Over the years i have tried a lot. I started back in the 80s with an ancient vox wah/swell (i still have it), then a foxx wah fuzz, then a boss wah, then in the 90s, a crybaby gcb 95 (which i also heavily modded later) I just unpacked my sexy new CAE mxr dual fasel thing.
You want to know whats sad? My cheapo morley pro series is still the best sounding. Less feedback, more focus, a wider sweep, no sudden on/off vibe on the taper, no noise, no pots. Just an on/off switch and a level control -and no magic inductors. I know the tone purists will poo pooh me, but im basing this on my ears and nothing else.
Usually when you get a new pedal and try it out, you have the honeymoon period and rave about how cool it is. Yes the mxr/cae is a killer wah (its the best inductor based wah i have tried), but i think im gonna stick with my old morley pro series and put the CAE in the dusty drawer with all my pedals that did not make it to the permanent pedal board. Oh well....
