i'm looking for something that's vintage voiced (60s, cream era clapton). i have a crybaby wah and like it, but i'm looking for a REALLY good one now. i'm not lookin to spend too much.

Jay Jordan · March 9th, 2009, 09:59 PM

REALLY good ain't cheap...

you need a true bypass.....Fulltone Clyde is one....

petesguitar1 · March 9th, 2009, 10:58 PM

I have a wizard wah (Teese) that is very modern sounding so I'd probably steer away from it. I also have a Crybaby GCB95 that I have modded fairly heavily (TB, LED, Q, Vocal) It's cool but just a little old now. In the mail I have a Buddah Wah, should get it tomorrow. I hear they are really quite nice.

Clapton I heard used the Dunlop Hendrix Wah-wah at the Cream Reunion.

drummerdarko · March 13th, 2009, 01:31 AM

Vintage voiced wah you say?

Teese Picture Wah of course...

andrenighthound · March 13th, 2009, 01:44 AM

teese picture wah is a clone 60's wah pedal. they cut through like no other. if you want a vintage sounding wah wah that's in your face, get a picture wah. i got two of them and i love em very much.

bosstone · March 13th, 2009, 01:54 AM

Original Vox, Mutron C200 and the Teese "Joe Walsh" model are the three best.

geddyleedog · March 13th, 2009, 06:08 AM

I have an old Thomas Organ Crybaby, that I converted to true-bypass. Love it!

beep.click · March 13th, 2009, 06:15 AM

Try a Vox.

weiner71 · March 13th, 2009, 05:13 PM

I have always liked my the dunlop classic wah. $70 new. plus the cost of modding it for true bypass (wire, dpdt switch) is only about $6.

umasstele · March 14th, 2009, 08:21 PM

Old or new Vox

Converting it to true bypass is an easy job if you so desire

bosstone · March 14th, 2009, 08:32 PM

Converting a VOX to true bypass doesn't help the sound at all. That only helps when they are off.

tazzboy · March 14th, 2009, 08:40 PM

Vox 848 is true bypass and the 847 isn't.

czech-one-2 · March 17th, 2009, 04:19 PM

i bought my 95q the year they first came out,i think 97 or there abouts.
i bought it cause the rocker is spring loaded and switchless which to this day i really dig. if your a 'set it in the middle and walk away' wah player steer clear of this one as it turns off when you take your foot off.
but i use my wah alot for a quick tremolo wah effect on clean 6ths,chords and stuff,and the spring loaded feature made this a breeze.
its also the only wah ive found that sounds perfect clean and funky or with heavy distortion. is it true bypass? NO, and i beleive its digital so you purists will be turned off.but ive owned alot of wahs over the years and
its the only pedal that has had a permanent place on my pedalboard since the day i bought it.

Scottone · March 18th, 2009, 07:40 PM

I have a Arteffect Bonnie wah which is the nicest vintage voiced wah that I've had (and I've owned several Colorsounds and Jen wah's over the years).

A close second is my early Dunlop Cry Baby with a Fulltone pot. Sounds way better than than the newer one's to my ear.

Yoni · March 18th, 2009, 08:58 PM

The BYOC wah. Is amazing and thick and cuts so well.

Voodoo Chile · March 20th, 2009, 11:11 PM

-VOX 847 (mine's around 20 years old and has been modded with true bypass)
-Teese "Joe Walsh"

Obviously I've used the VOX a long time and I LOVE ITS TONE! Purchased the Teese "Joe Walsh" because of the many good things I heard about it and i LOVE it too. The JW has been getting more gig time and it sounds very musical too me. Nice both clean and for boosted sounds.
