CAE Wah into high gain amp

[neuroop]

Hopefully this can help someone having a similar problem:

I was having alot of trouble with my MXR custom audio wah running it on the high gain (red) channel on my 5150 III, alot of high end feedback - high end, high gain, and volume related - when kicked on during solos - suspect alot of users here might run into a similar problem

solution: modify both the inductors to sweep less high end and run it on channel 2 (lower gain) of amp, but also kick in the gain /boost (I set it about 3/4 and modify from there) from the CAE

With the boost on - now the wah sounds like it has the gain of channel 3 but without the annoying feedback

For clean stuff I can leave the boost switch off, really dig this CAE wah - I find it very dynamic with many options

hope that helps

i enjoy high gain feedback. thats the magic of tubes and volume! tame the amp dont let it tame you!

that's odd that you had that problem in the first place. i have no problems with my CAE wah and my 5150 (which always has a screamer style pedal on in front of it) unless i turn on the wahs clean boost, which i never need to do.

No problems with the CAE Wah and the Twin Jet either. Love the Wah, it has a lot of features and I find it very musical sounding.
