Serius13 Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 As we all know christmas is coming around pretty fast and I'm thinking about asking for a Wah Pedal. Can anybody give their opinions of different Wah Pedals. I was thinking about something from Dunlop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dudz Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 Dunlop jimi hendrix wah is my favorite. I would definitely recomend it but I always recomend trying stuff yourself before buying or in this case asking for christmas. You my hear more favorites of the jimi, get it, and then hate it, or love it. You can't say the outcome but I would recomend it as a great wah for whatever style of music you might be playing.

borge Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 I've got the original hendrix dunlop (JH-1 i think?) on permanant loan from a friend and dont rate it too highly, its definitely the darkest wah I've used, heel down your guitar disappears and toe down is pretty close to bypass. I'd recommend the cheap and very adjustable behringer to get a feel for different wah sounds before splashing out on a high end one,even then the behringers so good (especially after the range extension mod) you may not even want upgrade..

avengers63 Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 Vox V-847A Personally, I HATE the Dunlop Wah. I don't feel it has a very broad range. It seems to stop halfway through the "wah". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WezV Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 the standard dunlop and voxes are great for modding though, you can easily sort out a better sweep and give them a more vocal quality Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serius13 Posted December 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 I was looking at a Dunlop Dimebag Wah. what do you guy's think about that pedal? Anybody here used one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzz Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 I like my lucky Cry-Baby wah, tough, bitey and expresive. It's lucky because I once left it at a pub, next day the bartender phones me up and says a customer left his phone number and I should call him, I did and the dude said you forgot your wah, come over and pick it up. I went over with some beers and my prodigal wah was returned, now when I play it, it always reminds me that there are some cool people in the world. Yeah I know the story would be a million times better if a hot babe had picked up the pedal and opened the door in her bikini Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dudz Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 Hey borge you say that the original one was too dark? I never tried one but the one I have is a newer one that I think get a nice honk in heel down and really screams in toe down position. This is why I said you should always try first because everyone has their own opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serius13 Posted December 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 What about the ernie ball wah? Anybody played that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narcissism Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 I like my Dunlop Crybaby: 535Q. It lets you dial in the Q variance (amount of tonal difference), and it lets you dial in how far you want the frequency between completely open and completely closed. That doesn't make sense i guess... You'll have to try one, because i don't know how to explain it. But that's the one that I like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpm99 Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 I use the Fulltone Clyde Standard Wah. It's awesome. I sorta wish I had the deluxe, but I doubt I'd ever be switching around the sounds anyway. The standard sounds perfect just the way it is. http://fulltone.com/stpframe.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihocky2 Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 Any thoughts on the Bad Horsie wah's. I know what Steve Vai can get them to sound like, but then again, I could never get those sounds out of my guitar that he can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zyonsdream Posted December 26, 2008 Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 I have both the Zakk Wah and the Dimebag Wah. I use the dimebag because you can pick the sweep range you want. Like it a bit nasel. pick it. Like it to have more low end, pick it. The boost is nice too. The zakk Wah seems to lack omph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
