Genuinely curious to see if anybody's ever put multiple wahs together, or if that would just sound completely awful

One man's awful is another man's awesome, but I think it would sound kind of unexciting?

Unless you had 5 feet, it might be rubbish, but I'd love to hear it.

feedbacky oscillating resonant peak most likely.

Thesis: Wahs eat dry mix. Probably wouldn't sound much different from a single wah.

Source: dude who has never used a wah.

Tim C used to (still?) have 2 wahs in series with a board over top to tie the treadles together.

I'll try 3 later on my M9.

gonna sound like a wah

it'll sound like AM radio with that many antennas connected at once

Depends on the kind of wah, mainly the resonance. I imagine it can sound anywhere from a sharp filtered wah to a kind of self oscilating synth like you can achieve with some synth filters. Worth a try.

I had three Dunlop GCB-95 wahs at one time a few years ago. I checked them to see which one I should keep. Of course I also tried all three at once just for fun. Sounds ... not so good. Unexciting, unspectacular, unusable. Two wahs at the same time sound rubbish already.

I take your Dream Filtre in that case!

Yeah, this is sort of where I'm at, too (I've only ever used a pair at once but it's kind of meh).

Good idea. I'll try this on my HD500. Could assign the exp pedal to trigger all of them at once.

I think you'd need at least six feet actually, unless you play sitting down.

Tried it and it sounded mostly bad. Each wah in series adds a further bump to the resonant peak of the one before it resulting in some squelchy madness. There might be some potential there? I dunno, I hate wah.
