Re: namm: Ernie Ball Wah???

Are you saying that the EB volume pedal gear control-thing will give more change on a potentiometer than, say, a Vox 847 will? Therefore, putting an 847 circuit into an EB volume pedal will give more drastic toe down and toe up tones?

If so... I'm grabbing an EB volume soon!

Well kinda. Some people have put wah guts into ernie ball pedals but it requires some modding to do so. Have you ever messed around with the pot in your wah? If you have, you'll notice that the actual range for the wah effect is rather small so with a large degree of travel like on eb volume pedals (18 degrees as opposed to 6-8 on normal wahs) you will probably have dead spots on both ends. I think what they do is use larger pots with wider tapers. But...save yourself the hassle and get one of these

Now with my rackwah, that is different because the design is specifically made to use the volume pedals and there is no pot.

Ok, when do these go on sale? Where can I get one? How much will they cost?

No controls or switches to alter the tone or whatever?

Re: namm: Ernie Ball Wah???

I dunno...since these are brand new, who knows what will change (if anything) once the production ones roll out.

Who cares. Some of the best ways have an on/off switch. That's all I need.

According to EBMM, the new Wah pedal will hit stores in Dec. Just in time for Christmas!

I like to personalize my settings.
Note: I used to have a Dunlop DB-01 Crybaby from Hell, which is tweakable beyond belief
