Here is a live clip from the 90's metal days where I used a wah. My old Carvin DC 200 a JCM 900 50 and a George Dennis Wah with a Rockman compressor sustainer in the front.

The Q-Zone has been much fun these last few weeks. I assumed a dark-thick setting would be my cup, but it's actually the opposite, higher and fairly narrow with a healthy boost.
Liking it so much I decided wth and got me a Petrucci Wah for $140 from Alto Music. It was an open-box/demo but was inventoried as brand-new on July 13th, so it's only 1 month old.
Can't wait to spend some time on it this weekend! I will open it up first just to ensure the stock settings match the manual JP settings, then just play it stock for awhile before tinkering.
This thing is basically the rack wah in pedal form. Adjustable boost, Q, and 6-band EQ.
I've never been into the really vocalized wah wah wah thing.
It probably just takes some practice to learn the slow sweeping effect and precise parking while trying to play well at the same time.
Do these need to be first in line or can I still run into a utility Boss pedal first then to the wah?
(tuner or gate, or even line-selector)
