    O, you wanted pedal advice?!?

    I've heard good things about Real McCoy wahs & Buddha wahs.

    Both very expensive.

    Jesus, I almost fell out of my chair when I read that.


    This may sound strange but try the Digitech EX7. No, seriously. The wahs are really good AND they are tuneable. I've always been a wah purist but not any more. I can make either wah pedal that is modeled sound exactly the way I want it. THEN...you get all the other cool things the pedal can do too. The EX7 is really a sleeper. I'm just saying try one before you buy anything if you can.

    I'm not really sure how I'd improve on the CryBaby Classic I bought from Tone a couple of months ago. I guess if I were so obsessed that I needed to have control over the range of wahness, or really wanted optical tracking. Shrug? The "Classic" model with the fasel thingumjig does sound better than the "Original" model; if yours is one of the "Original" ones, that might be an upgrade to consider.

    I'm very interested in trying an EX7 one of these days.

    I have a Dunlop from 95 or so and it is still going. I will be picking up a Clyde Deluxe this summer though. I have quite a few Fulltone pedals and I am of the opinion, buy it once! I purchased several OD pedals before I bought my Fulltone OCD, and Fulldrive II. I probably will never buy another. I also own a fat boost, and Mini deja vibe.

    Yeah except that if I'm going to play funk, I'd much rather play bass.

    My Fulltone Clyde 1st edition ain't too bad.

    What's wrong with your Crybaby? They can be rebuilt and even improved. A lot of the expense in a wah is the casing, the electronics cost very little except for the inductor.

    I use a Vox 847 and I'm not impressed with it. I wouldn't recomend it. I liked it more than the similarly priced CryBaby but it's not much of an improvement.
