Your Favorite Wah Pedals with Auto on/off
Ive been trying to find all the ones like this but im having trouble. For reference im talking about wahs like the dunlop 95q where it comes on as soon as you start pushing down and itll automatically spring loaded-lt come to rest and turn off when you take off your foot.

The Morley ones are the only ones I'm familiar with...the bass wah and the mini one. Sounded pretty good; bass wah was pretty fun if you're into slow synth-y filter sweeps rather than ankle-breaking funk.
The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents.

Morley ones rule. I've only used a standard one, not a Bad Horsie, but I really liked it. It was too big for my board though.
I switched it for an Ibanez Weeping Demon which is rad. It's also way bigger than it should be but it's weird shape allowed me to tuck in one more pedal than the Morley would. This one is super adjustable and you can actually switch between auto on or switch on. It has a switch where it can be used on bass also (this sounds pretty unique on guitar). Aside from it's monstrous size and hideous appearance my only complaint is that the sweep is a bit uneven. It seems to be very subtle for the first third of the sweep and then spike up dramatically at the end. I got used to it but it still throws me off if I'm trying to do big synthy sweeps. They made a Junior version that is smaller and does away with some features, but those are harder to find.

I used a Morley standard as well. It wasn't bad, but I replaced it with a Wilson Freaker that I love way more.
The Morley was great not having to switch it, and I could tap it and do some neat things toggling a delay. But sound-wise, the Wilsons rock.

so much gear...
