I'm in the market for a wah pedal...something that can give me the psychedelic/blusey Hendrix sorta sound, and is also suitable for funk. The only one I've seen for sale locally is the Ibanez WD-7 Weeping Demon. Anyone can tell me if it's any good?

Hendrix sound??? I'm not sure if the WD-7 could give you that classic sound but you won't go wrong with Dunlop's Original Crybaby or the 535Q.

Yeah, that's sort of what I figured.

I've tried the Crybaby before, but didn't like it. Sweep range too limited, not enough bite.

Does anyone know anything about the Jacques Trinity Wah or the RMC Wah series? I've heard good things about them.

if you;re going for a hendrix sound theres nothing better than the digitech hendrix pedal
try it and you'll be amazed

RMC have good reviews... and so does the Trinity.. that's all I know.

Basics for wah :
A limited sweep range is suitable for funk --> you can get this tchk-tchk-wah sound easily
A longer sweep range, with wider frequency range is harder to control for riffs, but they provide more flexibility for shredder solos.

Myself I found hapiness in the Teh21 Killer Wail But I didn't try the RMC or Jacques Trinity Wah.

RMC Wah


Tech21


Jacques

crybaby from hell,
ZW's zig crybaby.

im not sure if they'll give you a good hendrix type sweep.... but try these 2 if you're goign for "high end" wah pedals

Yeah... but that's not a wah pedal!!! Not sure if that's what he's looking at because it's kinda hard & limited for live use.

Though, I would love to try it one day. Looks bloody funky & addictive!

actually the dunlop one gets quite close but as reload said, sweep a bit limited.. my classmate has the original crybaby... he likes it.. but he does wish it had more sweep...
and if ur gonna use the original cry baby, better have a equalizer...
get the 535Q la...
i heard its not bad...

More sweep??? Tell him to remove the rubber blocker or something like that underneath the pedal...

Zakk Wylde's tip, don't have a Crybaby to play with so I'm not sure about this.

the dunlop are really old-fashionned, they quickly get dust in the mechanism, and the condensator spoils after a while... blrrr...

Get the Morley Tremonti Power Wah / Bad Horsie . Heard it's good. You can try it out at bentleys.

If you want Hendrix's funk sound.... then you HAVE to get the JH-1 Hendrix wah, with a splash of a Fuzz-face. There's really no subsitute for that.



The wah you tried is probably the cheapest in the range., which is what I'm using also, the GCB-95.



But if you want a Jimi wah with even more Oomph.... you absolutely MUST get the ZW-45, Zakk Wylde Signature Wah



I don't think I can get that Wah yet, at least not until Xmas.....My phone is acting weird and will have to get a new one first.

Or I could ask for a Zakk Wylde pedal board set for Xmas..... YUM!

i knew when i saw u post u sure come up with zakk's wah
haha...
morley wahs are good too... but i think their quite far from the hendrix sound rite ?

Thanks for the tips, guys.

Blacktrix is right - the Dunlop Wah I tried was the GCB-95, the cheap one. No wonder I was disappointed.

Now, I don't suppose there's a KL dealer around that has a whole selection that I could try...?

wohfatt ?
but i damn hate going down there...
always so crowded the roads there...

i don't even know where to park my car.

it is much easier if you go by bus. or a bike like my trusty kapcai

I renamed the topic title... because i'm getting bored with my moderator activity

Bentley's has alot of the Dunlop Wah's there.
But don't expect them to let you test all of them.
Unless you plomp down a credit card first....No service man.

i have the wd7 and i dont think itll give u what u want although u can adjust the sweep range to be very big. there are lots of knobs for u to adjust the type of wah u want there
