What wah pedals are you guys using these days?

What’s the deal with the Vertex guy? Seriously, what is the deal with pedals and drama?!?

Many of you reading this know that Mason was exposed last year for having put his label on some cheap, Chinese-built, Wah-Wah pedals and sold them as his own design. This act came back to bite him severely, and most turned and distanced themselves as far as possible.

I haven't had one in years but the one I did have was a horrible tone soak.

do you have an extra loop in your loop switch? Then you could use whatever you wanted along with flange or delay and the shit goes away when you’re not using it.

I kinda wore out my Frampton Gig-Fx wah (not the mechanism but the back plate it mangled where it was 3M’d to my pedal board and stayed put while the wah didn’t ) but if I replace it, I might use the Mega Wah (that can be a volume).

My goodness. It’s like fucking Tiger Beat for beardy middle-aged dudes with garages full of gear.

That said, slapping your name on a cheap wah wah and then selling it as your own premium product is ridiculous/The American Way.

He also claimed to have built pedalboard for artists he didn't work for. Joe Bonnamssa's open letter detailing how badly Mason fucked up his board was entertaining. He advised everyone to stay as far away from Vertex as possible.

"Hey Guys,

I'm sorry to be chiming in so late but I must warn all you fellow gear nerds to stay away from Vertex effects and pedalboard services. Mason is not truthful nor is his work good or in most cases his own. He had me on his site without permission as a user and happy customer. I am/was neither happy nor do I use any of his products. My pedalboard sounded awful, took tons of gain away, and added a huge ground hum. It also cost $1400 and that was after I pitched a fit when the $2000 bill came to my tour manager all the while seeing unauthorized You Tube videos of my " new rig" a rig I never tried nor signed off on. Fortunately Dave Friedman at Rack Systems came in and saved the day for $400. All I wanted and asked for was to have some cables cut to size. I didn't want to waste Dave's time so I gave it to Mason. BIG MISTAKE.... I am very disturbed by his actions and have heard recently that he has been called out on some Wah Wah pedal stuff. Bad News Bear that cat is unfortunately.

So... In closing...
Just trying to keep my fellow guitar nerds from getting ripped off like I was.

Caveat Emptor
Joe Bonamassa."
