Zeke Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Getting ready to purchase a wah, there are so many to choose from. Is it really worth paying the extra $$ to get the biggest and badest? Or just get the cheapest cry baby? Torn between wahs...............any recomendations?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NHTom Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Getting ready to purchase a wah, there are so many to choose from. Is it really worth paying the extra $$ to get the biggest and badest? Or just get the cheapest cry baby? Torn between wahs...............any recomendations?? I've been looking at them, watching reviews, etc......I too would be interested to hear people's opinions. I'm leaning toward the vox847 in the more affordable ones and still trying to justify an expensive one...lol NHTom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L5Larry Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 You'll probably get as many opinions as people who respond, so I'll just go ahead and jump in. I have used the same Thomas Organ Company Cry Baby since about 1974. If I needed to replace it I would go buy a Jim Dunlap "Original Cry baby" without hesitation.

Eracer_Team Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 I had a Slash wah and found it just fizzy all the time... got even more fizzy when you turned on the Slash fuz circuit, got rid of it I like the Bonamassa wah.. switch inside has true by-pass and standard by-pass (makes a difference in the high-end when not engaged Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEVIL Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Just a bog standard Dunlop Wah, but it does me - for as much as I actually use it, which isn't much, I'll probably end up having it forever lol!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeke Posted July 15, 2013 Author Share Posted July 15, 2013 Anybody familiar with a Fulltone Clyde Deluxe? I guess I'm leaning towards this one, yah I know, it's a little pricey. http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/ClydeDlxWah/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STEVIL Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 I've seen that demoed on YT a few times now, it's a killer pedal. If I was in the mind for a new one that would be the one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btoth76 Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 ...Is it really worth paying the extra $$ to get the biggest and badest? ... Hello! Usually it does worth, but as far as wahs are concerned, I'm totally happy with the cheapest VOX V845 (made in China) pedal. It sounds great, and I'd say it's quite realiable. The hinges started to squeal after a year of use, but WD-40 treatment solves this. (Mine came with 5-year warranty). Cheers... Bence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guitarzan13 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Also, check out an Area 51. I love mine!! Area 51 I installed the drop-in version in a Cry Baby housing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon S. Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 +1 on the Boss V-Wah. Extremely versatile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfpup Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Stock Cry Baby's suck - but they can be modded very nicely for less than $25 to sound bad a$$. Same for the newer VOX wah pedals, btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
