In this preliminary episode (yes there will be more, based on the questions you ask following this one) Daniel and Mick get busy with the rockingest - literally - pedal of all time, the fantabulous manual foot-treadle-operated envelope filter.
That’s the wah-wah pedal, just in case you hadn’t worked it out by this point.
We set out to address a number of questions ranging from the basic to the slightly less basic: what is it; how does it react with overdrive and fuzz; what is a half-cocked wah, and just how does the Vox V847 Handwired compare to the standard V847? Burning issues, all.

Rediscovering Wah for the last 18 months after a number of years without one have to say a big thank you to Mick and Dan because until watching this video I have always accepted the way the switch worked and never thought about how to adjust it. Simple to do when you know how!
Finally a Wah episode!! My first ever pedal was a Vox 847 that I bought in 2006 and I still have it today, 10 years after.
Is that Kirk Hammett's board ?
Nah for the Hammett Signature you have to stack a wah on top of another wah so that you can control both with one foot.
I love that you have no thumbs downs!
zaphod888 SRV taped two together for “Say What!”, I like your idea better! Trying it!
zaphod888 Noel that I think of it, that song should’ve been called “Say Waht!”
@@zaphod888 aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°1°°°°°°°°°°°°°°!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaAaaaAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaAaaaaAAaaaAAAAAAAAQAaaAaaaaaaaaA1aaAaaAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa1aaa!!!!!
I bought the Boss Wah pedal you guys have on the very left, and I personally love it and don't plan on switching anytime soon. Best pedal I've ever bought.
Is it because of the Uni vibe?
"You're either fuzzing the wah, or wahing the fuzz."
NEW TSHIRT idea!!
+Ben Cotten And yours is free Ben. Thank you. We think that'll work. :0)
Wah before fuzz for maximum scuzz, as my granny always used to say.
How about an "It's a Sound" T-Shirt?
That Pedal Show hey, this is like, my second acount, so uh, can you send me free stuff for that tshirt idea i totally made, by myself....
Always wah the fuzz imo - thats how jimi did it :)
Dudes, your all's pedals with the faces on them sounds badass. Loving that this video is almost an hour long. Seriously you all are a major part of my Friday mornings. Coffee, great pedal knowledge and playing. Cheers.
My 4 Favorite Wah's are Fulltone Clyde Deluxe ( which is the one - I own ), Also: Xotic XW-1, MXR CAE MC-404 and RMC. All Incredible. Tons of Choices. Very Informative fellas.
Thanks guys! Half way through this video, I ordered a used Buda wah for 99 bucks. Watching the rest of the video you guys both agreed it was the best. Great video.
That SG Jnr sounds AMAZING! Definitely needs to be in more episodes...
You have the best channel on youtube hands down!!! Great info, great playing and great tones! Congrats! Waiting for pt2! Thank you guys
+Ricardo Roquer Thanks so much Ricardo - we're listening to the comments from this video to hone things down for part two. Thanks for watching!
Thanks guys just for being rad, you guys are my favourite guitar people; your genuine giddyness and passion! You guys are cool to watch, also i love that you guys just have a nice and comfortable and very happy to be eachother vibe!
I've also been really enjoying doug and pat and their show ^^
Fridays are the best! Thanks for another great, informative, fun video!
54 mins of That Pedal Show bliss! I'm gonna stop off on my way home, pick up a tasty beverage and the latest issue of Guitarist magazine, then settle into the sofa and enjoy this one!
+Jonny Patterson Nice one Jonny - enjoy! Thanks for watching.
Thank you for this wonderfully enlightening explanation of the world's greatest pedal.
A particularly excellent episode of a consistently great show, guys. 👍
Great show! My favorite channel on UA-cam! I’ve been using a wah for many years. Mostly crybabies but also a few others. When I finally bought a fulltone Clyde standard I was smiling from ear to ear. I have found the perfect wah for me. No wonder Robin Trower uses one.
Me too. Mick here. It’s awesome!
Another great episode! :) and almost a full hour!!! :D you spoil us...and we love you for it. I Love and look forward to Friday mornings when I sit out on my balcony with my coffee and watch the new episode....bliss.
+Hulk Slayer ah, that's awesome H, great to have you onboard :)
Hi guys. you had the drive control on the BOSS V-WAH turned up. Even when in bypass mode the sound is effected. It needs to be set to zero to get a clean unity sound, maybe that's what it was 'adding'. 😀
yep def changed their sound, i noticed they liked it though.
such a blessing that this show exists
+Eman Kcin Thank you!
God! The sound is absolutely amazing. I love that Telecaster.
