Best Wah Pedal

[noodleplugerine]

Bad horsie for me.

Very clever, very durable, and totally simple.

I have an RMC Wizars and love it to bits. The only wah I've found that suits extreme gain or extremely bassy fuzz sounds but ALSO sounds pretty classic.

FWIW I hate the Bad Horsie II, both it's over the top voicing and it's switchless design, I think it's absolutely horrible and renders the pedal with a rotten action, but I only know one other person who doesn't think it's the business so...

I forgot to mention: I will be playing medium to very high gain...

The Wizard sounds interesting...but so does the Horsie....how does the horsie fair with high gain?

FWIW, there's a little bit of my Bad Horsie on this clip - actually, take 2 of it sounds better & is on the second page.

OK, it's only one brief lick but IIRC it's the only clip where I've used a wah.... :)

The Dimebag is made to cope with a lot of gain, that's what it was made for. It will still cut through. On the downside it is a bit harsh with crunch sounds.

It's the only wah pedal I've used that actually works at hi gain - No "slight" effect, the full on wah.

For vintage and updated vintage mods to wahs I found this site really good

i have done some of these to a vox and  crybabies, they work really well

i particularly like the vocal, midrange and sweep mods... add a new inductor as well for a very special wah pedal
