You are viewing an "As New", Mint condition, NEVER USED Fulltone Clyde Standard Wah. A few years ago, I "had a plan" to do several things with a pedal board that I never ended up doing. Now is your chance to purchase a rare, discontinued Fulltone Clyde Standard Wah for an excellent price.From The Informational Instruction Sheet:- Inductor: This Wah has a tuned-core, hand-made unit using exactly the same type wire and inductance as the '60's era Vox. A tuned-core inductor is much more expensive to make, but the end result is worth it. This Wah inductor also has a MuMetal cover that rejects stray hum fields, eliminating the 60 cycle hum that plagues Wahs. Clyde Wah's are very quiet because of the excellent RF rejection that its thick steel enclosure offers.- Potentiometer: The most overlooked part of the circuit, and one of the keys to a good Wah Wah sound and performance. It's not just about the pot's resistance value, it's also about the "taper" chosen for the pot. The Fulltone Wah pot is just like the '60's Icar brand pot used in the vintage Vox wahs. The pot has a triple-screened carbon composition track giving a minimum 500,000-turn lifespan. The Fulltone Wah pot's taper offers a fast transition at the mid-point for more vocal performance, just like the ones used in the '60's and '70's by Clapton, Page, and Hendrix.- Enclosure: Traditional wah housings don't allow for enough travel to fully utilize the wah pot's range, limiting its tonal sweep, and they offer no adjustability for the pedal pressure.The Fulltone Clyde's treadle with much more travel than Vox-type enclosures and included nylon pivot points with nylon nuts, so you can adjust the tension of the treadle to exactly the pressure you desire. Clyde's have true bypass switching so that when they're "off", nothing is coloring the sound or ruining the performance of other pedals in the signal path.- Power: Clyde Wah's are powered by a 9 volt battery or via a standard regulated 9-volt supply offering a 2.1mm plug configured "negative to center." The Clyde's power section has anti-hum filtering and reverse-polarity protection, so you won't accidentally ruin it by connecting AC instead of DC, or the wrong polarity power supply.- Buffer: All Fulltone Clyde Wahs come with a switchable "Hi-gain friendly" JFET booster/buffer circuit allowing you to kick up the volume to any level necessary, letting the Clyde work better in hi-gain amp situations, and isolating the Clyde from anything that follows it in the chain. The booster/buffer is not activated when the pedal is off, as Fulltone Wahs are True-Bypass. The three differences between the Clyde Standard and the Clyde Deluxe are that the Deluxe has a variable input knob, a LED status indicator, and a 3-way Voice switch offering "Wacked", "Jimi", and "Shaft" modes. The Clyde Standard utilizes only the "Jimi" mode.- For sale only in the 48-contiguous United States. No sale to Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, or international locations.- Free shipping
