Hi all,

I'm looking for a super small wah pedal. I like the size of the zvex wah probe but wanted more of a traditional rocker pedal configuration. Any suggestions?

Chi Wah or AMT Japanese Girl or something like that?

Wow! Thanks so much! Think I'm leaning towards the chi wah. Like the range on that little sucker!

You're welcome, no problem, this was an easy question.
I don't know whether there are more like these.
By the way, the Chi isn't a traditional rocker thing I think, it works a bit more like a gas pedal somewhat.
Oh yeah, there's the Jacques thing, Trinity or something?
That one uses some sort of plug in pump thingy to control the sweep.

The Jacques trinity is interesting but still leaning towards the chi wah. On the hunt for a good deal!

I searched Chi Wah and went to the website. Click if you need a good laugh: http://www.chiwah.us/

Despite the hilarious website I still kinda want one.

The Trinity is a really awesome sounding filter although the foot pump style pedal isn't as controllable as you might hope.
I have wanted one for awhile and still do, especially after finally trying one when I picked up a Mu-tron C200 volume/wah on craigslist a couple of years ago.
That thing is AWESOME (but off topic).
I had a Chi wah wah. Fun little pedal and a tank, but I just couldn't bond with what the knobs did.

Yeah, the Mu-Tron may be in contention for largest wah. Certainly one of the heaviest. (Maybe mot as wide as a Morley, but probably as long.)

True. Worth building a board around though. Especially with an octave divider and some sweet vintage EHX.

You should try a DOD FX17. Great pedal.
I also enjoy the tone of the Boss FT2 exp in. maybe with a AMT mini expression pedal? But, I guess that defeats the purpose so just try both the Japanese girl and FX17.
Otherwise, there really isn't much out there in the way of mini treadled volume, wah or expression pedals. You're kind of limited.

just picked up the fx17 on eBay.

My man. They're tanks I tell you.
And they don't use a potentiometer so it won't ever get scratchy.

fx17 is tits

Don't forget to play with the trim pots!

Indeed.
Here's a great tutorial/breakdown on it
