HEVYDEVY FORUMS

Which wah-wah's do you guys use?

I have recently bought the Fulltone Clyde Deluxe wah, and to be honest, it's the best wah-wah I've ever heard and / or played with.
It has three functions, Jimi, Shaft and Wacked. The Wacked setting covers every frequency you would want from a wah-wah pedal. Inside the pedal itself are two more knobs to control the volume and frequency some more.
True bypass, and a wah-wah volume knob, for the extra boost during a solo, gives you an awesome full(tone) sound.
I can recommend this wah-wah to every guitarplayer in any genre.

Dunlop Crybaby. Old school.

I've got a Boss PW-13 (the V-Wah). I don't even have it with me, and I don't use it very much, but I know it's one of those things that I'll "need" about 6 hours after I sell it. It's not bad, but the distortion and noise gate are pretty pointless.

I use either a Bad Horsie Morley or, more often, one of the several models in the Digitech XP100 Whammy/Wah. I prefer a less obtrusive and "sweepy" wah than most, and 98% I use it on leads or meandering ambient noodling... and that's often in conjunction with a synth pedal of some sort.

Dunlop 535Q.

Dunlop DB01

A Vox. Its messy as f88k and I love it!

Hmmmmmm I'm torn between purchasing a Morley Bad Horsie or a Dunlop Crybaby. I tried out my friend's Bad Horsie contour wah and the sound was just beautiful, so I would assume that the Bad Horsie one would have the same kind of sound, but I also like the Crybaby as it is a very versatile wah and what some would say the industry standard.
Most of the time I play a mixture of progressive metal and slower kind of rock stuff (spose you could call it stoner haha) so I was just wondering if anyone had any suggestions?

Thanks

What model Cry Baby are you looking at?

The GCB-95 I believe its called.

Jim Dunlop Bass Crybaby but it goes by 2 other names. 'The pedal of indulgence' because when I first got it I used it waaaaay too much. I'd hear comments such as, "dude that was an awesome gig but man, you really overdid the wah" or my other name for it which I came up with on Saturday, 'the ADD pedal' because when I get bored I can't help it... I indulge.

I love wah pedals

Yeah it is very easy to over indulge when using one.

It takes a lot of discipline

If you're not going for a Fulltone wah, go for the Bad Horsie. The quality is just a little bit better, and the optical on/off function is really useful; no more stomping like a madman to switch your wah off.

Thanks for the advice man, I must admit the optical function was swaying me a bit, a really good idea!

So I think I might go for the Bad Horsie, thanks for the help everyone!
