The Nordic Gawd Posted December 20, 2003 Report Share Posted December 20, 2003 just got a nice vox wah. *** it worked at the store and for some reason it isnt wah-ing now. Is it my guitar setup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nordic Gawd Posted December 20, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2003 yes there is a battery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeB Posted December 20, 2003 Report Share Posted December 20, 2003 The Nordic Gawd Posted on Dec 20 2003, 06:08 PM yes there is a battery lmao what is the tone setting on the amp etc... you can really kill the wah effect by cutting mids and treble, otherwise it might be bust and stuck in bypass or something mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nordic Gawd Posted December 20, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2003 but i used that EXACT one at the store im positive it isnt bust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbkim Posted December 20, 2003 Report Share Posted December 20, 2003 Check to see if you're plugged IN and OUT correctly... trying to eliminate the most obvious . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nordic Gawd Posted December 20, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2003 we're ok there. the sound from the guitar is going through but no wah! ***. could it be the guitar or the amp in any way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbkim Posted December 20, 2003 Report Share Posted December 20, 2003 Hmm... another obvious question. Do you know how to turn it on/off? Do you know where the switch is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nordic Gawd Posted December 20, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2003 yes i know how to turn it on and off. but i had the same problem with my crybaby. but that actually broke later on. but this is BRAND new. And i tried teh exact wah that i bought at the store and it worked brilliantly. you just put the toe down and click it from bypass to wah mode. but somethings wrong in this case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbkim Posted December 20, 2003 Report Share Posted December 20, 2003 Hmm... only other thing I can think of is that the battery had just enough juice left to work great at the store... then died when you got it home. Have you tried a new battery? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nordic Gawd Posted December 20, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2003 ill try it but i couldnt imagine WHY it would. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nordic Gawd Posted December 21, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2003 thats not the problem just tried. goddamn it WHY MUST THIS HAPPEN TO ME. Do certain guitars like not work with it or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveq Posted December 21, 2003 Report Share Posted December 21, 2003 What happens - no sound at all when activated or exactly the same as when in bypass? I know this is an obvious one but sometimes these things get me - the wah's usually have the in/out reversed from other pedals. I think someone else mentioned this also but it's worth looking at. Any more symptoms you can pass along? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted December 21, 2003 Report Share Posted December 21, 2003 Any chance this Wah use's a photo cell and a strip of plastic to change the effect on the signal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nordic Gawd Posted December 21, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2003 no sound at all through activated mode. anyone know whats wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southpa Posted December 21, 2003 Report Share Posted December 21, 2003 Geez, I don't know. The only thing I can dream up is either it somehow got damaged on the way home or , and this is a long shot, your guitar has really low output pickups and the signal just isn't strong enough to activate the Vox circuit. I'm assuming you tried the wah out on a guitar supplied by the store. If you brought your own axe in to test out the wah then the only answer is it got broke! Bring it back along with your guitar and show them. At least you will know for sure which one is at fault. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryeisnotcool2 Posted December 21, 2003 Report Share Posted December 21, 2003 if its a photo cell the bulb might have been blown, but i thin only morley did these. open up the case and make sure the toothed gear is on the pot gear, check all the wired conections, check the battery wire conections, throw it away. lol just kidin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
