What seems to be your choice for Wah pedals?
I just bought a Wilson Drop in kit and it has a serious sweep that I never heard before!
I have been using modified Thomas pedals lately but I think this baby is sounding nice.

Telenator · January 26th, 2008, 06:33 PM

RMC Picture Wah baby! Nothing like it!

Iversen · January 26th, 2008, 06:46 PM

I'm using a Budda.

Toto · January 26th, 2008, 06:56 PM

I've used the Vox Clyde McCoy for the last two years and love it. Really focused sound. My friend bought the really expensive fulltone one......good. but the crybaby from hell surprisingly sounded better and was very versatile. I used the crybaby w/fasel for a year, good in its own right.

photoweborama · January 26th, 2008, 08:25 PM

I have an Ibanez Weeping Demon. Takes a bit to really find the sweet spot, but when you do, they sound fantastic. I had a Cry Baby before that.

I also just got a Korg AX5G for $39.00 and I have to say the Wah sound REALLY, REALLY good. I bought it because it was cheap, but this thing is just amazing.

franchelB · January 26th, 2008, 10:54 PM

I use a Crybaby...and not very well, I might add.

Brad J · January 27th, 2008, 01:32 AM

Area 51 drop in kit, by far the best.

LarryR · January 27th, 2008, 02:34 AM

PedalworX modded crybaby with voicing toggle.......works for my needs.

eddiewagner · January 27th, 2008, 05:32 AM

morley classic here.

JohnnyCrash · January 27th, 2008, 06:07 AM

I'm "just" using an "ordinary old" Crybaby original.

No true-bypass, nothing fancy.

If the guitar is already distorted, why should I care about high end loss :)

My Crybaby is one of the few pieces of gear I've kept and used for this long and it'll be with me until it breaks down and croaks... perhaps my '94 Tele is the only other piece of gear to have stuck around so long and avoid being sold.

iorr · January 27th, 2008, 06:32 AM

I use a modded cry baby 95.
True-bypass, other fasel, status led, switchable frequency, vol/wah switch.

Karsten

garytelecastor · January 27th, 2008, 06:49 AM

I use a Vox intermittently.

Anybody heard of a Vox intermittently?

Darcy Hoover · January 27th, 2008, 06:57 AM

Original Crybaby modded for true-bypass, but I hardly use it, maybe the odd kick at "Voodoo Chile", one of those songs I can't begin to pull off but attempt from time to time....

Whether I can hear it or not, the very thought of signal loss had me worried I may sound worse than I know I do...so I modded it.

Jeff Mason · January 27th, 2008, 07:34 AM

I use a Jennings Cry Baby Super...mid 70's model. Its still in good condition with its original case!

Boss PW10 V-Wah - the noise free infrared pedal detection appealed to me. I really like the preset Uni-V effect as well as the various wah sounds. Overdrive and distortion are also built in; as well 3 digital memories, but as they're fiddly to preset - this user leaves well alone...

neocaster · January 28th, 2008, 01:08 PM

Morley Bad Horsie (original). Nothing to fiddle with but I like how it sounds. It's just a pedal, no knobs or buttons.

Grin'n'pick · January 28th, 2008, 01:10 PM

Teese RMC 3 for me.

I think they're blue nowadays though. Gratuitous picture I know, and it looks like, well, a wah pedal, but there we are.

Doug Ferguson · January 28th, 2008, 01:18 PM

Original Crybaby. On my 3rd one. Seems like I replace them about every 8-10 yrs.

stxrus · January 28th, 2008, 02:44 PM

i've got a vox 847 and a crybaby. right now the crybaby gets the most use as it has a DC input. neither gets used that much. just a little now and then.

steve

marc sosnoff · January 28th, 2008, 03:13 PM

teese picture wah for many years i have a vox reissue as a backup
all modded but the teese pic wah rules

dsharman · January 28th, 2008, 03:21 PM

Cry Baby.

