Despite the large size and higher price, the DiscumBOBulator is a simple offering.
A boutique auto-wah with plenty of headroom, there’s a toggle button for helping players dial in a tone that suits them, then pots for sensitivity, envelope attack and filter bandwith. The second footswitch offers a boost of up to 10dB, controlled via the marked pot, though the auto-wah is more than punchy enough, especially with the attack up and the width pulled back.
Instead of a boost control it might have been nice to have had an expression input, but the core sounds are solid.
