Favorite Wah of All Time

Re: Favorite Wah of All Time

My first gen Morley Power Wah Boost. I still have it but it is too big for the board so I have a Mini Morley that I use for GP. The Mini Morley is great but there is something special about that big huge silver goddess. I did this solo with the first gen Morley Power Wah Boost way back in 82

RMC3 is tuned for a classic Vox type tone and plays nice with fuzz a la Hendrix, the Crybaby does its thing (Slash, etc) and a Morley Tremonti cuts through for high gain amp tones.

I still want to try a Cantrell and Bonamassa though.

The Parachute Wah is pretty cool, I had a rack mount version years ago. I didn't really like how (for me anyway) I was somewhat limited to the usable range.

I love the Teese wahs and have had a few over the years including a custom RMC3. Hard to beat for the old school tones.

The Dunlop Rack wahs are really cool and are definitely units which will always have spots in my rig. I have owned all three (Dunlop 1S, 1SR, 2SR) over the years including multiples of the 1SR, haha. I currently own Steve Vai's old 1S and I still have another 1SR.

But....the wah for me is and always will be the EMB Audio Remote Wah =) It's just amazing and IMO it cannot be beat for the high gain tones I like. The only thing that can do it is the new EMB Pedal Wah by Ampli-Fier =)

Here's a clip comparing my original EMB Audio Remote Wah to the new EMB Pedal Wah (dialed in for the sound I like):


Here's a video of the EMB Pedal Wah:

A Crybaby will do your basic wah needs IMO. It is also extremely easy to modify and personalize, which is what I really like about it.

Old Colorsound.

Plenty of old old Crybabys.

New stuff, Budda wah, and Clyde.

Re: Favorite Wah of All Time

My Fulltone Clyde Deluxe is absolutely fantastic. I've been through like half a dozen wahs in as many years and this is the best one. So much so that I wouldn't even bother to go wah hunting if someone stole it - I'd just buy a new one straight away.
