Wahs that don't suck tone?


Recommended Posts

I picked up a Morely Classic wah for next to nothing and that's precisely what it's worth.. I need a wah for two songs and this thing sucks/colors tone so bad that it's not even worth having in the chain(actually I have a Switchblade so it's the only thing in the chain). Any wahs out there that don't cost a fortune and don't do this? I know I can route a loop and kick it out of the chain altogether but I don't what to have to bother with that kind of setup.

I use a Tech21 Killer Wail. Awesome. They are discontinued, but you can find them out there...

Teese Wizard works great for non-tone suckage. Mine failed recently (because I've been gigging with it for the past 3 years) I have to send it back to have them fix it, so I just picked up a CryBaby Classic with the Fasel inductor. Sounds pretty damn good. For 100 bucks it's a great Wah.

I don't use a wah much, but my father's old late 60s Halifax/Hofner Z fuzz wah tears the roof off.

These things rarely appear on ebay, but when they do, they go for $20-40. Absolutely worth it. It kills the Vox, the Crybaby, etc., cost disregarded. Get one before someone famous starts using it and they jump 20x in price.

+1 on the Killer Wail Wah. I love mine. I don't know if it's true bypass or not, but it definitely doesn't suck out tone. The cool thing about it is the voice switch - it's got three settings. Hit the "extended" voice and that tone is incredibly vowel'y, even in high gain situations.
