Hard not to fall into cliches when using a Wah. It's like the Pentatonic of Effects Pedals.

I had fun last night using a Wah as more of a filter (QOTSA) than as wakka-wakka machine.

 

[la szum]

Yep, plugged it in that first week and haven’t touched it since. More due to not playing quite as much after more than the pedal having any issues. I do need to tweak it a bit to taste, though, I like to find that point in a treadle’s travel where you can’t really tell there’s a wah pedal on but the sweep is so deep and wide on the Petrucci it’s not easy finding that spot.

I get it. Pedals and pickups are cheap (relatively speaking!). Which is why it is so easy to buy
more of them---and then not use them much, if at all.

I love how Petrucci does pick scrapes while rocking the wah one way. Such a cool sound!

 

[Life Eats Life]

Too bad you can’t combine the filter and control in the sweep of the wah.
I always run into some weird noise issue that nobody can explain with Morley pedals on my boards. The convienience changes how you come & go do the simplicity might take away the glory?
I had a super-mod done to one of my Morley’s.
EMB wah’s eat Morley in a quarter sweep
If rack wah type a 80’s top endy’ is wah’t
your after.

Hooked up the George Lynch Dragon Wah last night. Back to the RMC.

Blech!

It all ended with me busting out an Exp Pedal and using the in the box Wahs
in the Fractal. Kind of makes more sense.

I really just want to go shop for 3 or 4 more Wahs to add to the ones I am
not super excited about as it is. Crazy!

How many wahs you have now? I only have 3 currently.

5 in house. Watching about 3 or 4 others online.

I only want a substantial throw on a non-reduced size Wah that is
not too murky at the heel and not too shrill at the toe.

Have you tried a jam?

Never tried one, but I've listened to Greg Koch use one and it does have a nice tone -- didn't seem too bright or peaky. Nice vocal midrange.

 

[JiveTurkey]

Always wanted to try the Plutonium Chi-wah

More Blah Blah Blahing about Wah Wah Wahing.



Couple of more Wahs incoming. I have often just reverted
to the Bad Horsie 2 as a does what I want default. I want
that Cocked Wah/Nasal thing and it is hard to do with the
Morley. So 2 different Dunlop Cry Baby variants coming in,
and another RMC.

Sold the Xotic. I have big(ish) feet and I cannot lie.

Sooooooooooooooooooooooo close!

They are spendy. Very spendy.

I feel like going up above $150 to $200 max has been my limit
in the past. Getting a Fulltone Clyde Deluxe in the past hurt (and
I didn't love it!) at $200-ish. Same with the Xotic I just bought and
sold in a 2 week span.

$300-$400 Wah is reaching. For me.

Oddly enough, I found on on Reverb last night for $250 and I had
to make myself go to bed. Fast!

I get it. I just love them and what they do...and I like to toss odd ball choices out. When everyone uses the same stuff ..and plays the same way.... everything sounds the same.

I'm like Apple in the 80s, I think different.

You want Fishman Fluences, bruh! And TMI on the 2nd line

...Bad Horsie 2....

Bad Horsie II is BRIGHT AF iirc. I really like the Maverick and the Tremonti wah (treadplate aside). It might have been I did a back to back with the Bad Horsie I where that brightness really got me.

That's the part I love about it.....you can give a lobotomy from 100 yards..... without a permit!!!!

That is the only drawback to the Morley, not being able to set a position. But you know that going in so no point in complaining about it.
I still think my Wahzoo is better overall, the tone is dialed in just right like a perfect Clyde wah.

One man's Buxom Blonde is some other man's Ditzy Bitch.

Maybe if I use a DS-1 with the Bad Horsie 2 it won't be so bright.

 

[JiveTurkey]

Maybe it stuck in engaged mode full time when I had it?
