Title: wah suggestions
Post by: Gary Mcihael Reed on February 10, 2007, 11:45:23 PM
Does anyone have suggestion for a Volume Wah that emulates the Mu-Tron Volume Wah by Musitronic?
This is the Wah Santana uses.
Here's some wah's I'm looking at:

Life used to be so easy.
Thanks

I'm currently using the Fulltone Clyde Deluxe Wah pedal.  Its basically a suped up Vox Wah, used by Jimi Hendrix, etc.  It has an adjustable gain knob and 3 different tone settings.  It also has one heck of a sweep.  This might not be the sound you are looking for, but it's a solid pedal.

Hi parsky1:
That pedal looks to be one of the best I've seen.
Thanks so much for the tip!
Gary

Nothing beats a good Cry Baby. I have one of those and a Morley. The Cry Baby is light, adjustable and works great, the Morley is industrial size.

My only issue with the cry baby is that it isn't true bypass and wah pedals are known for sucking tone.  The Morely is at least buffered, which is somewhat better.  That's why I went with the Fulltone, when its off its totally taken out of the signal path.

Just a thing to look for when you are looking at effects pedals, a lot of the el cheapo ones can really ruin your sound when off. :mad:

I used to use a wah pedal made by Morley.  It was a great product.  That was over 10 years ago and I'm sure they're even better now.

I also had a Snarling Dogs wah pedal that was absolute trash.  About as useful as a turd with a cord attached.

Hi guys:

This one has got a hard wired on/off switch.  And... it cost al little less than the FullTon/clyde. What do you think?
I would hope the hard wired on/off switch would keep it out of the signal path when not in use.

I would check out user reviews on Harmony-Centeral to see how well it works.