Axis29 · January 30th, 2008, 07:59 PM

Morley Bad Horsie II. Love it.

FrankB · January 30th, 2008, 09:43 PM

I bought a dunlop hendirx wah about 2 years ago for $5.00, but I don't have a use for it right no, so I don't use it...

XKnight · January 30th, 2008, 09:55 PM

Teese Wizard user here, but I'd like to try the new Joe Walsh Signature wah too.

JimiBryant · January 30th, 2008, 10:41 PM

old Cry Baby, older Vox and my favorite: an early 70's Foxx with the 4-position knob for getting different tones.. it's also a volume pedal, which is handy.

too bad I'm the only guy in my band who seems to like 'em.

beep.click · January 30th, 2008, 10:54 PM

Dunlop Cry Baby and a Morley. The Morley gets way more extreme...

Just-Jim · January 31st, 2008, 12:12 AM

Was not a big wah or Pearl Jam fan, but loved the solo on Evenflow enough to go buy a CryBaby in the 90's and still enjoy messing around with it. Now days more for Cream/Clapton stuff. I also like the way it was used on Rage Against the Machines Bulls on Parade.

FMDoug · February 9th, 2008, 09:31 PM

I have a Vox wah and it is now sounding more like a vox volume pedal. The up position is slightly lower than the amp volume and the the down position sounds like its 10 times the volume. Does anyone know what the problem could be?

austintele · February 9th, 2008, 10:14 PM

I have one of the first years of the reissue vox ('93/94) which I really like. I put a icar pot and a true-bypass in it and it sounds great. Looks pretty cool as well.

BoB/335 · February 10th, 2008, 01:05 AM

Original early to mid 70's KING Vox-Wah. It's like an American Express Card to me.

xjazzy · February 10th, 2008, 08:14 AM

Modded Cry Baby that I just can't use cause it sounds bad... the truth is I'm really bad with the wha.

Though, I love the wha on my GT-6!

giantslayer · February 10th, 2008, 06:09 PM

I use an Ibanez Weeping Demon wah. It's got a lot of controls to dial in the sound. The best part is that it uses a switchless design that is off when the pedal is completely up (it's also spring-loaded), and then when you press it down a bit, it kicks in (you can set how long it needs to be all the way up before the wah turns off to make it harder to accidentally turn it off).

I think that's the way wahs should work - kicking on at the bass part of the sweep, rather than the treble. No more having to stop playing when I turn my wah on/off to avoid letting out a burst of treble. No more having to worry about whether I pressed the switch hard enough.

Morley makes a few wah pedals with a similar switchless design, but the Ibanez has more controls and costs less.

20texas20 · February 11th, 2008, 08:35 AM

Got an old Vox on the board... original, no mods, plain jane, does what it's ment to do when I need it. I like it.

Big Lug · February 11th, 2008, 05:35 PM

I have a RMC-1. Love it. Hardly use it though in a band setting. I think there was 1 song in our set list that called for one and it was at the end of a song. Still... I will be keeping it for when those 60's psychedelia memories--or lack of--hit me.

tonytrout · February 11th, 2008, 06:22 PM

I used to have a Dunlop "Original" crybaby wah but it died on me so I'm using the "Classic" crybaby...

(me is on the lookout for an "Original" crybaby wah, though!)

maestrovert · February 11th, 2008, 06:35 PM

Morley Classic for me....

SabuJSE · February 12th, 2008, 10:28 AM

Fulletone Clyde Deluxe here - very responsive, lots of tonal options.

I also use a Nova Wah for timbre changes. Two fixed wah selectable-positions. Very neat.

Sarge · February 14th, 2008, 12:50 PM

Dunlop Cry Baby or when I feel like a challenge a 70's Morely PWO Fuzz/Wah.

SixStringSlinger · February 14th, 2008, 12:56 PM

Plain old Crybaby. No fasel or anything. I"ve been getting a lot better with it (playing and tone-wise) lately, so I'm gonna hold off from any mods/changes for a while.
