Members jr_vw2 Posted June 24, 2010 Members Share Posted June 24, 2010 So I want to pick up a wah to start messing with but there are a bazillion different models. I play mostly thrash metal in standard or drop D. What's gonna be a good wah for me? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members CoqBelliqueux Posted June 24, 2010 Members Share Posted June 24, 2010 The Satch Wah is impressive, otherwise maybe the Hammett model? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members FoonkySteve Posted June 24, 2010 Members Share Posted June 24, 2010 I would suggest a morley wah for more squeley rock thrashingness. Perhaps the Bad Horsie ii??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members elvisart Posted June 24, 2010 Members Share Posted June 24, 2010 Crybaby's are pretty nice. I used to have a Clyde McCoy that was friggin awesome til some dirtbag ripped it off. I've got a Snarlin dogs Whine O Wah now that has a lot of interesting sounds and settings. I never really liked the Morleys, they seem to harsh to me. If you can find a vintage Clyde McCoy - You'd be set for life, the reissues aren't bad, but not the same. Maybe you could mod a stock Crybaby to Clyde specs?

Members scolfax Posted June 24, 2010 Members Share Posted June 24, 2010 I like the newer ones that give you lots of options. You never know if a wah will work well with other pedals, so if you can tweak it your odds are improved that it will do the trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members maxnew40 Posted June 24, 2010 Members Share Posted June 24, 2010 Those crybaby wahs aren't very sturdy. I never got one to last more than year before faioing in the middle of a gig. I finnally bit the bullet and bought a Fulltone Clyde Deluxe wah it has been going strong for two years now. The fulltone is built to last with metal construction and a potentiometer that is made to be easily replaced. Max Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ExiledCrow Posted June 24, 2010 Members Share Posted June 24, 2010 Ibanez Weeping Demon. I like the WD as well, but keep in mind: a) I suck, b) hardly ever use wah, c) when I DO use it, it's mostly just for a bit of color, I don't rock the pedal much. Oh, and it IS big, so if space is a problem .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MuyLoCo444 Posted June 24, 2010 Members Share Posted June 24, 2010 I recommend this, best wah I've ever owned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members metallica_00 Posted June 24, 2010 Members Share Posted June 24, 2010 The Teese Wizard Wah is designed for high-gain playing like that. Geoffrey is an awesome guy and amazing customer support - personally responds to emails and he even upgraded my Picture Wah to the newest specs free of charge other than shipping. Some of the Crybaby and Vox models have really horrible bypasses that suck tons of tone, watch out for that if you are looking at some of their models.

Members jr_vw2 Posted June 25, 2010 Author Members Share Posted June 25, 2010 I would really like to start out on the low end to see if I like it first. I don't want to drop $200 on a pedal that I'm not really even sure I want yet. So what's a half ass starter wah that I could look for used?

Members GreatDane Posted June 25, 2010 Members Share Posted June 25, 2010 if you want a cheap intro to wahs, then grab a used dunlop wah. i've seen them for as low as $20. you'll want to upgrade eventually if you find you like it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BrokenFighter Posted June 25, 2010 Members Share Posted June 25, 2010 Ibanez Weeping Demon. ^This, +3213514687 Best wah I've ever used. You can get from classic tones to modern tones just with a little tweaking. You can set it to turn on from a press of a pedal, or just by rocking it forward a little. Its by far the most versatile wah I've played, and sounds better than any of the crybaby's I've played. And its not some super expensive boutique pedal either, just $100.

Members the_gunslinger Posted June 25, 2010 Members Share Posted June 25, 2010 Here's my current favorite. I bought it a couple years ago, and I still love it. It can achieve a bunch of different tones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
