he said here na general lang paggamit nya,, nor abused or whatsoever..
try to watch..
Saw the vid man.. Damn... that pedal is messed up! hehe. My WD7 is 4 years old now. My gf got me this pedal when we were still in college. Sobrang inalagaan ko to dahil bigay nya kaya naman mint na mint pa walang gasgas whatsoever. Naka flightcase pa ako kaya well protected sha. Take note though that I weigh around 200 lbs kaya kung masisira man to just by the sheer weight of my foot.. matagal na dapat shang nasira.. I dont know what the guy in the video did pero if you dont abuse it and you're lighter than me Im sure its not gona fall apart hehe.
If you're gona buy this pedal though... I hope you realize that whatever you do with it, no matter how much you tweak it.. You will never ever get a classic "wah" sound out of it. I use this pedal much like how Vai uses his Bad Horsie. He uses his wah together with his whammy bar to make wierd sounds. In short, for me its more of an expression pedal than a wah pedal. I make use of its uber wide frequency range during solos to give a little spice and edge to my sound. I dont use it like how Hammett uses his wah where he "wahs" every note. Thats just not what the pedal was built for. Check out my pedalboard demos:
Notice that I switch on the pedal in the toe-down position using the footswitch and I dont even rock it. I just leave it at that position and then I use my Zoom's whammy to make the pedal scream. Why do I even bother clicking it on? At the toe-down position it makes it so easy for me to do stranglehold-babies even with my amp volume at only 20%. In the second video notice how long I held that note at 9:08. That's 17 seconds. And it didn't even decay on me. I could have held that note for days if I wanted to hehe. But I could only make the strings resonate at a certain frequency with my amp infinitely without cranking up my volume to 100% with the help of the Weeping Demon.
I'm not saying you should use it as an expression pedal too. I'm just trying to give you a heads-up.
If you're looking for an old-school, run-of-the-mill, mom-n-pop kinda wah pedal.. to get that "classic wah" sound, you'll be better-off getting a Cry baby