Just got the Boss wah. Loving it!
I most enjoyed the Vox Handwired Wah
Almost an hour!? This week's episode is a jackpot!
just so you guys know I love this show, analogue pedals and digital modelling. I can't afford as a bedroom guitarist to buy all the pedals I would like so affordable modelling box is great for me. I really don't feel at odds with your analogue is best ethos though as this show helps me understand the models, sounds and arrangements of effects i am using in the modelling box. thank you great show yet again.
Best wah I've ever used is the Ibanez Weepin' Demon. It's the best pedal of any kind I've ever used, infact. It's my desert island pedal. It has several knobs to tweak the sound. It has the auto-return when you take your foot of the pedal it goes off. And it sounds absolutely brilliant.
I hope you have an Ibanez WH-10 in the next episode. :)
Wah enthusiast here. Great inspiring show. Please consider the The Real Mccoy RMC8 and RMC6 models. Also there seems to be lots of love for the Dunlop CAE Wah. And keep doing Dirt pedal episodes it is pure nutrition for rock guitarists.
*insert obligatory Kirk Hammet joke here* xD
Awesome video guys getting better and better.
Killer as always! Looking forward to the in depth signal chain discussion about how to deal with fuzzface/wah/buffers/etc. and the heal down squeal issue. Maybe go with basic Vox or Crybaby. I appreciate what you do!
That 61 SG Junior sounds like an enraged mammoth. Love it.
Hahahahahaha, so I was typing on FB, and came back to this video, that I had been listening to the whole time, and saw, Dan and Mick, with Angus Young styleish SG's! LOL aww now I gotta actually watch the whole thing, boo me getting distracted!
I like the 535Q . The cry Baby Mini is also a great choice for a crowded pedal board. I still have my original Thomas Organ circa '1967(?) Cry Baby, purchased when I was 12 or 13...and it still works.
Awesome...just...awesome.
I learn so much listening in my car.
Studying tone masters on the mountain top...very Buddhist.
Now I know where to put my wah.
Two.
Ok maybe more but who's counting lol.
Main two:
Gig fx Peter Frampton wah (with les)
Voodoo Labs (I think)...the Wazoo
(With Tele and Strat)
Tone unlocked. Happy dance.
Thanks Professors Mick and Dan,
Brian from Detroit
Perfect timing! Just bought the Xotic, have an old 535Q that might be getting replaced.
Great video! Even tho I've been playing electric for ~24 years, I'm always learning something new. I had no idea that a fuzz pedal had such a massive frequency range. I read somewhere that fuzz pedals acted like a filter pedal and mixing a wah and a fuzz was like mixing to freq filter pedals. I never understood that. Your explanation about what a wah does before, and after, a fuzz pedal was really helpful and insightful. I think I like the sound of a wah going into the fuzz, as it keeps the guitar sound large, and doesn't shrink it - for reasons you already explained. And Daniel Steinhardt, does playing the wah bring your inner shred out? :D Good stuff!
Love The Pedal Show and I've only just stumbled across it. Two blokes I'd take out for a beer and a geek out Love it's geeky nature. Going to have to get a t shirt like Dan's. Just hope they do one for the more rotund gent. Thanks guys 👍🏻
Guys, thank you so much for this vid, I learned heaps! Now I understand what the various knobs on my Ibanez Weeping Demon actually do to my signal and have managed to come up with a great sound that is perfect for me! Cheers!
-Tom
+Fritters87 you're most welcome :)
THat vox on the left was just awesome! so much bite and a good tight gradient in that tonal sweep.
I have owned everything from vintage Colorsound, Jen/Vox/Thomas Organ, Cry Baby, etc, to the modern CAE MC404, Clyde, Budda, ... you name it.. The winner is the Dunlop Slash SC95.. something about the frequency ranges it hits and the smoothness of it just plays nice with every guitar, amp, and genre of music. The thing is fantastic.
Dan, that 61' LPJ is the nuts! Fabulous sound through that set up plus she looks mint. Mick, that DT SG roars! \m/ \m/
Just in case anyone's wondering "Q" stands for "Quality" and is usually described as being higher when the frequency band is tighter, I tend to think of it like a knife, a higher quality blade has a finer, sharper point. Bugged the hell out of me through college until I went and looked it up!
“Only a few thousand ppl have seen that face” had me laughing for ages
Man! This show gets better every episode man! Maybe cuz I love wah's. Either Way really enjoyed this episode! At the moment am torn between xotic wah and Wilson effects ten spot! But goodness that Buddha wah! Also that SG! That glorious explosive gigantic sound! Man!....anyways Kul show Thank you guys.
