What's your favorite wah pedal

[solspirit]

I can’t believe nobody said Vox yet!

I used Morley in the 90s then I stopped using it for a while. A few years ago I went to a guitar center and did a side by side of every Wah they had and I preferred the Vox by far so here we are.

Yeah me too. I've got a little Vox stomp Lab multi effects with a wah on it but its too small for me, I want a full sized wah

I've probably said this before: Ibanez Weeping Demon. It's not true bypass. That's about the only drawback. Q range control. Wah shape control with bass cut option. Level control. Bass/Guitar range switch. Oh, and top end trim pot.
If you can't do it with this thing...

In the pic, it's at the right of the chain.

Both my Wilson Signature and Teese Picture wahs are based on a Vox Clyde McCoy. I've played the newer Voxes, but honestly they're not that great. The Fulltone Clyde is another good Vox-flavored wah.

I'm using EHX Cock Fight with an expression pedal. I like it because it has so many options to tinker with the tone plus a built in fuzz in it.

What’s the auto-on/off and spring resistance feature like?

There is no wah signal until the wah pedal is moved. You do not need to toe down on a button or anything.

The spring pushes it back to zero when you take your foot off of it. My Morley Liberty Wah works that way also.

It is just step & go. Spring makes the rocker action lighter/heavier.

Weeping Demon was a helluva wah.

Was?

Was?

Do they still make it?

I have no idea. Figuring that it's a "7" series, probably not.
But I have mine.

They made some Demon Jr. thing recently. Meh....

The 7 series is defunct now, sadly.

I'm looking on reverb and coming up empty handed
what years were they made?

I'm thinking mid to late 00's. I got mine in '10 if I recall correctly.

I've fallen out of love with wah, unfortunately, and it's not because of the tones or the pedal. It's because my left side is basically useless. I either use my left foot to push it all the way down or rock it all the way open. And if I use my right foot, which does work incrementally, then I'm raising and lowering the guitar that's resting on that leg. I know it's a matter of practice, but I don't want to subject my ears to the extremes rather than the musical middle ground.

There are some interesting auto wahs out there.

No one's mentioned the Cry Baby From Hell? Now that's a versatile pedal.

The first thre companies I think of in order are, Vox, Dunlop &, Morley.

My Fractal just modeled the Parapedal I talked about in this thread earlier. Sounds just like the real thing (the real thing I've heard in videos, anyway), so I am happy now.

I did mention it.

Classic Dunlop Wah GCB95. I have a Dime Wah, Zakk Wylde Wah, Fulltone Clyde and an Ibanez WF-10. Nothing beats the classic wah for me.

Wah pedals these days are made a lot better than they used to be. I had an early 80s wah that had a constant 'swoosh' sound along with the wah. Over the years, I replaced the pot a few times.
