Members PFDarkside Posted June 13, 2006 Members Share Posted June 13, 2006 Are the only options for switchless wahs Morley and the Ibanez Weeping Demon? I'm interested in a completely modern wah, almost the opposite of how I've heard the Picture Wah described (transparent, etc...) I think the Morley Tremonti would fit the bill, any opinions on this wah? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members comfortablynumb Posted June 13, 2006 Members Share Posted June 13, 2006 I don't know about the Tremonti wah, but I own a Bad Horsie 2, and I love it.. Especially the switchless part. I don't think I could go back to using a regular wah. The Tremonti is probably a good choice. You just have to go try one out, I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members PFDarkside Posted June 13, 2006 Author Members Share Posted June 13, 2006 I was also wondering about the Bad Horsie 2. I'm only vaugely familiar with it, though. What kind of adjustments/tweaking can be done with the pots? Are there basically two wahs in one with the footswitch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gappie Posted June 13, 2006 Members Share Posted June 13, 2006 the silvermachine wah is also switchless. well actually not really, it has a switch to choose between modern and vintage.nice wah, had the first version, but sold that a long time ago. bit to modern for me i guess.

To be honest, I really don't use the contour wah. I like the sound of the normal wah. It requires use of the switch anyway. I guess you could say that it's two wahs in one.

Members Richard Guy Posted June 13, 2006 Members Share Posted June 13, 2006 Boss EX-7, not your typical 'switch' design. Two wah settings (Cry Baby and Clyde McCoy) and 7 assignable OD/Distortions to add or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boss has a V-wah.. but I think it's switchless.The Digitech isn't either.. it switches on like a normal wah. It just has a heel switch added for turning on the distortions.

Members Richard Guy Posted June 13, 2006 Members Share Posted June 13, 2006 Hello comfortablynumb,I cannot see either the heel (or toe) switch as you can see on conventional wahs. Its of a different 'switching' design. The two wahs in the EX-7 are very nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members porsch8 Posted June 13, 2006 Members Share Posted June 13, 2006 I think there are switches on the EX-7 They are little pads at the front and back, rather than tall normal switches that most wahs have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Boss V-wah is not switchless. There's a switch in the toe for bypass and a switch in the heal for presets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members omor Posted June 13, 2006 Members Share Posted June 13, 2006 the dunlop bass wah has no switch, its not intended for use with guitar due to the freq response of the filter but theres no reason you couldnt put the circuit of your favorie wah in there...Omar (guy from mars volta) actually uses one of these stock I believe.

Members aeroslepperin Posted June 13, 2006 Members Share Posted June 13, 2006 i think the gig-fx wah was also switchless, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 68CUSTOMLESPAUL Posted June 13, 2006 Members Share Posted June 13, 2006 I have the VWah and I would call it switchless? Not sure what you mean but it "switches" by use of infrared........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two wahs in the EX-7 are very nice Well, you're right.. it's not a conventional switch.. but it works the same way as regular wah pedals.. as in you have to press down (rather hard) to turn it on. I guess that's what I meant. I never got around to trying out the wahs in my EX7, don't really need them. I hear they are good though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what you mean but it "switches" by use of infrared........ You need to press hard at the toe to turn the pedal on. That's the switch. With the switchless, all you need to do is put your foot on the pedal. The infrared is used to detect the pedal position (instead of the standard wah pot), but there are still switches for changing bypass and presets.