The cry baby gcb 95 should be there, i know its the cheapest but it's probably the most used and sold and modded wah!!
Eddie Hazel took this pedal to another level !!!
Sanjay V the way his pulls it back to the low end on Maggot Brain sounds so cool.
Gotta love the budwah. I got mine for $80 used in pristine condition.
"The way it wahs." Yes! That should be the title of these wah videos!
Great show! Just a few examples of great Wah pedals. The Dunlop 535Q, the Morley Bad Horsie, and the RMC Real MCoy Picture Wah. I happen to have these great wah pedals and my fav has to be the RMC. Mine is signed by Geoffrey R. Teese himself! It absolutely SCREAMS! Keep up the good work guys!
+ed phaze love Geoffrey Teese ways, I had a picture wah too, sold it a few years ago, and now I'm sad all the time
Anyone else notice that most beautifully amazing yet completely unintentional vocal harmony at 15:36? Lol nicely done gents, as was the rest of the video. I agree with the comment below on perhaps doing a video on rotary speaker simulators as long as you can find and lug an actual Leslie in for a authenticity reference. I'm thinking about picking up a Strymon Lex but would first love your opinions, which I hold in the highest regard, on a plethora of rotary simulators. Cheers!
Those custom pedals are more than just a novelty. They sound surprisingly good.
Favourite wah of all time is the Ibanez WD-7. Its like a 535Q but with extra options (bass/guitar voicing switch, auto-switching or morley style footswitch)
I'm using a Silver Machine wah that I've had for several years and I love it, though it's down for some repairs at the moment. My vote for your next wah video would be either of the VOX units you've got on the board there, maybe leaning to the standard one.
I have a VOX V847, Morley Bad Horsie, and AKAI Vari-Wah. I love them all. I use the Bad Horsie the most, because it switched on/off automatically. The Akai does some really cool stuff, it can do some unusual wah effects. You can control the speed of occilation.
Great video, as always!!! Could you guys possibly do a segment on using a wah wah before and after a compressor?
Great episode! I really enjoyed the hand wired VOX! I went from a Hotone Soulpress to a Fulltone Clyde to now using a Cry Baby Classic Wah Wah GCB95F and darn if your episode didn't have me wanting to go out and buy a new wah! I still have the Fulltone but really have no idea what to do with it....really shrill I adjusted everything I can and aside from having it modded I figure I should sell it?
Guys this is the one episode where i think the use of a white board and perhaps a pocket protector would have been acceptable :-). keep up the good work. That pedal show is how TV should be...
Criminy!,~ that's what's needed,- one before AND one after...
What a fantastic invention .Consistently suprised by what you can do with wah,- even the basic models,- and there is the real danger of frittering away hours fooling with them.I think many don't really consider the myriad of more subtle uses, and dismiss them as gimmicky.
Think that wah and the basic volume pedal are two of the most unexplored and underated tools available(Vox, no doubt, sets the tonal standard;but, be nice if they kept up with features, including simple true bypass.).
Thought Dan was going to lapse into some Killing Joke with that Muff hybrid. Nice.
Groovy and funky. Considering what a simple concept the wah pedal is - a sweeping frequency filter, it's amazing how deep the subject it can be. I like pedals that give you a few controls over Q and overall EQ, especially if they're mini. In future videos, it would be nice if you were able to borrow a few other wah pedals, especially those from smaller pedal makers.
This is great! I ~think~ I understand how my RMC3 controls work now... except for the dip switches. Lord, those dip switches... anyways, question: there's a point at which some wah sweeps, when paired with some overdrive, sound like a door slamming open and shut rather than a nice smooth sweep. The Xotic and the Boss did this a little on certain settings while the others smoothed through it. Any insights as to why? Would this strictly be in the Q? Too wide maybe? I have had this problem on an RMC3 and it's really frustrating to troubleshoot.
Also, didn't Frank Zappa use alot of 'stuck wah' tones?
Thanks for the videos!
That Boss probably would have sounded cleaner if you had the knob for the built in overdrive turned all the way off instead of at the 10:00 position.
Exactly!
Was thinking they needed to explore that pedal more as it’s pretty wild and lots of other functions
Great episode!!! I'm off to play with my wah pedals. I have a CryBaby GCB 95, Ibanez Weeping Demon and the 10 models included with the Helix to experiment with. I really like the sound of that Budda.
I had the boss power wah for a bit. Fun to play around with the different sounds but I found it cut the low end of my sound even when I wasn't using it. But I dug the univibe sound and the talk box was useful every now and then.
