This pedal looks great, but I'm just looking for a wah that activates when you step on it, and automatically turns off when you step off, like with the fractal wah/pitch with the expression pedal. I'm shocked that I can't easily find a stand alone pedal that does that. If you hook the exp up to the cock fight, can it do that? My guess is you have to hit the footswitch on the pedal, then you can use the wah. I don't want that. I want it instantaneous and seamless like the fractal setup. I love the sound of my dunlop wah, but I have always hated the toe switch. I tried to adjust it so it was lighter, touch, but then you'd accidentally turn it off while playing. Or if it's not light touch, I'm having to stomp with all my might to switch the goddamn thing and it fucks up my solo...anybody know of a stand alone pedal like what I'm talking about? I also want the same thing with whammy fx, cuz I guarantee you Gojira uses this setup. Rant over
Thank you my good brother it worked like a charm! And I'm pretty stupid when it comes to working with tools and guitars and stuff like this so really appreciate your help! Thanks from the bottom of my empty heart Lol 😂
I purchased a new one today, there was NO SWITCH inside the unit. Upon closer investigation, it appears an old Rev C version ended up in a new box. If buying one, ask to crack it open and see the insides before purchasing.
Hi, check out the video at the 43 second mark for the location of the switch. I just opened and verified against two other units and the switch is there on those units as illustrated in the video. This information is for the stomp box style unit only and does not pertain to the Wah version if that is what you own. I've not heard of counterfeited versions of this pedal but that may be possible if you did not purchase from a dealer. You may want to reach out to your dealer for a replacement.
@@seannaylor33 Checked and double checked, no switch in there at all. I am taking it back to the store, I think it might be a Chinese fake. There is definitely something weird going on because the instructions mention the switch.
@@trevorarthurson6815 Wow, yeah, I would definitely take her back. If the store is a dealer, they should be made aware to ensure that the manufacturer didn't either make a mistake or that they took a fraudulent return of a fake. Like you mentioned, page 2 of the manual also details the switch function. If you get a chance to update your initial comment it would be help as we are trying to ensure we are delivering the most helpful content we can on our videos. Thanks so much.
@@seannaylor33 Yep, this one has a Rev C board, I showed internal pics to the store and they have an updated one in stock and are exchanging it. Thanks for the replies, it was your video that helped me decide to buy the pedal. I’ll be exchanging the pedal this afternoon (Australia time). Can’t wait to plug it in. 😁
@@seannaylor33 Update, all of the store’s new stock are the old, obsolete version. Electro-Harmonix uses Australia as a dumping ground for their obsolete products. They are packaging outdated versions of the Cock Fight stomp as the current version and selling them off as current stock. Australians can only buy EHX’s trash.
This was a great video, I definitely prefer the fuller NF3 sound. I appreciate the highlights of each and the fair comparison! I didn’t love the silver sky when I tried it but did have fun playing the SE Swamp Ash, decided to hold off and try the NF3 thanks to these sounds
Amazing how similar they sound if you take away the gain/hottness differences. I listened back and forth and the tone character is not that different. but the breakup/gain is noticeably hotter in the PRS. Not buy a ton - almost like a subtle transparent overdrive was added. I had a PRS Silver Sky original (which I liked but did not love), but just purchased the PRS SE NF3 - looking forward to hearing it out of my Dr. Z amp.
Sorry if I have missed it, but I did not catch you mentioning the difference in scale length (25.5" on the Silver Sky, 25" on the NF3). Might not be a big issue for others, but since I prefer 11s on S-style guitars, the PRS scale length is definitely more comfortable. Great and detailed comparison. Sound-wise it is pretty much what I expected, I prefer the Silver Sky clean and the NF3 with some drive. Being an unhappy owner of a Fender Ultra Strat (not voluntarily, but I did absolutely need a noiseless Strat for some jobs), I will jump on the NF3 instantly - a better sounding guitar with a better neck at less than half the price, what's not to like.
Great note on the scale length difference. I missed that point on my overview. Definitely something that some players would find important. Thanks for catching that. -Sean
I know that guy! That's Sean from my local George's Music in North Wales , Pa. Sean and his staff know their stuff in and out. I've dealt with all of them and it has always been a wonderful experience. Nice comparison here Sean . You've given true points for each guitar so the listener can determine which one will suit their needs based on the highlights you've mentioned and shown here. You and your staff Rock, and you have the best guitar repairman around in Bruce Hames who has been my guitar fixer for 30 years.
@@MrShadowofthewind Ok if you say so. I played one at my local shop and even in person it’s terrible with any type of overdrive or dirt. Cleans were just ok. Now I know why near field pickups never took off.
I thought that too until I saw the Matt's Guitars video on it thru a PRS Sonzera amp. Check it out if you get a chance. It sounds better than what it does here probably because of the gain on the Sonzera
Great tip! One trick I was taught is to tune the guitar, then one at a time hold fret each string on the 12th fret and pull the string away from the hole to add tension to the pegs. Then recheck your tune. I’m typically flat after this and tune up into tune. The tune holds much longer after I do this.
WARNING!!!! I just bought this guitar online. And I just received it yesterday. In my 46 yers on this earth I've never played a worst guitar in my life. I'm not even joking. A bet you could pick up a way better guitar from the pawn shop better then this piece of trash. I feel insulted that this was sent to me. When you guitar is perfectly in tune, it's way out at the 12 fret & up. Only 12 fret harmonics work. It must take a lot of work to make something so bad. This guitar isn't worth a hundred dollars, which makes this a crime
When I see entertainers obviously reading all the lyrics, I lose interest. It's ok to have them there as an aide-memoire, but how can you tell the story within the lyrics, if you're simply reciting them? This goes for both sheet music and phone/tablet displays. The most entertaining singers are those who get into character and make the songs believable, and you can't do that if you're reading the words like a karaoke contestant.
