Which Wah?

For years I used a Crybaby that I modded with a rotary switch (like a varitone). Worked fine and had a few different sounds going on. I then got hold of a Thomas Organ Crybaby from the 70's and have sold off the modded one. Done.
 
I tried the Ernie Ball wah due to space restrictions on my pedalboard (has top mounted jacks and is same size as the vol jr's) and its really pretty good if a bit generic, but it works fine for those times when I need a wah for my band. That said I like my RMC but couldnt tell you which model it is (it's red if that helps). It's more in line w/Cantrel type of sound to me.
 
Wilson 12 position Rippah Wah kicks ass and is super versatile.
 
I really like the regular Dunlops and especially the Cantrell. It has a good sweep on it. But, I usually end up with the Morley Tremonti on the pedal board. Like an accelerator pedal, step and release. Tone wise, it isn't near that of a Dunlop, but, I sometimes have a problem disengaging the Dunlop while playing. I wish Dunlop would design a pedal with their guts and tone and put it in a pedal design like that of the Morley.
 
Wilson, Teese, RMC all make some great sounding wahs IMO. The CAE is nice too. But I agree with Steve, the Tremonti is so easy to use, has a wide sweep, and is idiot proof. Also been using my modified Crybaby a lot. Sounds killer! (Work done by XSSIVE)

+1. Of the wah's that I have tried in the past 5 years or so.

great wah for the money. +1 Nice sweeps and range
 
The Dunlop 95Q has that "step and release" feature.

I've debated trading my 535Q in for the Cantrell several times
 
Tried the Cantrell wah...it's almost the polar opposite of a good funk/blues wah...more on the dark side. Sounded cool for rock and high gain soloing but not at all what I'm looking for.
 
I bought the Budda specifically for funk, love it for that, but the CAE is more my all around go to these days and I think might work pretty nicely for what you are looking for.
 
Best so far? Love the sound of the Diezel amp also. Must have this rig - and I will! :lol: :LOL:



Incredible chops!
 
How about the EVH?

It has a nice vocal quality to it, sweep is very wide and repsonsive.

Its bright too so is very clear and defined, works good form low to high gain.

Looks cool too. :thumbsup:
 
I've been using my Budda for about 14 years and still LOVE it!!

Dunlop will modify most of their pedals to be switch less for like $70 or so :thumbsup:
