If you ’ ve ever investigated the bass wah scene before then you are probably aware of the existence of the Dunlop Cry Baby 105Q Bass Wah . It is likely the most popular lowend-friendly wah pedal on the market , and for good reason . It really keeps the bottom end solid by only applying the wah effect to the upper range of frequencies , and it also features a proprietary potentiometer and specially designed EQ circuitry to keep things fat and clean . New for 2016 is the CBM105Q , a mini-wah version of the 105Q that offers all the same features in a package not much bigger than a standard sized MXR pedal . Besides coming in an extremely convenient size and sounding awesome with low-frequency instruments , the Cry Baby Mini Bass Wah also has autoreturn switching , making it super easy to use and velvety smooth in function . At just under 120 bucks street price , the tiny CBM105Q is a big winner .
Plutoneium ’ s Chi-Wah-Wah line has garnered a lot of raves from guitar players since its release . The Chi-Wah-Wah pedals are designed to be extremely compact , low noise , and totally bombproof ; they live up to the hype . The bass version of the Chi-Wah- Wah has been optimized for big bottom end , and is ideal for not only bass , but keyboards , baritones , and anything else that can make a gut-rumbling subsonic racket . It is extremely well made ( entirely by hand in the USA , even ) and one of its most striking features is its smooth , ultra-quiet operation . The quality of its buffering is superb , and in operation it is silky and luxurious , with a clean , warm sound and smooth optical actuation with its auto-return treadle . The Chi-Wah-Wah Bass also features a 0.3 second crossfade-like transition when engaging or disengaging the effect , which really makes using it smooth , easy , and foolproof in a live setting .
