Best All Round Wah
Having tried a large number of the wah's on the current market, this one holds up as one of the most feature packed, useful pedals.
One of the things that was most important to me was that the wah pedal be true bypass or at least very high quality buffer. The Fulltone true bypass system is great. When the pedal is off, it's like it is not even there as far as retaining the signal to how it should be. Many of the wah's I have either owned or tested, would roll off a high amount of treble and high mid's from the guitar when in bypass mode, which was a deal break for me as there are only rare times that I need to use a wah, and for the most part of my playing it is off. Having something that makes the signal compromised when off just wasn't worth the trouble. The Clyde makes this a complete non issue.
The different modes on the deluxe version of this pedal are very useful as I found the Jimi setting sounds best with single coils, instant 'Jimi' wah flavour. The 'wacked' setting seems to work best with hot humbuckers, so it is nice to be able to choose these modes to suit which guitar I am using at the time. The wacked setting I would compare to something like a Bad Horsey wah or a Dunlop modern voiced wah. All 3 modes on the Clyde Deluxe however, use the same inductor.
The full metal pedal housing and bottom plates are very robust, and due to the shielded inductor, doesn't audibly hum when near other pedals or power sources as some other wah's do. The output buffer (not to be confused with true bypass/buffer bypass systems) allows you to use a Fuzz pedal or very high gain amp after the wah without any problems and simply, it allows it to just work right as you would want it too. The only thing I would change is perhaps to have the output buffer foot switchable with a kick switch as opposed to a flick switch as when changing back and forth between the clean and dirty channels on an amp, the clean channel with the wah with full output on the buffer, suddenly becomes very loud. A foot switch button on the side (like the CAE wah) could be useful to get around this.

Fulltone Clyde Wah Deluxe
Great wah with plenty of features - you get 3 different wah's and buffer as well in one pedal!
Clyde Wah deluxe is well built, looks and fells heavy-duty made. I really enjoy LED indicator - I often had to double check if I have turned the pedal off when using other wah pedals and finally I have this fear no more!
As there are 3 different wah settings you will definitely find the one you like. Works great with fuzz pedals no matter if it's in front of them or behind - that also was the reason I bought it! What was pretty strange that it started to work better with my fuzz pedals after one week of using it - no idea why and how, but now it works absolutely perfectly :D
I really do recommend this wah as it's one of the best wah's I ever used!

Great sound, usability and sound flexibility
The pedal has is prepared for a heavy usage. The switch gives the posibility to get 3 different sounds very articulated and vocal.
I love this pedal and all the possibilities that it brings to me.
For me, it?s the best wah available on the market.

It Sounds fantastic, and it doesn't spoil the guitars headroom. The three positions Works good with both clean and overdrive Sounds. The true bypass is "really true".
The Best wahwah in the World.

The Wah to Wah Wah your way
Awesome product, delivers the goods and as with all Fulltone products in my experience sound quality is top level. The rest of the flips and switches do work as advertised but baby this pedal rocks.
Fuzz friendly is not a buzz word, there is not a single pedal that I have failed to compliment with this Wah pedal, including hand made peaky muffs and fuzzes!
Sure, it is a bit on the pricey end but I do not think I will ever have to switch it!

Super pédale
Pédale facile utilisation, beaucoup de réglages disponibles, les trois modes offrent un aspect très versatile et la fabrication est de bonne qualité. Je dirais qu'elle est faite pour un registre allant du blues au gros gros rock, elle encaisse bien les fuzz et elle est transparente.
