How's that Q-switch treatin' ya?

[robinc]

I believe I read something about that but now I can't quite remember what it said. What would the boosted levels be? And how would that work, is there a boost switch that you can flip?

Would anyone be able to post a sound clip of the wah-wah sound that is supposed to be doable with a filter and Q? I would be very grateful!

You can hear it near the end of this clip:
 
double doubleneck
 
I had just received the bass when I recorded this track - I don't know what possessed me to do it! It's a Series I (doubleneck) and I probably had the Q switch on +6, though it could have been +9 since I was putting it through its paces.
 
No wahwah on this one, but I was changing the frequency position with each phrase - this one is a Spoiler which only has two positions, and it was definitely on +8:
 
circumambulate
 
Hope this helps!

Very nice! Is that all you? I dig the track, but I'm not sure I heard the wah-wah. I'm listening for an effect like a wah-wah peddle in reggae guitar, but that might not be what it sounds like... I'll have give that some more listening time.
 
the changes in tone are very distinguishable in the second track, though. I can't wait till I have one of my own to play with!!!!
 
thanks for the tracks, Harry.

Robin,
 
I'll go home and quickly record the wah-wah effect + a few basic turns of the filter for you and send it via email as an MP3 if you'd like... is the email in your profile current?

The email is good. Many thanks, Toby!

No problem Robin,
 
I'll get that email off to you sometime late this evening.

[robinc]

Awesome. Much appreciated.

Toby, the clips were extremely helpful. Thanks again! :-)

No problem Robin!