Great video as always. I'm waiting for an episode on Leslie simulators like the NeoInstruments Ventilator, the Strymon Lex, Electro Harmonix Lester vs. a real Leslie Speaker! Also an Episode on the POG, the mini POG an comparable pedals and their various use cases would be nice.
For your Fuzz/Wah episode (if you haven't filmed it already) you should check out the Dunlop Jimi Hendrix Fuzz-Wah (JH-1FW) from Dunlop. The side switches allow you to choose Wah--Fuzz or Fuzz--Wah. You can use just the way or just the fuzz and there are knobs on the side and bottom to control each. I don't think they sell them anymore, but I'm sure you guys could get your hands on one....or make one. Thanks again for the show. Great episode.
Should've played some Trower! TROWER POWER!!!
Prefer the Xotic -- most versatile, and I like being able to adjust the Q, the wide Q was a very interesting sound.
Love Xotic boost and preamp pedals, but Crybaby 535Q FTW!
Love the All Blues melody in there!
11:17 - Nice kicks, Mick! \m/
On the vwha take the intensity knob all the way counter clockwise. Changes alot. It also does roto and distortion/fuzz as well. It may not sound as good but it is a lot of fun.
The faces on those pedals are hilarious hahahahaha
Awsome show guys seen every episode . Can you do a video on pre amp pedals including the Orange bax bangeeta I love this pedal!!
Well done as always, Gents...
I have a Thomas Organ made in Italy Vox wah that I bought used in the early '70s. Compared to CryBabys of the time it had a sharper "whack" to the upper end of the range. You could also slip the rack on the pedal a tooth one way or the other to change the range the wah works in since the treadle doesn't utilize the full rotation of the pot.
Unfortunately about 10 years ago the Vox started making funny noises on occasion so I put it away and got a CryBaby 535Q which also has the variable Q control and could do both the sharp Vox sound and the softer CryBaby sound.
I had a Univox wah in the late '60s that was optical but it had a metal flag between the lamp and photodiode with a V cut into it. Worked but had nowhere the sound of the Vox I got later on.
THAT DERICK TRUCKS SG IS BADASS, BEST SG IMO, PACKED TO THE GILLS WITH FEATURES
I love the way Dan explains frequencies and what happens in the chain. It has really helped me when I think about how my board is put together
My favorite wah, after long using the midrangey vox style wah, is the rmc "wheels of fire" wah, based on the macari wahs Clapton used with cream. Really worth checking out, either the rmc reissue or original if you can find one. I don't think a better wah exists with teles/SG/ or other mid pushed guitars as this wah has a scooped sound. Anyways, thanks for the video as always, cheers!
great video as ever guys, you've always been a fantastic source of info going all the way back to Daniels gig rig vids on how to set up fuzz, distortion and OD.
but I think you missed an opportunity here. Yes you have 6 great wahs, but 5 of them are basically vox/crybaby based designs and sound pretty similar with the same basic characteristics, even with Q adjustment controls etc.
there's a few other classic wahs out there that have their own sounds and are available as clones or reissues.
I only say because you do so many great comparisons on a theme. all fuzz, or OD, or delay etc. nobody has really done the same thing with wahs.
coloursounds, boomerang BG2s (THE shaft wah, also used on crazy mama by JJ. cale), Chicago iron parapedal, the ibanez WH10. any of these would give the black label bud-wah a run for its money..
yep, I'm a wah geek.
cheers!
I have that Boss wah, and it was really difficult to turn it off and on, it required so much force... I skimmed the rubber studs and now it's perfect. Along with the wah I use it for the univibe which I find quite good. I have it set up so that I can change between wah and univibe with the heel switch.
Now that I've watched the whole video, I can say that you can calibrate the pedal travel to your liking, and it looks like you are keeping the distortion modelling on, so no wonder it "adds something". Just twist the drive know all the way down.
+luppa79 ah! Got it. Cheers Luppa
Hi guys! I am a huge fan and I loved the episode, keep up the great work! I just have a couple of quick questions...
1) I use an Xotic XW-1 & when I play live I notice that sometimes I lose a lot of sound and my guitar doesn't cut through the mix when the pedal is rocked to a certain position. Is this an issue that is best fixed by adjusting the EQ or the Wah-Q of the pedal? I believe that if I make the Wah-Q wider by turning it down I will keep more mids (and cut through the mix better?), but I will lose more of the wah effect that I like. What would be your best advice?
2) Would you tell me how you set the Bias, Wah-Q, Treble and Bass on the XW-1 in order to get the Budwah sound like you did in the video? Also do you think adjusting the internal dip switches and gain trimmer will help match the sound better? If you have the time, let me know if you have any success in trying these adjustments.
