buying wah, need advice

[sith]

hello again, I'm building up my pedalboard and currently searching for wah pedal... I've checked many youtube videos and read many harmonycentral reviews but still I have no clue whitch would suit me best..

my gear is fairly simple, but i love my tone and I don't want to compromise it by noisy or tone coloring(when off) wah:
-JP 6
-ENGL powerball with NOVA delay in the loop
that's it

Second thing si that I play in two bands, first is kind of old school metal and second is pop-rock... that means I need wah which is good at handling overdriven signal and is also good for some clean funky stuff.

So far my eyes are upon Ernie ball, morley bad horsie ( I or II ???) and not interested in Dunlop wahs

let me make it short, preferences are:
- true bypass
-large sweep
-great with overdriven signal (there's hope by marco sfogli comes to mind)

also if anyone could made some clips soloing with high gain with ernie ball or morley I'd be very grateful.

Thanx and excuse me for bad english

Hi there.

I have a Morley Tremonti Power Wah, and it likes high gain.

Typical well built Morley optical wah, but has a lovely little boost dial for cutting through on solo work.

Great pedal, well worth trying out if you get the chance in a local store.

I suck, but it rocks.

Well, as You are a sith Lord, you can only go Morley, since it's black and red))))))

Honestly, though, it's a stunning wah for overdriven things, and it's good for the clean ones as well. The EB Wah to me sounds especially great on cleans, but I would like a more aggressive range for the high gain sounds.

thanx for replies, I'll take a look at this power wah (Tremonti) it has pretty nice reviews on harmony-central... now trying to find sound clips.

does anybody know, is it true bypass?

The E.B. Wah changed my rig forever. I'll never go back. I'm not sure there's a wah with a bigger, better, or badder sweep on the market. I strongly recommend trying it.

A.J. is a smart man ... the EB Wah is pretty damn slick. I sold my Budda Wah for it and I won't be going back.

12 degrees of motion on the EB as opposed to the 10 on a CryBaby (which I use, and love I might add, 535Q)

I wanna try out a Bad Horsie 2 just because of the auto-return springiness.

yeah, I'd like to try it, but it's not to be found in Slovenia

You might want to contact the international dealer for Slovenia, I'm sure they can point you in the right direction!!

I received my EB Wah a few days ago, and I like it very much... My CryBaby is gone...

I have clips of the Bad Horsie, here.

SoundClick artist: Slingy - A wide variety of different styles and instruments.

The spring is both a plus and a minus. Impossible to do parked sounds but easy to use. I also want to try the EB wah because I love the way their volume pedals are constructed and look and feel.

thanx guys, I'll give a call to our distributer, maybe I'll get lucky..

Nice metal going on there Slingy, thanx for clip

I used a Bad Horsie in the short solo section of our tune 'Bad Boy' with a high gain setting and in conjunction with trem warbling. The link to our myspace page is in my signature.
Just a personal view but I really like the wah tone that Doug Aldridge gets in the latest whitesnake offering 'Good to be Bad'... he uses a Dunlop Custom Shop rack mount wah... tempting... but hey this is an EB forum so try out their units, the other guys in this thread certainly love them.
Good luck and happy spending

From a technical point of view the wha is great too.
I had a look inside and the inductor is isolated (no noise!) and everything is perfectly designed for years of wha without problems.

Well I have two modified Dunlops and a Vox, but I´ve changed for the better.
Take a guess.

Buy it.

i have a bad horse2 it replaced my dunlop crybaby. its cool has to modes a standerd wha and a adjustable modulation mode . But what i like the most is no scratchy pots.
