Which is why many people play electric guitars but very very few of them are actually musicians.

I have a 1990's Clyde, hand signed on the base. Lifetime warranty, as long as MIchael Fuller is alive. Has a wider sweep than my Thomas Organ CryBaby. Quieter and great tone, not abrasive piercing honk but smooth and vocal. Supposedly he was taking NOS and old inductors from military surplus and old VOX pedals at the time. (Not sure how they compare to whatever the source is now.)

Currently, I use a Line 6 HX Effects, which has a lot of models. The one I use comes from their Vetta amps. It is a huge sweep, but doesn't get super trebly. I'd love a Parapedal, but those are quite expensive. They sound unlike any other wah, though. My wah from the early 80s is super noisy, and the bypass is terrible. They since have improved the design.Administrator of the SDUGF

What about them specifically? I have a Teese RMC-4 and I really like it for clean to moderate overdrive. Anything heavier than SRV or Led Zep and it tends to be too subtle though. I also have a Wilson Signature Wah on my main board for gigging with my Marshalls, which is based on the Clyde with four trim pots to fine tune the sound. I'm typically playing heavier stuff with it, so I have it dialed in a bit more aggressive than stock.Originally posted by beaubrummels View PostI have a 1990's Clyde, hand signed on the base.

Many solutions were suggested for this problem, but most of these were largely concerned with the movements of small green pieces of paper, which is odd because on the whole it wasn't the small green pieces of paper that were unhappy.

Clyde himself had nothing to do with it but the guitar effect came to be because of his trumpet "wah wah" technique.
I have a JC-95 that I like a lot. The sweep frequency range control is great.
