hey all, looking for a nice clean wah sound that goes great with distortion. Any idea which brands are good and which i should avoid? my price range is around 200-300... thanx
 
You have to go listen and try out the wahs. These are more subjective than Distortion / OD tones.

Anyway, a FullTone Cylde Wah will give you what you want. Just $500. Its the next thign I'm gas-sing for.
 
500$ damn!! hehe one of those things that is just out of reach....

A morley BadHorsie2 kicks ass:D...

and so does the Dunlop Crybaby 535q

for the poorer :D
 
But to put things in perspective... listen to the Clyde Deluxe. Then put your Bad Horsie 2 beside it.

Then realise.

YOU NEED THE CYLDE!!!

Damn you Edmund.
 
Wait until you see the roger mayer wah or chicago iron parachute wah. Those are like $700!

Clyde is good, but so is the RMC Picture Wah. I need to try one of these, currently using a Budda Bud-Wah.
 
Lifehouse, I'm in the market for a new wah as well. Care to post clips of the Budda? I've heard many good things about it.

I haven't tried that many pedals, but I'll let you in on what I've used before.

I currently use the Bad Horsie 1, first issue which came with the original Steve Vai bad squad CD. Pretty damn good wah, but limited in some aspects. I think it's pretty cool because it somewhat responds to your picking dynamics and gets you that screaming rock tone as well.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the Tremonti wah, amazing wah for non-boutique brand. If you have the chance do check it out.

I've tried the Fulltone Clyde wahs, didn't sound that good to my ears. Judging from the clips off Fuller's page, I thought it would totally blew me away. I found the sweep and tones to be slightly lackluster...not something I would expect from such a wah. I'm not saying it doesn't sound good, but for something from Fuller and such a price tag, I'd expect it to be mindblowing.

IMHO the clyde wah is plain hype. Sure Fuller makes some GREAT pedals, I just feel the clyde's just not one of them.

I'm currently awaiting the new shipment of RMCs to arrive. :)

woah lau eh....it's all about preferences, preferences......I must go get me grubby hands on the Fuzz/Wah Probe, it'll sum up what i call GAS for me :lol:
 
thanx everyone, but ur price ranges are abit on the high side... have to save up a few years b4 getting one of those, any idea which wah does satriani use on love thing? Love that sound
 
+2 for the RMC.I personally LOVE the Wizard wah, Vox 848/846..I would like to try the Automagic Silver Machine wah someday also..
Vheissu,suggest be patient wait for good offers at LutherADs. :wink:
 
It's pretty good, prob can nail most wah tones you're looking for due to the variable selector.... The bypass is pretty good... no difference to these ears. I had one and sold it off as I wasn't using it much.
