How many wah wah pedals is too many?

Unless you’re kirk hamster you only need the one. And that one should be the Budda Black Label for emulating those 1970s chase scene and porno funk soundtracks. And this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EBXU2t4hodo

I actually like the sound and the versatility of the Boss, but it’s such a pain to adjust any of the secondary functions that it’s actually self-defeating. It has probably the least user-friendly editing procedure of any piece of equipment - musical or otherwise - I can think of. The built-in distortion is a bit shit too - but I like the concept of a fuzz-wah, and it’s quite good for that... and the Univibe setting is excellent, which is what I use it for mostly.

Yes, this in spades. The univibe is excellent as is a basic wah, but editing is a pita and it’s “huge”.

I may also have an old Jen, which I recently picked up and its nice and vintage sounding, with a white Fasel. Contemplating either a Xotix or RMC as well...

Addict, moi?

I've had a Vox 847 for around 20 years and done hundreds of gigs with it - sounds great to me and has never let me down (yet!).

I've got the George Dennis still in it's box (I even have the receipt). Cost £69.95 in 1995. Love the build quality on it.

Dunlop. Just the one Mrs. Wembley. Three drive pedals though!

I've actually managed to bring an old Jen crybaby back to life by hitting the pot with servisol 10 and swapping out the 4.7uF electrolytic for a fresh one. Sounds lovely now! This brings me to 5 wahs though
