Best Wah For High Gain Shred Metal

[Izza]

hI

I've got a morley Bad horsie which i've had for about 8 years, done loads of shows...finally its bitten the dust. I'm looking to upgrade and have been looking at a few different models

FULLTONE CLYDE DELUXE
MORLEY MARK TREMONTI
WIZARD WAH
AREA51 WAH
ZAKK WYLDE WAH or DIMEBAGWAH

Anyone got any thoughts as to what responds well to a high gain situation.
I know theres a few wah threads, but i want to be specific to metal

CHEERS...................IZZA

I got a Wizard and modded my Dunlop with an Area 51 drop in kit, both are fantastic. The Area 51 is a classic Italian sound... the Wizard is... what you want! All the best.

I like the Fulltone Clyde Deluxe, because it's divided up into 3 frequency sweeps. Shaft, Jimi, and Wacked.

Shaft is good for funky porn music type riffing on high chords.
Jimi gets the traditional Vox type sound.
Wacked is especially good for highgain, because it doesn't sound harsh and spikey. It's tuned a little lower, so it reminds me of a Jerry Cantrell type wah sound.

Clyde deluxe..make sure you get the new updated version though as it's much quieter with high gain.
I LOVE mine

Others I recommend for high gain are
Silver machine auto magic.......... super tunable !
Buddah
Dimebag wah
