Reply With QuoteLeonidas - thats the one I have and it's way cool. Has bypass (Dunlop's version of bypass) and it does not suck any tone from your guitar. The wah sweep is perfect.

Recommend me a Wah Pedal!
Hey fellow fretters.
I was asked what I would like for christmas in regards to guitar, and I think I would like to get a wah pedal. I have never had one, but have been eyeing them up for a few months now. From what I have read in reviews and things, I am leaning toward a Dunlop Crybaby Classic with Fasel inductor, but I am completely open to suggestions.
So... Tell me what you think is a good wah for in the 70 - 140 dollar range, and tell me why! Also, I play mostly classic rock and blues, as I'm sure thats a factor.
Thanks in advance.........

The Holy Grail of wahs is the Fulltone that Robert has. That's what Robin Trower uses and some other great players.
The Vox 847 was voted by a guitar magazine editing staff as the best sub $1000000 wah pedal.
Can you believe how much these things cost anymore?
It's a good idea to try a few before you buy. You may have a vision of how a wah should behave and sound and that can only be found out by playing them to see which comes closest.
