THE WAH WORLD!!!(With New Wah's)

may nakatry na nung kirk hammett wah?

[misery]

Saw the vid man.. Damn... that pedal is messed up! hehe. My WD7 is 4 years old now. My gf got me this pedal when we were still in college. Sobrang inalagaan ko to dahil bigay nya kaya naman mint na mint pa walang gasgas whatsoever. Naka flightcase pa ako kaya well protected sha. Take note though that I weigh around 200 lbs kaya kung masisira man to just by the sheer weight of my foot.. matagal na dapat shang nasira.. I dont know what the guy in the video did pero if you dont abuse it and you're lighter than me Im sure its not gona fall apart hehe.

If you're gona buy this pedal though... I hope you realize that whatever you do with it, no matter how much you tweak it.. You will never ever get a classic "wah" sound out of it. I use this pedal much like how Vai uses his Bad Horsie. He uses his wah together with his whammy bar to make wierd sounds. In short, for me its more of an expression pedal than a wah pedal. I make use of its uber wide frequency range during solos to give a little spice and edge to my sound. I dont use it like how Hammett uses his wah where he "wahs" every note. Thats just not what the pedal was built for. Check out my pedalboard demos:

Notice that I switch on the pedal in the toe-down position using the footswitch and I dont even rock it. I just leave it at that position and then I use my Zoom's whammy to make the pedal scream. Why do I even bother clicking it on? At the toe-down position it makes it so easy for me to do stranglehold-babies even with my amp volume at only 20%. In the second video notice how long I held that note at 9:08. That's 17 seconds. And it didn't even decay on me. I could have held that note for days if I wanted to hehe. But I could only make the strings resonate at a certain frequency with my amp infinitely without cranking up my volume to 100% with the help of the Weeping Demon. 

I'm not saying you should use it as an expression pedal too. I'm just trying to give you a heads-up.  If you're looking for an old-school, run-of-the-mill, mom-n-pop kinda wah pedal.. to get that "classic wah" sound, you'll be better-off getting a Cry baby

is it really a must to TBP a wah? 

i just recently got a Vox wah pedal and i'm still thinking if i need to have it TBP modded or not...when the wah is disengaged, i don't hear any significant tonal difference.

maybe the 845 has a good buffer maxi.. some high-end Morleys, kahit hindi true bypassed, maganda talaga ang buffer kaya ok na as is.. yung mga classic wah, yun ang tone sucker.. low end kasi at hindi ganun kaganda ang buffer circuit..

if hindi naman significant yung tonal difference, i don't see the need for it to be TBP'd..

thanks bro!  i haven't tried it extensively but based on the short time i tried it, it doesn't have any significant effect on my signal.  however, it must be noted that i just used it with a Boss SD-1. 

if it will be included in chain of 6 TBP pedals, do you think there would be a significant difference then?

the boss is also a buffered pedal.. try plugging straight to your amp then the Vox-Boss chian.. i'm pretty sure meron nang loss yun.. pero baka nga hindi overly significant kasi dalawa lang..

pag 6 TBP pedals na.. a huge factor that can be attributed to a tonal loss are the patch cables..  
but if you've got good patch cables.. then the wah.. i think meron parin magiging loss.. ever so slightly..

Bro if you have 6 TBP pedals and you have a TBP wah, you're gona loose some top end due to cable capacitance. You're gonna need a good buffer to drive the long cable run.

as long as it pleases your ears, you're all set. don't go with the hype.

[kiiimpoiii]

naka depende na lang talaga sa tenga yun pare!!

[strummer]

Bakit kaya wala na yung refurb na crybaby sa epektos? damn. pamalit ko pa naman sana yun kapag nabenta ko yung wah ko. hehe <does this count as a shameless plug? haha>

[riffscreamer]

Guys, I have a question:

I was testing my newly intonated guitar a while ago. I plugged it in and ran it through my board to check. A few minutes into my playing, I noticed that the DC cable from my PSU to my ZW-45 wah isn't connected. Does that mean that the Wylde wah is TBP?
