Members Lanefair Posted February 1, 2007 Members Share Posted February 1, 2007 I'm not talking about pedals that you tried for a week and didn't like. I mean pedals that get low scores in the reviews, and that people can't get rid of quick enough. Examples: Maybe the Boss one is a bit harsh?

I really don't think it belongs in this category anyway. It doesn't get that bad of reviews, does it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't get that bad of reviews, does it? I'm not sure. It's certainly not bad, but there are lots of better bass od's out there. Even a lot of guitar OD's sound better on bass than this. Ok I just thought of another one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even a lot of guitar OD's sound better on bass than this. Ok I just thought of another one Yes yes yes! I've had two of these and hated them with a passion. One was a tonesucker of the worst kind and the other one produced some disgusting feedback when on my pedalboard. I really don't understand the acclaim these damned things get. The sweep on 'em is crap to. Now, please allow me to throw this into the mix: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, couldn't find a pic. Looks like most Morley pedals though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members andthenurse Posted February 1, 2007 Members Share Posted February 1, 2007 Morley Wah Vol - absolute wank as a vol pedal and as a wah it licked the sweat off a dead man's balls. Put me off Morley pedals for life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members booher Posted February 1, 2007 Members Share Posted February 1, 2007 The Crybaby wah really isn't as bad as people make it out to be. I know a lot of people who use it with great results. Just because it's not a $300 Clyde by Fulltone or Teese doesn't mean that it's not good. I still prefer my vox, but seriously, I think some of you guys have fallen into the "boutique or bust" kind of mentality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really? I was set on getting that for a while until I found a used Mini Q-Tron. I actually played one in a store and thought it sounded pretty good.

I still prefer my vox, but seriously, I think some of you guys have fallen into the "boutique or bust" kind of mentality. I have to agree. I have both a stock crybaby and a Keeley modded Vox. the Vox sounds much better and it more versatile because of the mods but the Crybaby sounds decent. It does suck major tone but if you mod it for TB its an acceptable wah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members andthenurse Posted February 1, 2007 Members Share Posted February 1, 2007 I have a Crybaby - pretty cheap to buy and mod, and i prefer mine to most of the vox wahs I've heard. I'm not that obsessed by wah to spunk a {censored}load of cash on boutique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Lanefair Posted February 1, 2007 Author Members Share Posted February 1, 2007 The trouble with my crybaby is that the best part of the sweep happens very early on, and not for long enough. I've TB'd it and a few other mods but the pot/inductor reaction is crap. It's meant to be a wah pedal not a _______wah________ pedal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
