lolWAHt?

Post by mutmoo »

I'm looking for a new wah pedal. My Dunlop 535q isn't cutting it. (Alot of sounds but it suuuuuuuucks with fuzz, and I can't find any fuzz friendly mods for it online). Basically, I need a wah that will sound great with fuzz. I have a DE VFM, Russian Big Muff (black box), Peppermint Fuzz, and a Fender Blender.

Wah styles I like: John Frusciante, J. Mascis, Eddie Hazel, Doug Martsch, Billy Corgan, Evan Dando and Ron Asheton

Definitely look into Wilson Effects. Their wahs are phenomenal. I got one of their Freaker Wahs (clone of the Tycobrahe Parapedal) this winter and absolutely love it. Their 12-position Q-Wah gets really good reviews, too.

I believe Mascis has used the RMC1 and the CAE. I'll have to check those out definitly.

RMC2 will have the most variety, that new graphic wah looks pretty swell too.

Only reason I don't want to go for the RMC2 is that I believe that I'll become overwhelmed with its 3 knobs. I'd much rather have a set it and forget it wah, otherwise I begin to question my settings and start going crazy with them.

Teese makes some great stuff, I used to have a wizard, great for high gain wah-ing. The pic wah is good choice for a no nonsense wah, it's pretty much "the" teese wah.
Wilson is also great, I've always wanted a freaker, and the new colorful clone has that awesome filtery sound (teese also makes a colorsound-ish wah, the wheels of fire)
