Read somewhere that the Slash sig Wah pedal has an on/off button for both wah and distortion. I was just wondering, could this pedal be used as an OD pedal as well, to add gain or boost solos and such? If it can, then it might save me from getting an OD pedal as well.

PS: Amp i'm going to use it on, Randall RG50TC. When i get it of course, haha.

Yes, it does act as an OD pedal. BUT, this wah is seriously over priced, not worth it IMO.

Although Slash gets his OD mostly from his JCM800, you could try the following:
Get the MI Audio Crunch Box and a Crybaby (preferably the 535Q for the sake of versatility, or the GCB95F for the sake of less moolah).

Raja Utara is using the MIA CB, it's certainly a Marshall in a box, can wait for him to chime in on that.

The 535Q costs as much as a Slash Wah already....... Last time I checked.......

Wow, didn't know the 535Q would cost that much. So, is the Slash Wah a good deal then? Since its like an OD and Wah pedal in 1 versus the 535Q which has only wah but costs around the same.

Sorry. Double checked Musician's Friend....

The Slash costs an Extra 50USD there... so yes..... it IS more expensive....

Since you're on a budget, why not just get a regular CryBaby (or the Classic crybaby if you want the Fasel) and a Boss SD-1 OD (Or Digitech's Bad Monkey)....... still cheaper..

The regular Crybaby didn't get really good reviews here:

Don't want to get something cheaper but with bad quality.

never tried the slash wah
but afaik, slash's wah tone comes from a rack unit
how his signature wah pedal sounds still isn't known we all need to test it for ourselves

p/s slash uses a silver jubilee mainly
jcm800 is a backup amp =p

Yea, Slash has a rack mounted wah. I'm not really interested in it just because it's Slash', but because it can be used as a gain boost for solos and such. Haven't seen many wah pedals like that. Its like a 2 in 1 deal.

just a noobie...afraid can't comment much on the MI Crunchbox...just that last night at around 10.30pm my neighbour came knocking on my door...when i opened it, she was holding a pen, paper and a camera....then she said.."eh, i thought slash was staying here...nevermind..." then she left... jk jk jk just my dream maybe...

anyways...yeah, what Rossie said bout' the crunchbox is absolutely correct. it gets u very2 close to slash's tone. don't have the wah2 though. can't comment on that. u can try out at my place. but bring ur own axe and amp. mine is just an SX and a microcube

Do you have any soundclips of the Crunchbox in action man?

soundclips...

hehe...don't think anyone wants to hear it....the best way is for you to try it on your own...lemme know if you wanna drop by....i'm in ampang

Ampang huh? Are you going for the Herman Li clinic at Wisama MCA Ampang? Can catch up with you there.

nope...i'll be flying out of kl everyweekend.

if u wanna catch up just pm me...and u better continue talking 'bout the wah2 before our moderater aka "zakk wylde hardest coreest fannest" come in with his hipnotic LP and close this thread...

Well, I just helped a friend to get a 535Q around RM400. The CB is around RM450, adds up to around RM850 for two great pedals, and gives you much more versatility. RM600 for the Slash wah alone, and try to even get it at RM600. Go figure.

Haha, no probs man.

I guess i'll go check these two out then, they seem really good anyway. Does Bentley stock them right now? Or any other store?

Don't think you can get the CB in KL, try:

Ok, i'll check it out. Thanks again Rossie.

Holy crap...JCM 800 as backup?!

Eh... I always thought slash was famous for his JCM800 tone?
He even had a signature JCM800!!!!!!!

Wow.. come to think of it..... I think the JCM800 has the MOST signature models ever....

Slash, Zakk and Kerry King......


Slash


Zakk


Kerry King

WHOOPS! You're right!

The JCM Slash Signature model is an authentic reissue of the Marshall amp Slash has sworn-by since day one, the Jubilee 2555 100 Watt head."
