wahs, brahs

I've tried switching it around in the chain - i.e. putting it last, except for delay and reverb and THAT sounds amazing. Rather than a room with a wah in it, it's like a WAH with a room in it. I especially like the way that the phaser and the wah interact to produce extra peaks and valleys in the tone, plus the gain on the wah makes up for the loss on the phase.

A friend of mine got one of those Rocktron Tri Wahs and I was impressed by it's sound and feel. It seemed to be built pretty well, considering it is not an expensive pedal. Some of the low end crybabies, especially like the one I had a long time ago, you could break them by just looking at them let alone letting your porno guitar epic spin out of control.

is the crybaby fasel noticeably better than the regular one? also is it true that its staticy/noisy when used on a clean channel (reading that in a lot of reviews of it; why would a company release something that does that??)

?

After a pretty serious discussion with my daughter about the lack of pink pedals in my pedal line, I've decided to keep my eyes peeled for a pink Dunlop Crybaby. Apparently it was a limited edition run produced for Guitar Center back in 2006? Apparently a couple have sold somewhat recently for modest rates on ebay, so they must be out there and not in too high of a demand.

There's this Chicago Iron retrofit up on Reverb right now, which is probably very WAOW, but it's a little out of my price range:

So if any of you pedal nerds come across one of these, or if one walks in the door at jjj's store, hit me up.

Good info, jjj!

Oh I also posted an open call for one on our Facebook page, so if you want to watch the results (or lack of) roll out in real time, friend us up. EclipsemusicMN

Yes, I believe I subscribe. ;)

So I bought one of those wahs. It fit the bill. Decent vox clone. Pink as all get-out. A few months later, some of those pink crybabys showed up for like $50 on ebay, but no big deal.

And he only had a couple hundred followers on facebook, so I followed too to show my support for the proverbial "little guy". But about once a month dude will just throw down a tirade.

Did you know? Every time you buy the latest hyped effect you are paying for overhead and advertising? Think. If you desire a certain effect, why? Did you read something, see an ad in a mag/online mag or ad? If you jump in, you are a success story to big money, big advertising money. Is your latest overdrive,etc the best ever? It must be because what you read told you so. How about standing up, use your brain and your ears and see what really sounds best? I doubt I will ever match up with the big money ad folks who latch onto a product and have the money to hype it. I am the guy, like you, who works at his craft and believes in what they do, no matter what. Please "boutique" mass produced effects like Wampler, don't keep insulting the working musician with your claims of hand built effects ( is it warehouse guitar speakers still?) that are so over saturating the market it is sickening.

If you want limited run, hand built from start to finish effects, then join the movement.

Pretty intense.

Well, I'm only 2 years late, but guess what just showed up
