A wah for a Warm Bender?

[LemonBurst&OrangeCrush]

I'm planning on buying a Warm Audio Warm Bender when I have the money. (I know there are other Tone Bender-style options but not in South Africa.)

I'd like to run my wah into my fuzz but the Warm Bender wants to be as close to the guitar as possible.

Might a Cry Baby Mini (CBM95) work? People seem to like that it's true bypass.

EDIT: Does anyone have any experience of playing wahs into germanium Fuzz Faces that might help?

Thanks.

True bypass wahs will work if you don’t turn the way and fuzz on at the same time. If you want to use the wah into the fuzz, a higher impedance output buffer designed for that specific situation is probably what you are looking for.

Foxrox Wah Retrofit

Thanks, I'll look into that.

I’ve had WB since it was released and it really is an exceptional pedal.

I’ve never used it with a Wah pedal though.
I’ve got a Wah a volume and modulation pedals all set up at the moment for some pedal testing .
So thought I would try a Wah.
I just went to look for my WB and it’s not there .
Turns out my son borrowed it yesterday so probably won’t see that again for a month or so.

Personally, I kind of like wah after fuzz. In my case it would normally be a FF circuit. Yes it chops it off and gets nasty but that can be a useful sound at times.

I've tried one out and it's just what I want, rather than other options like the EHX Op Amp. I'm looking for a mid-sixties Yardbirds to early-seventies Mick Ronson sound, but I'd hoped to run the wah into the fuzz, as I believe Mick usually did.

I mainly use the Warm Bender on my desk or in the rack draws because I like to use the settings without having to bend down.
You can have a lot of fun with it.

I believe your correct Mick did used to do that.
I was lucky enough to know Mick from 1974 through work.
Jezz I wish I could play and arrange music like he did.
I did manage to competently use a EBow after years of trying

 

[LemonBurst&OrangeCrush]

Oh wow, he's a huge hero of mine. One of my favourite guitarists, and his ability to produce and arrange material was second to none.

Yeah I'm not sure if he did, may have. I have a buffer switch on one my fuzzes so i could run a wah before if needed, but honestly like wah before something like an overdrive or other distortion circuits. Especially love wah before a bk tube driver.

One can mess about with volume & modulation pedals now days and actually
have no need for a Wah pedal.
You just need the right cables

That's utterly absurd.

I’m predicting a Glenn Fricker video in the near future-

“STOP BUYING PEDALS!! ALL YOU NEED ARE DIFFERENT CABLES AAAHHHHHHH”

That’s still going to be problematic with impedance sensitive fuzzes. Might as well just get a wah and the foxrox buffer.
