I can KIND OF see why Hammett uses his wah too much.

Kerry Fuckin' King, I believe.

that guy is such a douche....adding "fucking" as his middle name. damn, you guys bag on hammett a lot, but at least he plays in key!!

okay, as far as wah...i LOVE mine. i have one of the first VOX reissues from when they first came out. it is SO throaty and vocal. the only thing i hate is that it isn't rue bypass. it eats my tone bad. i am thinking about having a pedal loop built for the front of my amp and just leaving the vox on, but bypassing it with the pedal loop....

as far as technique, i agree with something that john said earlier...it takes a bit of skill to manipulate a wah in a good way. for me (like a lot of you) it's a tone filter. i turn it on and move it through a couple of different sounds throughout a solo for drama.

i will shift it while i am slurring a note, or if i am up high i have it forward so the high registers are emphasized, and back if if i am down low...

most of the time it is somewhere in the middle to notch my mids.

it is certainly a fun toy!!!

I have a switchless Crybaby 95Q, I use it more as an flanger or something and sometimes I hold it in a certain frequency to get George Lynch-ish tone but other than that I don't want to use it... even for funk I rather prefer pure guitar tone

for da funk, i use the green DOD envelope filter. works WAY better than trying that with a wah....
