Morley Power Wah, mostly because all I had to do was move an LED around to make it not rape my low end and I can't break it by using it too hard, for I am quite a large fellow and wahs with bitch ass plastic enclosures die.

I've been through some Wahs and still have not found the right one:

In the past...

Snarling Dogs Mold Spore Wah: Big, heavy, huge sweep and with an incredible ring mod side. But it ate batteries like popcorn and I could not find the tricky power adapter. Besides from that the wah had an integrated boost which made it unusable for me.

Zvex Wah Probe: Easy to set up and use. But didn't give me the wah sound I was looking for. Expensive, especially with the adapter plate.

MG Music Stax Rocks Wah (big version with Tone Tender fuzz inside): Cool vintage vibe. Versatile (switchable between old Vox and Crybaby sounds). But with a very small sweep (I accidentally deactivated it more then once), expensive and not all sounds were usable.

Currently...

Ibanez WH10V2: Good sound, especially with distortion/fuzz, small footprint, indestructible metal case, great price. But without a light indicator and difficult to turn on/off sometimes.

Looking for...

Chicago Iron Parachute Wah for a reasonable price. I already own the Pedalflanger and it's awesome. But these are huge + heavy.

I had a wah once, and lent it to a friend, who made this fucking atrocious youtube video that he later deleted. It was so awful, I sold the wah pedal.

^^^^ Pretty standard stuff, really. :p Needing most definitely to hear this, sir. Sounds great I bet!

I haven't had or played many, but I love the vintage Fender Fuzz Wah that I have. Can get me that Sabbath 'Electric Funeral' tone, so I'm all good. And it's built like a tank. Can feedback endlessly too. An old friend I used to play with referred to playing it as trying to 'tame the dragon.' :lol:

The Dunlop bass wah is awesome on bass, and terrifying on guitar-if your into noise rock/psychadelic ambient music the dunlop bass wah is perfect for guitar. Right now I am borrowing my bandmates Behringer hell babe wah, it's pretty good, it's in the optical style where it's on when you step on it, but not optical.

it sounds like you're creating a black hole or something.
Hey Ed, is that one of the inductorless wahs? I have an old DeArmond Weper, and it's bascially a Clyde McCoy inside -- same enclosure as yours though. HUGE thing. Sounds great.
Good deals done with all these guys
