Wazinator Dropkick Professional Acoustic Stompbox

This Wazinator does exactly as promised. Good deep bass kick sound. Very compact size. Looks sturdy. Volume varies depending on how hard you kick it. I can hit it with either ball of foot or heel and get slightly different sound and volume. Doesn't require a battery. Of course the sound can't replace a true bass drum but for the cost, size and convenience, it is an excellent choice. Tip: plug into a bass amp or PA to appreciate full dynamic range; it doesn't sound so great through my guitar amp.

Plug&Play....solide und robust. Spricht super und verlässlich an, bei Schuhen mit Ledersohlen kommt der Sound knackig....bei Turnschuhen eher etwas dumpfer rüber. Die Stompbox ist super verarbeitet, kann sogar Regen vertragen und ist für mein Unplugged Projekt super geeignet. Im Mischpult ist der gewünschte Stompbox Soud schnell eingestellt, da das Grundsignal einfach schon gut ist. Dank der Gummi Füße rutschfest und sicher.Etwas teuer, aber ein langlebiges Instrument, weil total solide verarbeitet.

Works fantastically! I used this for the first time this morning when leading worship for our house church. Me on acoustic with my guitar and this running into my Fishman Loudbox acoustic amp. It added a ton of energy to the sound, and was easy to eq a tight, snappy sound out of, even just through an acoustic guitar amp. I also recently heard a worship leader buddy use this at his church when they were without a drummer, and it filled out the sound nicely and added a great feel and energy to their sound as well. Once I heard it, I knew I just had to have one for myself. It seems a bit overpriced for what it is, based on what I've read online, but it feels very solid, is well-built, and feels like an absolute tank of a pedal. I hope it lasts, as durability is suspect based on reviews, but so far I am very happy with it. I was using an acoustic BeatBox with an actual kick drum pedal before this, which is kind of a pain to set up for a non-drummer like myself, and is a bit more tiring to use and requires a more controlled technique with the kickdrum pedal. This is dead simple. Plug it in, set your foot on it (much easier to do seated than standing), and tap away. And it's responsive to how and where you tap, which can lend itself to some slight tonal variations, which can be interesting and a good thing I have yet to explore. All in all, I am very pleased.

This pedal is awesome. It’s become a regular part of my gigs. Best drunk purchase I’ve ever made. Lol! Changed my entire sound for the better. It takes a while to learn to play it on time with everything else your doing but once you catch on it’s a beauty. I actually Run it through a 10 band EQ on my pedal board which enables me to change the sound of it for different rooms.

After about 50 or so shows with the Wazinator Dropkick: so far, it's been worth every penny! I'd been searching for the solution to a lot of problems I've had with other foot drum products, including tone, EQ, durability, and ease of use (mainly the fact that a 'toe-tapping' type of stomp pedal will slowly slide away from me throughout the set, leaving me in some pretty strange positions by the end of a song!). As someone who plays approx 4-5 nights a week, about half of them in a solo or scaled-down band format, I look for something I can't break, sets up quickly, looks great onstage, and that some strange sound man that I've never worked with can make sound good. With other wooden/floor stomp pedals, I have to constantly explain the EQ that I want to sound like a kick drum. Ex: "bring the bass way up" (which they never do, they always just slightly turn it to the right), "turn the treble all the way down" (which heaven forbid, they listen to me). It's exhausting and kills a ton of time. Not with the Dropkick. I just give them the pedal and let the subs (and it's natural settings) do the work. A flat EQ with a slight adjustment, and we have a great sound (and a shorter soundcheck). Also, in the absence of a drum pedal that pushes back, there's a comfort to having your heel on a pedal, instead of tapping something elevated. There's a nice natural 'slide' I can manage with a boot heel, and my toe doesn't have to raise up so high, my ankle starts to tire. It just feels natural, and after a 3-4 hour gig, that's a blessing. Keep up the good work, Wazinator!
