What's Your Favorite Wah?

[speyfly]

Over the years I've owned many wah's (3 others in a box somewhere) but never found one that I really liked until I picked this one up. Bought it new right before it was discontinued and if it broke I'd get it fixed, if unfixable I'd buy one used. The sweep is wide, stroke is long and very controllable and has an awesome controllable tone. Thought I had broke mine the other day but it's OK now once I was able to removed the jack tip that broke off in it when I stepped on the jack.



What's your go to wah?

Ha, before I clicked on the thread and just read the title, I said to myself, an Ibanez Weeping Demon is my favorite.

I see that the De Armond has been discontinued too.

I have a Dime Wah I've been using for quite some time now. Very versatile! Used a a 535Q for many years that still can't be beat as well.

Thanks to Kirk Hammet and a MC wreck, my pedal board got simpler in that regard. I no longer FW wah. I will use fixed/filter FX, just no stomp fest anymore.

Ive only owned a Dunlop Crybaby, I know theres lots of wahs out there but I figured theyre all pretty much the same thing so I havent tried any others. Plus its an effect thats used sparingly so there hasnt been an urgency to try others, the one I have works fine.

I've stuck with a Dunlop Zakk Wylde Wah for many years, it just works for me. I have an old Crybaby that's a bit mellower, and a Sonuus Wah-Hoo which is ridiculously versatile, but for just a straight wah without any fuss I use the Wylde

Same here @paul-e-mann

Haven't much experimented with Wahs. My GCB95 works fine. Yeah, i opened and tweaked it a bit to my liking.

Options are endless and pricey too. But i am happy with my Crybaby.
When seldom used, I use it cocked, less for sweep.

This one. Normally I don't use It. I use a Dunlop because this Marshall it's so valueable. It's the oldest piece of gear I own.

 

[El Gringo]

I have been using the Dunlop 535 Cry Baby since 1994 and love it .

 

[dodona]

VOX, since 1970

Vox mini wah. Pretty basic. I like it. Small footprint yet still usable.

 

[Ramhead]

'69 Vox with ICAR pot and trashcan inductor.

 

[lespaul339]

I have an RMC Wizard wah. It's the cat's meow.

I've tried a few different wahs out over the years, but this one is my favorite.

I might be a little biased, but the Wahs I build are my favorites hands down!

Same...but I sold mine years ago. I modded mine to have a spring return on the pedal and I always wanted the wah to work in reverse but I never got around to modding it. I believe there are wahs out there that might have those mods.

Started in around 1979 with a mid 70s Morley fuzz wah. Still the gnarliest sounding. But very big for a board and huge AC cable.

I went to a newer series Morley Distortion wah then finally a Mini Morley. Less real estate on board.

But, eventually I wanted something even smaller for my small board with a more convenient On Off switch.

Hate to admit the cheap Mooer wah is it. Very small, On Off with the pedal, has a variable Q AND minimum volume setting when used as a volume pedal. Seems to have more throw in a better range than the Morley. So I have one on the big board now too and I am not a cheapskate, I will pay for quality.
Go figure.

I still have all these wahs.
