Members scolfax Posted October 6, 2011 Members Share Posted October 6, 2011 I just sold my Vox Big Bad and am looking for a good wah. I am trying out my friends Dunlop 535Q and changing the various settings I can get it 90% close to sounding good. I play a Strat into a Fulltone '69 MKII into a Voxy amp, and I want to put the wah in front of the '69. The trick to getting the Q to sound good is having the boost all the way up. In hindsight I think the Big Bad didn't have enough boost to work for me. It's possible I need even more boost or I guess a fuzz-friendly circuit? My short list includes a Wilson 12 position and a Fulltone Clyde Deluxe, solely on reputation. I don't know anything about Teese but obviously they are highly recommended. I don't care about sounding "vintage", I just want it to sound good. Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members turnitto11 Posted October 6, 2011 Members Share Posted October 6, 2011 I totally recommend a Wilson. I got a Wilson Rippah Q 6 Position and it's super versatile. You can dial in all sorts of wah tones. There's a volume control for the fuzz buffer inside of it for that boost you're looking for. Not a big fan of the Fulltone Clyde, but if you want one, I'll sell you mine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moreso than a lot of other pedals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members turnitto11 Posted October 6, 2011 Members Share Posted October 6, 2011 Clyde for me just lacked lots of clarity. Had a wide range of motion supposedly to give it a wider sweep, but I didn't notice a bigger sweep. Also, it was pretty noisy when running alone with a battery, and just got worse when on my board. Just kinda sounded ugly to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Red81 Posted October 6, 2011 Members Share Posted October 6, 2011 i have a regular crybaby and an ibanez wh10. sounds like that's what you want, but keep in mind the {censored}ing off button is right under and it doesn't "click" like on other wahs, it just goes on and off if you get near it, real bitch to master.

Members Yarmo Posted October 7, 2011 Members Share Posted October 7, 2011 Pretty happy with my regular fulltone wah. The trimpot inside adjusts gain - set and forget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members CaliStyle Posted October 7, 2011 Members Share Posted October 7, 2011 I never owned the Clyde but tried one, (so take it for what its worth) but I didn't get it at all. It just didn't do anything for me. For a little less dough you could try Dunlop Jerry Cantrell or CAE wah. CAE is kinda a popular choice, but it really is like a custom Crybaby, true bypass and two different wah styles plus a boost switch (which I haven't needed to use yet).

Members Hiwatt Bob Posted October 7, 2011 Members Share Posted October 7, 2011 Wah probe is the best wah ever. but if you want a good conventional pedal, i also really like the Wilson Colorful Wah--or whatever it's called--the colorsound one.

Members scolfax Posted October 7, 2011 Author Members Share Posted October 7, 2011 Prefer the Wilson Rippah Q 12 position. Just pulled the trigger on this. Had the most options and a great Burgs demo. Thanks everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
