    I liked the sound of the wah pedal, so I bought an expensive wah pedal, but the sound was too flat. I thought this was a broken product. But after watching your video, I changed the range setting and found the sound I wanted. Thank you very much.

      @@larryjsearcy255 The expensive pedal I mentioned was a Fulltone. Eventually, I didn't like the sound, so I changed it to Vox. Now I have the wah sound that I thought it would be.

      I've linked to the pedal that I use in the description, if you want to check it out. It's the standard bread-and-butter wah, a good choice if you're just getting started! 😊

    I’m turning a bamboo cutting board into a pedal board . Not sure of the pedal orientation yet, (wah Vox 847, fuzzface, zoom A2 acoustic effects, Boss compression sustainer CS-3, Boss Digital delay DD-3, billionaire by Danelectro Texas trouble, Delta lab T01 tube overdrive . Any suggestions on setting up?, I wanna play everything! Country, Rock, Rockabilly, folk, Blues, pop. Surf.

      That sounds like a fun project! 😄 I've got a video on how to set up a pedalboard which covers how to order them: ua-cam.com/video/f2VdAkerfNQ/v-deo.html
      Use that as a starting point and then swap and change pedals around until you get a sound that works for you! 😊

    I just bought a crybaby wah and i used a loop adapter and it doesn't work. Do i need to get the dunlop adapter? And does it have to be standing on its own away from the pedal board? Please help thank you

    • @ConorRocksYT
      @ConorRocksYT  3 місяці тому

      I've found that some adapters don't have a long enough barrel to get into the crybaby wah, especially if they end in a right angle, because it's quite recessed in the pedal.
      Any 9v adapter with a straight barrel will work! But, if in doubt, you can always pick up the official one from Dunlop 😊
      It doesn't have to sit off the board - I like to keep mine on where possible 😊

    • @ConorRocksYT

      Sorry to hear that - here's a few things to try (they might sound silly, but I'm just checking everything!).
      - Are the pedals switched on/volume turned up (if applicable)
      - Does the guitar work without any pedals in between?
      - Is the guitar volume turned on/up?
      - Do both guitar cables work?
      - Is the pedal output cable connected to the amps input?

    • @ConorRocksYT
      @ConorRocksYT  Рік тому +3

      It'd make sense, but that's not the case. Most wah's will be affecting the EQ in some way while it's on. The only way to get your guitar's natural tone is to disengage the pedal!
