[markedymark]

tsk tsk, nowdays, so much empahsis on true bypass.

 

[Weiht]

[markedymark]

i tried e pedel along side several crybabies and e budda budwah at ebenex...
I tried out e budwah 1st, den e vox n crybabies, but i realised dat e other wahs couldnt compare to e budwah in terms of clarity. i usually use higher gain settings, and the vox wah sounded classic n vintage which i didnt think was suitable for e kind of sound i wanna achieve.
I got e budwah aft testing it again

And oh e Vox wah shuld be 150bucks at ebenex if im not wrong

 

[fade2b14ck]

And btw, budda budwah is a hard bypass pedal, so not much tone loss.

Food for thought.

A wah pedal is as good as the player. Especially for the wah as it incorporates your feet to the whole equation. If you're not yet there, don't really need to look for the BEST wah pedal.

I've heard of great local musicians do wonders with a simple stock unmodded GCB95 standard Jim Dunlop and noobies sounding like crap on mojo boutique wah pedals. Of course the noobs will blame the pedal and go on to find the next holy grail of wah. Keeps the industry going you know. :wink: And then the cari makan musicians will still carry on with their regular unmodded stock wah pedal that is deemed as crap by noobs. These people very hard to milk money from them. :lol:

The secret to play the wah is to find the sweet spot and order your feet to rock at the sweet spot. Not like using a Vintage NOS sewing machine. The intensity of your picking and when to pick vs the direction of the wah is also crucial. This advise came from one monster guitar player that I truly respect.

Disclaimer: Don't ask me to demo. I'm just passing on the good advise.

[snuffleupagus]

but I think you should try out RMC wahs first before committing to any investments for a Wah pedal.

I tried them all but to me RMC comes up tops!

Imho of course
