What is a wah-wah pedal
Enam Khan
years. I barely used it cause I hated the tone. It was too trebly. I don't
know if this is a problem with their classic wahs, but it certianly was a
problem with mine. I hope to get a Vox.
Btw, did Jimi Hendrix use a Vox wah? or was it Cry Baby always?

used a Vox, not Crybaby. I realize that Dunlop has a Jimi Hendrix Wah Wah
model, but I think Vox was the brand that he used. I am not 100% certain.

When in use, they give your guitar a trebly, "shakey" kind of sound when the
pedal is depressed

In addition to the other posts: a wah is basically a tone pot with a foot pedal
attached. Rory Gallagher used to do wah wah type effects simply by twisting his
tone control back and forth. Anyway, the pedal allows you to sweep from extreme
treble to extreme bass at whatever rate you wish, giving the guitar a quacky,
crying kind of sound. Listen to Cream's "White Room" or "Tales of Brave
Ulysses" and then to Isaac Hayes' "Theme From Shaft" to hear some very
different but idiomatic uses of the pedal.

I was waiting for this one.. very well done. Probably the best description
yet.
I wasn't aware Hammet used a wah that much... pretty cool
Ok Hendrix used Vox or dunlop... does the "dumbass" really need to come i to
play? chill dude... really...

...100% correct; Jimi's wahs were Voxes-not Crybabys like the
uninformed like to believe.

The newer Vox reissues aren't that happening. For a few $$ more, you
can get a Budda BUd wah-they have the old Vox magic.

always? How 'bout never...Why does everybody think Hendrix used a
crybaby? Dont believe Dunlop's ads...their pedals flat
suck-specifically the wahs and fuzzes.

on the 1996 Ibanez Talman? The talman line has now been discontinued but ti
ran for a few years, (Noodles of the Offspring played one, among many
others). The 1996 version in particular had a few changes done over
previous years including a metallic paint job and a really cool retro
tremelo setup on it. I was hoping someone could give me a quality review on
the new setup.
Thanks,
Blake

really wide range from the open and closed pedal position, and is
relatively cheap? ($70-100?) I'm looking at the Charlie Stringers, but
I've never been able to go play one.

I'm not sure about that. A wah is actually a parametric tone boost, so when you
sweep it across it's range, it's boost goes from the highs to lows or vice versa,
etc. This allows you to get some vowelly sounds (such as "wah", oddly enough).

you'll find it for even $100, but then again, I'm in Canada, and the
conversion rate is too confusing for my brain which is atrophying as we

lot. But for wide range, I think the Snarling Dogs wahs and the Morleys
(at least, I've heard they have a wide range) are your best bets.

Dunlop Crybabys are pieces of junk, IMO. They come nowhere near a the
great original Vox sounds-early Hendrix, Clapton...for a good wah, the
Budda, Teese and Fulltone all are well recommended. I have a Bud Wah
and couldn;t be happier.
The Dunlop fuzzes and Roto/Univibes aren;t exactly happening either as
far as capturing the old sounds.
Hendrix's stage gear-
Stock late 60's (CBS) strats (occationally Flying V, SG)
Vox wah
Arbiter fuzz face
mayer octavia
Univox univibe
(his effects were modded/tweaked by Roger Mayer)
Marshall 100W superleads

not supposed to be able to hear the difference when its on or not.
Mine was a distortion/wah in one.
