The
Grey Clone was originally designed for Andy Martin of Reverb and Tone
Report fame. I was contacted to build a Vox Grey Clone that had a little
bit extra flare. The pedal needed to nail the tone of the
original 250mh model that was played by Jimi Page in the early Zeppelin
years. Well needless to say we nailed it and people started
asking if we were going to make these available to the public, so here
it is. Modeled after that classic circuit you can achieve
those tones straight out of the box or if you like to tweak a bit there
are plenty of options. Here's what goes into every Grey Clone.
Built with NOS tropical fish capacitors
Carbon Composition Resistors throughout the Wah circuit
BC109B Transistors
NOS Clarostat Hot Potz 1
True Bypass switching. The pedal comes without an LED but one can be added
Fuzz Friendly output buffer, so your pedal works well with fuzz and overdrives
Custom wound Red Sparkle 250mh Inductor made by Joe Gagan
Growl trimmer - adds bass and gain to the circuit if desired or eliminates it
Mid-Range trimmer - adjusts the amount of mid-range in the sweep of the wah
Sweep Range trimmer - adjusts the width of the sweep or depth if you prefer
Boost
trimmer - The Grey Clone has an incorporated boost circuit that allows
you to push the volume far beyond unity gain. Actually I highly recommend not using full boost as it can cause unwanted noise and actually breakup your amp.
6 Position DIP Q Switch - This allows you to dial in a variety of different wah tones.
The pedal also uses Neutrik input and output jacks and runs off of a 9 volt battery or center negative Boss style power supply.
You
also get a one-year warranty on parts and labor. Please see our FAQ
page for what this warranty includes. If you should happen to have any questions about the Wilson Wah V2 or any other Wilson Effects pedal please feel free to contact me through Reverb or by email. Thanks for looking - Kevin
