Shaft theme

mlipping · October 21st, 2009, 09:10 PM

He's one bad mother...... Shut your mouth!

I was wondering if anyone knew the exact pedal configuration to get that 'wocka wocka' sound? I know it's a wah with a delay, but I was hoping someone would be able to dial it in for me.

I have a Pod Farm so I probably have whatever it takes. Just can't seem to get it.

Thanks in advance!

I always thought it was a Maestro Boomerang wah pedal.

NOW I remember. They have a Boomerang 2 at the STAX museum where they claim it is the actual pedal used on the recording.

I remember seeing it when I went through there are freaking because the other guitarist in my high school garage band had one. He could nail the Shaft intro. I suspect that is the actual pedal that was used.

producer Isaac Hayes operated the unknown brand Wah pedal by hand while Charlie Pitts played guitar ... talk about modern technology !!! and the rest is history ...
