Wah pedal ?

capo4th

I like the occasional sound of a wah and use a Mad Snow White for this purpose but something tells me I need a wah pedal in my life. Fulltone Clyde deluxe Mission Rewah Pro Buddy Guy Crybaby What are we saying on wah at the moment?

That looks like a quality piece of kit thanks will check out some demos and reviews

I'm saying 'Morley Mark Tremonti Power Wah' - £150 new / £70 - 90 used.

Bloody amazing piece of USA Made kit. Built in adjustable boost, auto off switch so the spring loaded treddle simply activates it and controls the wah effect when you step on it and switched itself off in roughly half a second after you let your foot off it, really great sweep and so easy to control.

Not the cheapest but the best I've ever used.

Second place goes to my old wah pedal - the Ibanez Weeping Demon (Was £95 new when you could get one). Spring loaded auto OR manual side switch with traditional free action treddle, adjustable everything including 'Q' sweep - discontinued now but the Weeping demon junior is still available at GAK for a very reasonable £70. It's smaller than the original and only has the auto spring loaded function but still highly useable and a great sound.

Auto wah isn't for everyone but it does reduce the concentration needed to operate it, leaving more room and time for playing.

If you're lucky enough to find the original 'Weeping Demon' still in stock somewhere, rip their arm off.

Black Cat Pedals Mona Wah ?

My favourite is the Weeping demon. Best Wah Ever (IMO), and so many variables, and pots to adjust to sonic perfection*. Down side is it is fucking enormous, roughly the same board area as 3 1/2 Boss pedals.

*YMMV etc, but for a heavy rock/metal wah it's the best.

BYOC kit? Mega tweakable

I have some Vox shells I may be letting go shortly if you need a pedal to build a self-build into?

i have this

The MC404 CAE Wah was developed by Bob Bradshaw of Custom Audio Electronics and the Cry Baby design team with the goal of creating a highly versatile wah-wah of top-grade components. It features dual Fasel inductors with two distinct voices (high-end emphasis or low to mid resonance), and a built-in MXR MC401 Boost/LineDriver adds even more flexibility. Choose between inductors and turn the boost on or off with the side-mounted kickswitches; bright LEDs on each side of the wah indicate operation status. The MC404 boasts true hardwire bypass, a long-life CTS potentiometer, and internal pots for "Q" and gain adjustments.

superb kit - look round for a second user as new theyre not cheap ... but it should feature on your check out list

+1, went through a 2 year search to find 'The Wah' and this is the one that stayed. That said, if you coud build this into the Morley Tremonti packaging with the switchless on off, that truly would be 'The Wah To Rule Them All' for me

+1 for the CAE, I love the dual fasel option :-)

+1 for the weeping demon. It is a pedal board hog though. Mine has been replaced for a AMT Japanese girl wah but I have still kept the weeping demon. It is better sound than the AMT

+1 for the Morley Tremonti (although it does take up a fair bit of space). Borrowed the singer in the band's Zakk Wylde CryBaby for one of our gigs, it had nowhere near the range of the Morley.

Another vote for the CAE, great pedal.

+1 for the weeping demon too. I've got the junior version, and hands-down it's the most expressive wah I've ever used.

Just wanted to thank you fellas for the recommendation. Got a weeping demon recently for 45usd. Much better compared to the "adjustable" 535Q imo.
