The Ibanez WD-7 Weeping Demon...no other wah has the tone control and versatility that this one has, plus you have the option of using the wah in "Auto-Switch" mode or "Normal"...in other words as soon as you step on it, it turns on and vice versa

hey I have Dunlop's Cry Baby 535 with 5 tone knob, volume boost and tone control, very nice thing. But I ve heard they recently released new wah wahs with a new chipset (it starts on F but fogrotten the name now , sorry) which improves the sound and makes it more vintage, similar to older cry babies, I suggest check them out, visit their webiste for more info,

later bro

I'm considering picking up a Budda as it has true bypass, or simply modding my Vox V847...which still sounds better than any crybaby I've tried.

I love my Morley wah-pedal, but it's a very different animal then Cry-baby. May or may not be your thing. If you want Cry-baby though, I may have an older 535 for you, PM me if interested.

I use a Budda wah - it's simple, sounds great with distortion or clean, has true bypass and is built like a tank... That's all I need in a wah - six different tone ranges, a volume / distortion switch, boosts controls and all that stuff would just confuse me ;)

How would you guys say the Bad Horsie wah compares tonally to the classic Vox/crybaby fasal sound? Does it have a drastically different tonality or do they all basically have the same sound just with differences in bite, etc.?

I really like the Wah sound JP gets on Voices and even the big solo in the beginning of This Dying Soul.

I also like Steve Vai's Wah sound on both the live and G3 performances of For The Love Of God. The latter is the BH and the former is...? Cry Baby?

I guess my point is... how much of the difference in the wah tones of the Dream Theater songs and the Vai songs is the guitar tone itself and if I'm fond of the Cry Baby sound if I'd be dissapointed in the Bad Horsie(Which I am very interested in because of the switchless operation.)

I don't have Bad Horsie, I have Pro Series Wah (with a switch). It sounds VERY different from Crybaby. Crybaby's works in a narrower range than Morley, and it has more bite. Morley is more subtle and mellow, and instead of range selector has blend pot that blends dry and wet signals.

Big Poppa, are you implying there will be EB Wah pedal shown at NAMM in Indy????

I had a BH for a while, and I thought the Bad Horsie is a great wah when you're playing distorted or heavily overdriven guitar, but I don't think it holds a candle to the Budda in the clean department...

Big Poppa,

Hey, I did recently trade in my Dunlop Cry Baby and a Boss FV pedal for $$ to purchase my VP Jr. So, I'm in the market for a wah as well. I'd love to have an Ernie Ball wah pedal... :cool:

Care to spill any more beans on that subject?
