The Waza has a Custom mode which can be adjusted to sound very amp like, it easily holds up with the boutique BE-OD and SLO pedals.

The waza one supposedly does overdrive well to…. Not that… that would matter… at all… but that’s what they say… those who doesn’t say it loud… more like whispering it so they don’t get in trouble.

That first clip

Metal zone is legend. Do you dig the BE-OD though?

I have a BE-OD Deluxe that I really, really like. I have the gain cranked way down on the internal trim pots, and goose it with a Sparkle Drive Mod. Instant eighties goodness.

 

[James Freeman]

Do you dig the BE-OD though?

Yes, it's very amp like. I still like to use my diode-less SD1/TS to tighten things further along with the 'tight' control on board.

 

[maguchi]

Hell ya! Don't need no  W though.

What type of amp-speaker platform are you enjoying for the Custom mode?

For years every cork sniffer and their brother pooped on this pedal. I loved it from day one. Bought one as soon as they were available. The parametric EQ was an actual game-changer in its day.

Same, if you can’t get a tone on this it’s you.
The first thing people didn’t get was tone controls that actually worked. BUT that meant you needed to be able to dial it in because you can make terrible noises if you want.

Anyone using it straight into the FX return of a tube amp? I’ve heard chatter from way back suggesting that’s the best way to use them.

Not me, it sounds great into a clean preamp if set correctly.
Even the Standard mode sounds great on the Waza version if set right, they fixed the pre-emphasis eq in both modes so it doesn't have the 'honk' anymore just a great sounding high gain pedal.

I wonder how it would pair with an LXII?

I guess I’m going to have to chase one of these down if I see a deal. My teen friend group had a MIJ one we passed around for years and the honk was precisely the reason we didn’t get along with it.

It wasn’t a boogie honk, it was a weird digitech RP-1 kind of honk. No bueno.