Thank you in advance for taking a moment to address my questions!
i thought you guys had more subs. oh well this is still a lot. And that gig rig is one one of the coolest things ever. I am going to buy a G2 but I need to wait and save up a lot. This one looks really nice as well, a lot less space, you wouldn't even need 2 giant pedal boards, maybe save room and just buy one
I enjoy knowing the basics about how the pedals works, too. It simple stuff after all how you explain it
Did we ever figure out what Micks pedal was cloned after? It sounds phenomenal!!
Vox hand wired was my fav.
Area 51 make a good wah too.
I've had V Wah since it first came out, and it's incredibly much more broad than what's shown. You can customize the range of attack from shallow to super deep. The stock settings you guys are showing are very shallow. If you take 30 minutes to learn how to use it, you can create all those wahs on the board.
My only issue, and it might just be mine, but it seems to cut out the sound when it's turned off and on. Might need to do a factory reset to correct that.
I also forgot the built in Uni Vibe, Suppressor, Vowel simulator, and multiple Distortion pedals. It has four presets, so you have four different modulators in one pedal... and a suppressor! C'mon brobinos... Get your shit together. hahaha
Same, I have had it for 20 years or so? My only issue with it is I wish the built in boosts, fuzz, distortion, could be set up to turn on once the wah is engaged rather than always on.
can you do an episode where you check out all those ''beginner'' pedals that almost everybody has or had? Like the DS-1 and stuff like that
that THING DS-1 is no beginner pedal lol its hardcore crazy old school stuff😂
First time I saw a wha on trumpet was not so long ago with Snarky Puppy... I was like "waou, such a great idea!". But I didn't know it was done before nor it was one of the origins of the wha! Thanks!
Miles Davis did it very early
Dude, me too! I saw that guy and was like, damn that's inventive.
Still, respect guys who steal little techniques like that and make it their own.
trombonists in the trad-jazz era (1920's?)
thanks for bringing back the SG Dan!!! ☺👌
Great episode guys! Sounded great! Still love VOX wahs man! I have a couple Clyde McCoy reissues and I love em! I thought the FUZZ>WAH kinda sounded like a talkbox a little bit
Ah the Jr yes just got a 66 but am waiting on some parts to finish it up Any idea what pots and cap Gibson used back then ?
Hello from 'Straya ! Love your channel guys! Please do a Hendrix special...all his sounds and how to get them...and it needs to have the Robert Keeley's 'Monterey Rotary Fuzz Vibe'! well actually any excuse to try out the Monterey....
Best wah on this planet = Jerry Cantrell's Signature Wah, that thing sounds incredible, and it looks pretty too!
I never really cared about a fuzz until it went into a cranked Sheriff 44. That was a tone!!!!!!!
I have recently bought a Morley power wah. It is just too subtle. Like when the cue is wide. Is there any way to mod the pedal to change this? Or should I just move on to another pedal?
I've considered changing the hole size on the shutter that blocks the light. Not sure if this will help.
Cheers
Big Jim Sullivan guested on the Bay city rollers TV show. Shangalang. Inspired me to get my first electric. a £25 zenta. I still recall the one when Eric jammed with Jim on a white strat and a fuzz pedal. I have a white strat now!!! Arrrghhh!! Just realised the link.
Got the Buddy Guy wah. It's nice as all get out lol. Funky and soulful.
I've had a Dimebag CBH wah for a few years and had though I'd never need another wah... Then I decided I wanted another wah for a second pedalboard I'm building and found a great price on a used Vox 847... I'm conflicted as to which wah to put in my main pedalboard now. The CBH is more versatile because of its adjustable parameters; but the Vox just sounds incredible!
When is episode 2 coming out?
Hey fellas. Great show. Currently shopping for a wah and kind of got my sites set on the CAE MC404 crybaby. Seems like a pretty versatile tool and the two different inductors and the boost seem to add a huge amount of flexibility. Just wondering what your thoughts are on that model?
I like the Budwah the best. To me it's the smoothest on the high end and just has a great sound throughout the sweep. Honestly about anything would sound quite good through both those amps, though! They complement each other so well.
+Hank Stone Cheers Hank! Yep, we were ampily well endowed today. :0)
Great video as always. Jokes about electric trumpet mutes aside, this original application of a wah DOES make sense when you consider the similar sound of the plunger mute - something jazz trumpeters and trombonists had been using for decades prior to the pedal's creation.
Please share the settings you end up with on the Xotic XW-1 Wah. When comparing to the Budda.
