Wah reccomendations

**Rainer.** · 07-03-2007, 08:04 PM

I love that my Morley is switchless. When I need to have a filter sound, I generally just either keep my foot there, or stick something like the cable underneath the back edge of the wah to keep it engaged.

Though lately, I've been combo'ing my POD wah and my real wah, real wah for the wah-wah ish stuff, and POD wah for filtering.

I've heard really good things about the bud-wah

I personally plan on having my wah modded by Robert Keeley (rkfx.com)
You can buy them brand new from him if you're interested, but they're not cheap.

I really dig the sound of the Cry Baby Classics w/ the red fasel inducuctors, I used one on the recording of my bands cd. However they're not true bypass (nor are any voxes or dunlops, iirc) but if you want to go that direction (less than $100) I would definitely recommend the red fasel model Dunlop, they sound great.

the Vox Clyde McCoy is advertised as TB...it's also $150.

check that baby, NOS Vox King Wah from 1970, I've actually talked to this guy on the phone, he's buddies with my guitar instructor (who purchased one of these wahs). They sound great, but yeah, they're rather steep. I'd probably prefer the Keeley

I've used a 'Crybaby Super' for 10+ years. Not sure if they still make it, but it doubles as a volume fader which is what I use most. I switch guitars alot during worship service tunes and this makes it seamless.

I haven't tried out a whole lot of wah pedals, but would say to definately look at ones that also act as a volume pedal. The crybaby I have works as volume pedal when it not in wah mode and was only something like $10 more than the regular pedal. It's a pretty cool feature to have for dynamics and such.

I have a morley and a thomas organ crybaby (the original before dunlop). I use the morley more as a filter to get out in front of the mix. The crybaby is perfect for the classic vintage vocal wah tone.

I a/b'd several wahs back when I was looking for one and found I liked the crybaby classic the best.

I would get a vox clyde mccoy wah. I have a standard dunlop crybaby wich I bought new about a year ago. I wish I knew more about them then. The crybaby is way to harsh. I can barely use it at home let alone for p&w. Plus when the toe is up, it's too quiet and when the toe is down it's too loud. I would really like a vox.

Sorry to pull this back up, but I figured better to pull this one up than start all over.

I've had a original crybaby the entire time i've played guitar (about 10 years) and never really used it. I'm using wah a lot more now and just really don't like the tone. I've been leaning towards vox or morley. I REALLY want switchless. Anyone tried some of the other options (weeping demon, budwah, etc)?

This is pretty much exclusively for P&W. I need something that's not shrill, can do a good funk, a good distorted wah, and is switchless. Should I go Morley?
