Trouble Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 Anybody using any of the more exotic ones? I was really curious about the Budda Budwah and the BBE, has anyone used either enough to compare them to something for me? These two are really the only ones that I have never been able to hear in person. Besides that what does everyone use?
DetroitBlues Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 I've tried the Vox 847 & 845, also the Dunlop GCB-95, GCB 95Q, GCB 535Q, and the GCB-95F. Not to mention Digitech's and Boss's multieffect expression pedal wah's. The best one I've used has been the GCB-95F. It has the Red Fasel Conductor and its True Bypass. The others are too expensive to even bother with to me. If we think about it, all the Wah hero's we've known over the years didn't have all these custom boutique wah pedals available today. Even now, they'll use their signature models which aren't much different then the standard Wah's. Maybe a couple minor parts swaps and some fancy colors and designs, but still the basics are the same....
GuitArtMan Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 The Teese Picture Wah ended my wah search probably 10 years ago or so. Still going strong.
212Mavguy Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 Area 51 wah. Boutique, tweakable for what you like in your wah thang. Spendy and worth it.
koula901 Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 Area 51 wah. Boutique, tweakable for what you like in your wah thang. Spendy and worth it. Wow! They'll even make a lefty version of this wah!
KSquared Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 I have the BBE. I like it just fine, and I like that it is true bypass so in theory it is not adding noise to the signal when not on. It's the only wah I've ever had, though, so I can't compare it to anything for you . . .

Trouble Posted October 14, 2011 Author Posted October 14, 2011 Fulltone Clyde Deluxe, Teese (RMC) Wah, Dunlop Jerry Cantrell Wah I love Jerry Cantrell and Alice in Chains, I thought abought ordering the Jerry Cantrell wah when it came out, but except for the Brass casing I really didn't see where it was any better than say a 535Q. Is it?
Trouble Posted October 14, 2011 Author Posted October 14, 2011 Depending on how things go with the new band, I may eventually upgrade to a new wah. Either the MXR/CAE or a Teese, or perhaps I'll by a used one on Ebay and send it to Keeley. Decisions,decisions.
bobmeyrick Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 I have Cry Baby, but I also have an Ernie Ball Wah, which has a smooth action and a nice positive switching action compared to the Cry Baby. It is possible to alter the range of frequency sweep on the Cry Baby by changing the point at which the rack attached to the pedal engages with the pinion on the potentiometer - the possible range of rotation of the pot is greater than the linear movement provided by the rack on the pedal.
smurph1 Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 Crybaby, the original. Yeppy..don't know why, just do..
tbonesullivan Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 Morley Bad Horsie II. Two modes, standard and adjustable contour, optically activated, buffered output, and even adjustable cutoff delay after you stop moving it. Sounds like a wah, built like a tank, has an easy access battery door too. I used to have a crybaby, and this is in a whole different league, IMO
Guest HRB853370 Posted October 15, 2011 Posted October 15, 2011 An old lady from Alabama walked up to a young lad on a bike and she looked at it and asked son, where are your pedals? The boy replied, wah pedals?
BLS Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 Check this one out: http://plutoneium.com/aboutchiwahwah.aspx
koula901 Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 Yes, I had the plutoneium - it's a nice wah, it just didn't get along with my wampler distortion pedal, so, I sold it.
