Members jake.lind Posted October 24, 2007 Members Share Posted October 24, 2007 You could even leave the gear on the pot for a sweet-looking DIY look! But seriously, if you're looking for a cocked wah sound, what better to simulate it than a cocked wah itself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TomCTC Posted October 24, 2007 Members Share Posted October 24, 2007 If you can't find a Q-Zone, the Boss PH-3 has a pretty good cocked wah sound if you put the rate all the way to 0 and mess with the depth and res knobs. But I suppose that would be more of a cocked phaser sound. Even better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members slight-return Posted October 24, 2007 Members Share Posted October 24, 2007 you know what would be really cool If someone made a cocked wah pedal, but with an expression pedal input so you could adjust the filter "position" of the cocked wah in real time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Pengrin Posted October 24, 2007 Members Share Posted October 24, 2007 It may not be the best quality but the Ibanez AW7 does this. Yes its an Autowah but if you set the sens control to zero (sorry if I'm wrong I think its the sens control) it becomes a wah pedal with a fixed response, ie just like the Q zone. Just another option. I use one. Never had a problem with the switch like some people do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members L6Sguy Posted October 24, 2007 Members Share Posted October 24, 2007 Nice. What do they normally sell for on fleabay - and how often do they show up? kinda rarely, prices all over ($50-100) but never out of hand, especially for what it offers (the blend function makes it so much more than just a 'lead' pedal). worth keeping an eye out for, definitely. i've heard mention that its the same system found in one of the LAB amps.

So how, and where in the pedal chain do you use yours. My brother has one kicking around in a box somewhere and I have never really managed to get a great sound with it. I think I was missing something with it and don't really know how to use it properly... any suggestions? P.s. sorry to hijack the thread! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members only_shallow Posted October 24, 2007 Members Share Posted October 24, 2007 take your wah, take out the switch put it in another box, set the wah into place to do that sound and just dont move it. bam there you have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members flanging_fred Posted October 24, 2007 Members Share Posted October 24, 2007 back on the subject of the cocked wah. A slightly off the wall suggestion... My old Charvel Spectrum has an active circuit in it that works like a built in wah pedal ( I guess that's why they called it the spectrum, a wide tone spectrum, see?). Anway these are called the jackson j1500 pre-amp or something similar, and can be bought off ebay once in a while. Putting one of these in your guitar would certainly give you a cocked wah sound without the need for any pedals at all. Being a bit of a Michael Schenker fan I rather like it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Boron Posted October 24, 2007 Members Share Posted October 24, 2007 Yes, that can work, but it really depends on how wide of a Q (bandwidth) you're willing to accept. Most wah pedals have a pretty narrow bandwidth; your typical graphic EQ pedal would probably have a wider bandwidth, and thus it isn't going to sound quite the same, although it's the same basic concept. A parametric EQ (a TRUE parametric, with adjustable bandwidth) would be the better choice IMHO. That's why I rock the Arion - has the narrow/wide bandwidth knob. Yeah!

Thanks for the info. I'll definitely keep my eyes open, and if you happen to hear of one being sold, I'd appreciate hearing about it. i've heard mention that its the same system found in one of the LAB amps. Looks kinda similar to the tone controls on the Lab Series L5 I used to have (Bass, Frequency, Midrange, Treble, Multifilter), but while that was a good amp (one of the few SS amps I've ever really dug a lot), I suspect the Pearl is capable of being a bit more extreme in its range - the L5's tone / filter controls were good, but not as dramatic as a cocked and locked wah. And the Lab lacked the blend knob... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had one, bought it for 40euros, sold it for 75 didn't like it that much, it kind of reminded me of the Boss SP-1 the Thriller also did what the filter controls on the old LabSeries solidstate amps did edit : hmmm, well you already know that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Professor Tom Posted October 24, 2007 Members Share Posted October 24, 2007 Keeley Nova Wah but your best bet is to find a wah you like and then take the guts and put them in an enclosure with the pot like a regular pedal so you can easily set it and turn it on. That's what I did about 25 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members mrbluetone Posted October 24, 2007 Members Share Posted October 24, 2007 After using a Keeley Nova Wah for 4+ years at lots of gigs I have found a great many tones that my Cry Baby or Teese can't do in fixed position. The Nova Wah is very adjustable and can go from high to low heel sounds with one switch. It is a great lead effect for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
