REVERSE WAH "A/B" Setup?

[515O_GUY]

Hey there all.

I am designing a guitar rig right now. I have my own sound but I also figured that if I'm dropping a few grand to build this I might as well make it so I can create any sound I want. That got me thinking about the David Gilmour "seagull" effect. That effect is essentially a wah pedal plugged in backwards with a delayed echo layerd in the signal path.

I could purchase the seagull pedal for Jam Pedals... but I already havve a CryBaby Junior at my foot running to the rack and a switcher. Why not just build the effect in as a preset with my delay and maybe even some reverb?

So I figure this will be the best way to do it. The only linchpin is the wiring of the Wah. How would I rig the Wah into the chain so that it will be correct with the tap of one foot switch and "reverse" with the tap of another.

Anyone have any ideas about how to go about this or what might need to be added in the rig to make the "reversing" of the wah possible?


Love this forum! You all are fantastic.

I've never heard of this actual trick but I'm aware of the sound he makes. I had no idea it was a wah plugged in backward.

I've heard of wahs where the variable pot is reversed or flipped around. I'm also thinking there is something like this with the Digitech digital wah or maybe a particular rack wah.

Otherwise, I would have no idea how to do this, especially with just 1 wah.

Reverse wah? What’s that mean? Bass is toe down and treble toe up?

I don’t know if anyone makes a pedal to do that but it would fairly easy to build. Just need a foot switch and 4 jacks, no power required unless you wanted LEDs.

You could try reaching out to Saturnworks et al to see if they would do it if you didn’t want to do it. And this is just for the wah pedal, the delay might be another hurdle. Can you just use a delay already on your board as is?

Cool!

I’ll look into that after the Holiday (Thanksgiving).

Thanks man!
