What's Your Favorite Wah?

[Dgd73]

Lots of cool stuff posted here. Thanks for sharing. I’ve only owned the 535Q and don’t really feel a need for anything else. If it went out and couldn’t fix it, I’d probably get the same or a dimebag one because it looks like it’s about the same but has the LEDs on it.

Some good stuff here.
I use an older Mister Crybaby Super, it’s wah & volume. I got it as i sometimes need a volume pedal for certain parts I can’t handle with just guitar knobs, as well as needing a wah, and wanted to have both on my board without having to upsize.
Being a combination, it’s neither the greatest wah, or best volume pedal I’ve used, but gets the job done..
Interested to hear any other combined Wah/volume suggestions

Does anyone have or tried the Morley lead wah?

 

[CroTone]

MXR CAE one. This stopped the search for me.
The best one that I ever had and I had a few.

My favorite is the Dunlop CBM95 Mini but it sits on the shelf with the rest of my Wahs that i never use.

My first wah I bought is the Morley Power Wah Boost. As a wah, it sucks. I used it as a volume pedal and boost but now it just collects dust. I have a Thomas Organ Cry baby which sucked tone until I made it true bypass but it doesn't have the sweep of the Vox wah that I bought a couple of years ago.

Anyone have the Satriani wah? I love the sound of his wah as in the song "Your my World".

I really like the RMC 10 but interested in Xotic, looks vary versatile, though many people say, when activated during play with high gain, the wah makes a jarring sound which others have described a pop or a delay/gap between sounds?

Momentary delay, yup. Sounds so good I work around it but I’d buy a MkII in a second if they figure out how to fix that.

Finally picked up a 70s coloursound few months back. Wanted one for a long time ' cos Brian Robertson. Yep. That's the one for me. Prefer the more vocal quality over the crybaby 's.

Found an example and I liked it so I started a thread lol. 1:40 or so in you can hear me hit the wah

My fave as well.

Well - for live usage my favourite is the Dunlop 95Q. I am lazy and want to be sure that it turns on and off when I want it to. The 95Q always delivers and sounds great.
In the studio I prefer my Fulltone Clyde Deluxe or a RMC clone my tech build for me.

I have Morley fuzz wah I like the fuzz more than the wah but it works great. Also have Dunlop crybaby… not a fan. I’m really sad I missed out on the fulltone wahs they look and sound great(on YouTube). Wouldn’t mind getting a nice vox wah.

 

[mickeydg5]

I have only used a Crybaby DCR-1SR and it does a lot.

 

[Wildeman]

Whichever one works at the time, I got two Thomas's, a Coloursound and a Crybaby classic Fasel. The Thomas is my fav but they're old and rickety.

Thanks!
I'm not a fan of wah pedals. I use a Dunlop cry baby on my band because some songs need It. I own this supawah all my live. Someone of my family bought It. It has a special tone and feeling but you need use It with a worn battery. Because on '70 9v battery were less powerfull than current ones. You can use It with a current 9V battery, no problem, but If you used It with a '60/'70 vintage Marshall's with a new 9V battery It don't sounds good. To much feedback sound. With a worn battery into a vintage Marshall it's great!

Actually old carbon zinc batteries ran hotter than Alkaline. While Alkaline run a consistent 9v, Carbon tend to run anywhere from high 9’s to upward of 13v. Most average between 10-11v
Which would result in a better sound imo as the germanium transistors in the Supa like the extra voltage, much like a Germanium fuzz.
Low voltage can lead to a more staved response that some dig. A power supply with voltage comtrol like the Voodoo labs is handy for trying different voltage.

I don't know what voltage it's proper for It. Just I can say I use this Varta alkaline long life on It for about 6 years. Yeah, 6 years! You can see I don't use It ofen. When I intalled this battery I tryed some vintage '60 '70 Marshall's with this all original Supa Wah. It didn't sound good. A lot of feedback sound when I played those Marshall's a bit loud. But you tryed It with a TSL100 and sounded ok. No feedback sound. Then after 2 years I tryed It again with same '60 '70 Marshall's. Same battery. It sounded really good. No feedback sound while I played those old amps really loud.
I made the youtube video 10 months ago with same battery. I played It about 15 days ago with a '97 LM6100. Again same battery. Defently it's a long live battery, lol.

My favorite is a cheap Vox, gutted and filled with Area 51 internals.
