Kind of like how his ovedrive is really a Boss distortion with about 2 caps that are different. Don't fall for the hype of his name being on a product!

+1

Just because it has a certain individuals name on it does not mean you're going to play as good, or get their tone.

Re: New Zakk Wylde Wah!!!!

I had a crybaby a while back, the cheap $69 one, and I hated its tone. I was gonna buy the Crybaby from hell but a buddy of mine sold me his Morley Tremonti wah for $25. I still want to get a crybaby and should have just had my old one modded.
Since I'm in the market for another wah I thought the Wylde Wah might be worth lookin into. It says it has a fatter and wider EQ which is what I like. But does it have True bypass as well.
Its not availible till the end of the month so a test drive at a guitar shop is on hold. Anybody got any inside info on this baby?

Quoting from the new June Guitar World, Zakk says "my signature wah is basically the Hendrix model on steroids. Plus, you can adjust the rocker clutch torque so that you can easily get that Michael Schenker '****ed wah' tone I use all the time".

Re: New Zakk Wylde Wah!!!!

Get a Fulltone Clyde regular or Deluxe
Any Teese
Budda Bud Wah
Dunlop 535Q

Most others are a waste of money, or in the the case of Vox, a waste of the upper end of your signal. LOL

+1 I couldn't agree more. I've tried the wah at my local music shop and besides the "extended" sweep feature, it IS the Jimi Hendrix Wah in a "Different" case. Not really worth the money ($130) in my opinion.

I believe he means that the "action" of the footpedal can be adjusted so that you can move it to a certain position and leave it there.

I guess k(c)ocked is an expletive. I was just quoting the man himself.

*happily plays with his Fasel-loaded 535Q*

I wouldn't mind the brushed-silver casing, though.
