Makes me want to break out my Crybaby. Just one of the many pedals that I never seem to use. BTW: When will I ever get on your "Great Transactions with" list? :D

I just broke my wah again. I'm hard in my mine.... This time, I think I broke the mechanism the rocks it up and down. Keeps locking in place...

 

Wah is my secret weapon for solos so they don't get stale...

 

Rock that wah Brent!

Here's one of my favourite songs which has more than a touch of wah...

 

 

Possibly the first track I ever heard as a teenager which really demonstrated the potential of the wah-wah pedal (and what a creative guitarist Frank Zappa was) was this one...

I used to play with a guy who I literally "Wakka Wakka Greg" because of his fondness for the wah……in every sing single we played.

When found in the right hands (or foot!) a wah wah can be a thing of beauty.

If one bears in mind the origin, or at least the idea, of the wah wah, which is not Jimi Hendrix but trumpet players in the 1920s & 30s, then the possibilities are endless.

 

The easiest thing to do is to "do a Clapton", which is to move up and down with the beat, but if you try to actually "vocalize" the notes, it's quite awesome!

"fun with a wah, take 3" :D

 

that sounded cool

 

and thx everyone for those other clips, had never heard any of those songs before

I really like the Morley bad horse wah. It works backwards so to speak but once you get used to it, it's hard to go back to a crybaby. When you stop the pedal returns to the top and shuts off.

The Morley wahs are cool I just hate how freaking big they are...

Brent, which wah are you using in this clip??

 

DUNLOP HENDRIX

 

Sorry, I posted this before I got a reply on the other thread. Sounds killer.

Was a time when a wah pedal was the only effect I had. Used it mostly on leads. But love a good wah.
