done on it hard oh well,its tuff enough, no scratchy Pot noise like my Fasel/Duncan crybaby has .Buy one now!

Comments about Ibanez Tone-Lok WD7 Weeping Demon Wah Pedal:

I just received this wah 2 days ago and have to say I'm very impressed. I own CryBaby and Snarling Dogs Blues Bawls wahs and have to play them thru noise suppressors. The Ibanez is soooo much quieter than those 2 and really lets me get the sound I've been looking for. I've got 2 half stacks and several practice amps, and have so far not gotten past my smallest practice amp, a Crate 15 watter with one 12" speaker, I've spent about 4 hours over the past 2 days just experimenting with my Weeping Demon, and wondering why I didn't buy one a long time ago. Anyone considering buying a wah--check out the Weeping Demon 1st--you'll save money by not buying other wahs 1st ( like I did ). Check it out !!!

Comments about Ibanez Tone-Lok WD7 Weeping Demon Wah Pedal:

this is a great pedal and it's insanely tweakable. What none of the reviews point out however is that it doesn't go, "wahhh" it goes "wooow." The actual phonetic sound it makes is an "Oh" sound, not an "Ahh" sound. If you hit the G string open and rock the pedal forward it sounds like your guitar just said the word, "WOW." It's crazy. This is a great pedal but because of this one nagging quirk I will be replacing it with another pedal, probably a Vox or a Buddha pedal.

I've had this pedal for over 2 years. I've never had a problem with it. as far as battery life I couldn't tell you. I gave up on batteries in my pedals a long time ago and use a power supply. This pedal is infinitely adjustable. With auto on or switch on fine tuners for base tone and off delay on the auto setting. I've stomped it, tripped on it, spilled beer on it, dropped it and probably some other things that I can't remember. It still works as good now as it did new. bottom line is, if I can't kill it in 2 years it is very durable. I play a lot of solo's in 80's style rock songs so this thing gets used in almost every song I play. the only thing I don't like is it says Ibanez on it. do yourself a favor and sell your Ibanez guitar so you can buy this pedal, then buy a real axe.

Comments about Ibanez Tone-Lok WD7 Weeping Demon Wah Pedal:

I was really looking forward to playing with this pedal, but as soon as it goes on, your sound weakens and becomes fuzz, maybe it was just mine. It has many features for a wah pedal but the quality of each isn't good. You can change the waves but no matter what I did, it sounded too sharp for me. I returned it because I wanted more of a subtle wah, so I stuck with an origanl cry baby. A little generic but it sounds much better to me and for less.

Comments about Ibanez Tone-Lok WD7 Weeping Demon Wah Pedal:

I just bought this pedal a couple hours ago and it is the best pedal you could ever buy. If you want a good normal wah just leave the black switch to normal. If you switch it to low, its almost to much wah to handle. And the dials are a big help on the intensity of the sound. There is nothing bad about this pedal. Do yourself a favor and go buy this pedal.

Comments about Ibanez Tone-Lok WD7 Weeping Demon Wah Pedal:

This is a really great pedal. It doesn't really sound like a traditional Wah, though.... so if you're looking for that Hendrix vibe, buy a Crybaby. What this pedal does do is FILTER SOUNDS with a great flexibility an uniqueness. I use it kind of like a presence knob, but in pedal form, which allows me to filter my guitar signal much the way Daft Punk filters house beats. The other cool thing about this is that it has two interface settings: one allows you to click the pedal ON with the foot button on the right side of the pedal and then use the "wah" part up and down. The other interface setting engages a spring that makes the pedal only turn on when you tap on the "wah" part of the pedal and then it automatically turns off when you let your foot off. This is a great feature for quick accents and such - you don't have to click the pedal ON all the way in the UP position. Overall, this is an aesthetically UGLY but really unique and functional pedal at a great value.

I've had this for a few years, hasn't died yet but I only use it in studio right now. I love the auto feature but the on-off delay is a little annoying but no more rocking all the way forward to turn it on or off. Seems like I can get just about every type of tone if I experiment with the settings. Very rugged.
