So I had'nt used my wah in years, right, and I tried it the other day (at a mates behest: he wanted to know what sweeps sound like with a wah, and then so did I: it sounds gay, btw) and I didnt get on with it, in general.

I have a vox 847, and I'm wondering, is there something else with a growlier sound and broader sweep that I may find more satisfying for my metal procivities and less 60s and gay?

If not I'm just gonna sell it. One less thing to clutter with, and it should have a good home with someone that appreciates it.

I have one of those and tbh, it's one of the BEST Wah's out there for metal and rock.

Crybaby's are too shrill and Morleys are a W- pedal at best!

However - the Zakk Wylde dunlop crybaby is nice. A shame that it's covered with his name really!

Crybaby from Hell is good.

Bad Horsie is amazing.

The Real Mcoy is meant to be the best.

some of the simple mods you can do on the vox and crybabies are well worth experimenting with. i have had good results mucking about with them vox wah pedals

I always thought that the Vox wah sounded best with single coils.

I know a couple of folks here swear by the RMC (Tease) wahs http://www.realmccoycustom.com/

I'm not too fond of the crybabys myself, but then I don't actually own a wah ATM, and it's only from laying around with them in shops.

Budda Wah is my favorite

Thanks for the opinions folks. I'll start wah-hunting.

In the mean time, I think adjusting it to give a lower sound....and then not using it for another 3 years :oops:

I dig the Cry Baby with Fasel in it. Real thick classic Wah tone. Thicker than the original Cry Baby cause it has the Fasel in it.
