WHO MAKES THE BEST WAH PEDAL

[parntz145]

Who makes the best true bypass wah pedal? I want one that will not effect my tone when not in use.

Re: WHO MAKES THE BEST WAH PEDAL

Actually. I'd mail John (JGCable) and have him modify you a pedal. Can't get better than that!

Re: WHO MAKES THE BEST WAH PEDAL

The word I hear is the Ibanez demon has gotten alot of really good hype about it. I've almost picked one up to check it out..again, such a thing as effects is subjective as to what works for you. (not trying to take away from John here in the least-I would love to try one of his modded Vox or Dunlaps)

Re: WHO MAKES THE BEST WAH PEDAL

For a stock pedal I would go with the Bad Horsie 2. It has a custom buffer circuit that IMHO is as good as true bypass. I should know. I have done a ton of tue bypass mods.
My second choice would be a stock GCB-95 with the vocal mod, midrange mod, buffer circuit removed and true bypass installed. Killer.

My favorite wah is the Fulltone Clyde.
It has that old Clapton full throaty, croaky, tone.

Geoffrey Teese wahs are very nice too.

Morley's Mark Tremonti wah is my favorite.

Re: WHO MAKES THE BEST WAH PEDAL

Ive got the original Bad Horsie, I like it alot, but I dont think I would call it the best. The bypass is great, and the switchless feature is killer, the tone is smooth and silky, as is the pedal's feel. The Electro-Optical feature instead of a pot is pretty cool too.

Only problem I have with it, is the treble doesnt really go as high as I would like. Its also kinda noisy, it carries its own "atmosphere" as soon as you step on it.

Re: WHO MAKES THE BEST WAH PEDAL

I pretty much use vintage Vox and Thomas Organ wahs, have a a couple Maestro Boomerangs, Foxx, and Colorsound. The coolest one I have is a UK made pre-Clyde silver Vox wah.
I really like the older Italian Jen Cry Babys. I think I'm going to mod a couple for true bypass.

For new wahs, I like the Teese wahs.

Re: WHO MAKES THE BEST WAH PEDAL

I also use the Bad Horsie (original) and have to agree with nonamemx. It's great, but not the best.

Teese RMC.

Re: WHO MAKES THE BEST WAH PEDAL

Teese RMC Wizard for high gain wah, RMC-3 if you can afford it for high gain + porno clean wah.

The Bad Horsey always sounds like an ice pick to the ear in the high frequencies to me.

The old crybabys sound pretty good, but I don't care for the new ones. Also, the old ones are hit and miss.

Re: WHO MAKES THE BEST WAH PEDAL

Someone have a link to the pages with all the mods for the Dunlop GCB-95?

Re: WHO MAKES THE BEST WAH PEDAL

I use a Vox with true bypass mod, which is pretty easy to do yourself BTW.
