Peter Honoré from Westside Distribution is demonstrating the T-Rex Gull Wah Pedal.
THE WAH-WAH THE WORLD'S BEEN WAITING FOR.
Along with distortion and delay, the wah-wah is part of the "Holy Trinity" of classic guitar effects. Invented by accident in the 1960s, the wah-wah can make a guitar sing, laugh, cry and scream like human being. It's a pow- erful effect that's helped take solos by Hendrix, Clapton and a thousand guitarists since to the highest echelons of classic rockdom. Now, T-Rex is proud to introduce Gull, our own interpretation of the wah-wah legend.
Two wahs and the long-forgotten yoy.
Many of the wah-wah pedals produced over the decades are very different from each other. And then there are related effects -- like the underrated (we think) yoy-yoy pedal. When we designed Gull, we wanted to bring you the very best that history has to offer -- and then some.
Gull gives you two distinct wah-wah sounds -- a light wah that's great for clean guitars and rhythm parts and a heavy, smoking wah for distorted leads -- plus the unique dual-filter yoy-yoy effect. Yoy-yoy is a basically a wah effect with an ultra-high-frequency sweep soaring overhead. It's an incredibly rich sound.
A classic SLOPE knob lets you shape the character of your way/yoy sweep, and a BOOST function lets you set a higher volume for your output signal when you kick your Gull into action.
A more musical wah.
With Gull, we also wanted to address a complaint many guitarists have with traditional wah-wah pedals: their response. Wah-wahs often jump into action at the slightest touch, leaving little room to work the pedal and build up slowly.
Gull addresses this with a special HOTSPOT button that gives you the option of slowing the onset of the effect and using the whole pedal to "wah" with. It makes Gull respond more like a musical instrument than many legacy pedals do.
We truly believe that the T-Rex Gull is the wah-wah the world's been waiting for. Try it today at your local music store.

But does it have an output buffer for play nicey with fuzz?

@Danthehorse Do you mean like a "Clyde McCoy" type buffer?? Well, It has the "Boost" knob for 20db extra volume/gain. The Boost will react differently if you put it before or after a drive pedal. Hope that helps.

@Cyleak It is a great Wah, I would think one of the most versatile out there. 3 Wah modes, boost/gain, slope and the the "move hotspot" feature which is great. I also think the fact that when you wanna mount the pedal on a board you can take the feet on and the bottom is flat for your velcro and its still screwed on. I have in the past had to gaffa my wah bottom lid on or get smaller screws in order for it to stay on the board, so that is a great solution. Go and try one Im sure you'll love it.
