unique wah
hey guys, so ive decided to get a wah and am wondering whats good out there. i really wanted a snarling dog whine o wah cause a buddy has one and they sound awsome, plus i love the fact you can tweak it. problem is you cant find them anywhere these days. i want something i can tweak and make my own, i dont want a signature wah cause i dont want to sound like somebody else.
price range. 150$ genere, hard rockk metal fav wah sounds cantrell hammett (even though he uses it wahhhhhhh to much)(snarf, get it?) and some dime id like alot of range on it as well. i hate thin sounding wahs but to thick is just terrible Last edited by Vicious_Turtle : 12-28-2012 at 12:43 PM. |

Did you try eBay?
I think you meant $150, not 150%. |

I just finished my wah shopping crusade yesterday. For a long time I had a Vox V847A, which was stolen. I did not replace it for a while. A month ago I bought the GCB-95F (Crybaby Classic w/ red Fasel) but I was not in love with it. I considered the new SC95 Slash wah but like you, I am not a huge fan of signature products. I did, however, like the LED on the Slash model. I did not want to spend too much more but I have been looking at the CAE Wah since I bought the Crybaby. It has everything I really want and more. I got an online coupon and was able to order one for around $145 when all is said and done ( I returned the 95F.) I can't say how it will be but from what I have read and videos I have watched, it should be great.
I have tried the Clyde by Fulltone, which is super, but that it beyond your budget.

Vox Wah is the best in my opinion.

Budda make a wah in your price range that's pretty good. That aside, Vox and Dunlop are the standard for a reason. And the fulltone is exceptional but expensive as shit.

i thought abotut the weeping demon, but honestly ibanez products scare me. their guitars have always seemed cheap (except the satriani signature model) and im not sure about ibanez gear. however i read that john fruisciante had an ibanez wah and i thought he sounded great with it

Ibanez prestige series is amazing, their pedals are as well. I highly recommend the WD7, there's nothing cheap about it and it has al ot of useful features.

CAE wah
Big Bad Wah, it's my favorite. a little expensive The sounds you listed really demand the Jerry Cantrell sig wah. I know it's pre-customized but it's amazing for what you want to play, the range limiter really helps get that growly sound |

I've owned a lot of Ibanez gear over the years and nothing has ever let me down. I don't know what conjured up this image in your mind of being cheap, but it's misguided. About the only thing Ibanez can't seem to do is make a decent amp, everything else they produce is good.

i have a clyde as well, you can tweak it a tiny bit with a edit: trimpot, i can't think of a better term atm). i paid like $95 shipped off TGP in box with everything it came with. it has a really long sweep which is nice, good range. the only thing i would buy would be a RMC wizzard wah. there is also a step up from the which is the fulltone clyde i haven't ever tried one though. but i am more than satisfied with the clyde. edit, i replaced the wrong word for the correct term trimpot, thanks cath.

The Plutoneium Chi-Wah-Wah is a nice piece of gear... but my guess is that its outta your budget.

For your price range, you should look into that one. The GCB-95 sounds good once you mod it. Stock it sucks, even the GCB-95F version. Some good Wah mods : http://www.diyguitarist.com/StompboxStuff.htm

those are pretty damn cool. MSRP of $204 according to their site, typically with most gear they are sold quite a bit under MSRP, but it isn't always quite the same with botique effects. would be a little stretch, but i would never not get something you like more for $50. YMMV
