Dunlop Announces New Wah for Bassists

January 28, 1999 -- Musically designed by bass players with an emphasis on the low end, the 105Q Ultimate Bass Wah boasts new custom EQ circuitry that allows for greater tonal resolution, creativity and control in the low bass frequencies, along with a new proprietary potentiometer. Its custom tapered sweep and added pedal travel offer a natural feel for maximum control.

The 105Q Ultimate Bass Wah also includes Dunlop's celebrated "Q" control, which provides full control over the pedal's intensity and sound modeling. With the "Q", the player can select the exact wah tone desired, from bright and punchy to warm and subtle.

Simply stepping on the pedal engages the effect in the lower register, creating a smooth transition into the wah effect. When you remove your foot, silent auto-off switching automatically bypasses the effect. The built-in spring automatically returns the pedal to its "off" position.

Also included in the pedal is an adjustable volume control, allowing the player to tailor the level of the wah from almost silent to a significant increase, providing extra gain for wah-enhanced solos.

Dunlop endorses Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Rex of Pantera, Danny Saber Producer of Black Grape and the Rolling Stones' Bridges to Babylon will be featured in our 105Q Bass Wah "Live to Play Live" ad campaign, which will run through the end of 1999.
