This is a tough one. I once ABed all at the same time my modified Vox Wah with JD Red Fasel Inductor with Riken Ohms and True bypass against a Budda Wah, a RMC clyde and an old vintage vox king wah. Iba iba sila lahat. But i still loved the old Vintage Vox King wah because it just sounded more analog and smoother to the ear. Ang Problema lang sa King Vox, limitado ang range. So, unfortunately, you have to find it out for yourself. Again, you have to bring your whole set up to test which wah fits your gear. By the way, all wah pedals were tested here in manila thru several strats into a Dr. Z amp.

This is a useful comparison. I've also been on the hunt for a good sounding wah, but want the convenience of AC power supply and TBP.

Na-try mo na ba ung Vox V848? Are there other wahs out there w/ similar features w/ better tone and quality (may quality issues daw ung parts ng Vox e)?

What are the other options?

Dunlop Crybaby Classic! You won't regret it! Only $89 too! Serious! This is the Bomb!

In the past I never really paid much attention to wah wah pedals, I just thought it was something you had to have if you're a guitar player...I never really thought anything of it, tone-wise...

Then I heard this one...

how about the maintenance? How do you prevent those pots from getting scratchy? I used a crybaby of my cousin's once. but since he didn't take good care of it, the next time i tried the wah it became really scratchy!

one of the reasons i bought the WD7 is because optical sya so walang wear and tear.

Alex, anong tunog ng Clyde as oppose to Vox?

well, after awhile...or when it gets scratchy...change the pot...

Stratman,

Reese Clyde and moddified Vox had more range and more transparent at mas may frequency bandwidth but the vintage King Vox had a more nasal sound. Smooth sa ears talaga ang luma. I wish I could get a wah with the range and transparency of the Clyde but the softer analog and nasal sound of the vintage King Vox.

any feedback on the hellbabe? I'm a big cheapskate, so this is the only thing I can really afford right now.

trembucker · « **Reply #42 on:** March 23, 2006, 09:00:46 AM »

carabao,
Di ko pa nasubukan e ung ernie ball na yun e. tumitingin tingin lang ako tapos yun lng nakita kong pinaka matino. test ko minsan pag napadaan ako. 2000+ daw. (parang ang mura). pero ang kyut, chrome ang kulay

lam ko mura ang hellbabe.. ganda ba tlga?

Taoistguitarist · « **Reply #43 on:** March 23, 2006, 10:26:11 AM »

ayus lang ok na sya para sa presyo nya.

optical na so wala nang pot na magloloko. pero nakulangan ako sa range nya....ako lang naman yun ha? best way is to try it with another wah pedal.

really? kahit may boost and Q control pa?hmmm... panong kulang? tska ano ba ang ok na wah pedal in terms of range? 535q and the like? kasi wala tlga akong alam sa wah pedals. hehe.. feeling ko yung mga ok na range yung may mga Q controls.. hehe .. o nagkakamali tlga ako? ok kasi sana yung may mattweak ka eh...

for something alittle bit different that may come to your liking:

dod fx-17 volume/wah

IMHO, this a very underrated stomper. perhaps its tone is an acquired taste? but i guarantee: when the mini-screws that adjust the sweep and tone are set properly, it can "emulate" a good vox/crybaby, plus more. to give it more dirt, add a nice overdrive stompbox set to light crunch before it. its "chewy" tone is addicting, i've had a morley and a few crybabies over the years, but when i heard this they were blown away.

for samples check out

www.avibortnick.com - his sample tunes feature this, awesome!

check it out on harmony-central too

metalheadz · « **Reply #48 on:** March 02, 2009, 10:59:39 PM »

we suggest the vox wah, its much deeper than the crybaby but the crybaby has more sweep to it...
but id rather go for a morley instead

if kaya ng budget, voodoo lab wahzoo wah

stat!c · « **Reply #49 on:** March 03, 2009, 07:23:23 AM »

for me dunlop 535Q, versitile... o kaya ung bad horsie II, para switchless. Mas gustoh ko lang ung 535Q personally.
