    I love wah pedals, I've owned 3 of the ones from the list, the 535Q, the 95Q and now I own the Slash one... Gotta say they're all impressive, if they make a pedal like the 535Q in the style of the 95Q that will def be the ultimate wah pedal, I love how the 95Q activates just by stepping on it and it turns off when you step off, not to mention it feels better under the foot because when you push it with your foot it moves all the way up and down and there's no risk of turning it off by stepping on it to hard.

    Best wah review ever. They all sound almost the same clean except the EVH and Slash. Then with dirt the EVH and Slash sound the best. I have the 535Q since it came out and it's personally to me the most versatile wah ever and with the correct settings you can make it sound like all those wah pedals.

    It looks like he has the Cry Baby 535Q and the Cry Baby 95Q labeled as each other. So, you need to reverse those to know which is which. The 535 is on the very end, while the one he points out as odd (second from the right in the row nearest him) is the 95Q.

    • @shanewright9735
      @shanewright9735 Рік тому +1

      It took me until later in the video to figure it out too. I was bummed thinking they had changed the 95Q to be in line with most other Crybaby pedals. The spring loaded/instant on aspect of the 95Q is what makes it so cool and unique. I've had one since 2000, and even though I have bought other CB's since, I often go back to the 95Q as my main Wah

    This is awesome. Loved the JB one and the slash 😊. I've had an old vox for 20 years now and recently got the Mooer Wahter. Sounds great, small but folds out and is activated as soon as you put your foot on. Great video as always!

    I have used a S/H GCB-95 (revision F or G from memory). 12 years ago ago I modded to True Bypass put in a sealed pot and changed a few resistors. The onboard input/output jacks broke so I replaced those with wired off the board metal jacks. Recently, I dropped in an LED on/off light. It's just keeps on ticking and rolling with the changes. I'm not a purist but the True Bypass mod for these is an essential one for me -- stock the models they made through the '80s, 90s and a bit later are complete tone suckers. They roll off a lot of top end when bypassed.

    The Hendrix, Slash, and Bonamassa pedals sounded the best to me. They seemed like they would do best with the type of sound/ tone I want to achieve. Thanks for the vid.

    I always wanted to try the Bonamassa one because of the output buffer and the true bypass switch.

    Great video but one note. The names of the last two pedals are backwards. The second to last is the 95Q and the last is the 535Q.

    oh i remember my first ever wah wah xD
    it was this off brand wah i ordered online lol. it worked but it would pick up random AM radio signals lol
    got a gcb95 OG kater, modded it with the Q and the volume mods. somehow killed it and then just bought the 535Q :D
    oh i love that pedal

    I felt that both Slash pedals and the Hendrix one had a richer and more defined sound. The mini and Van Halen were just to shrill and scrambled the notes into near white noise. The rest of them met their basic function but nothing noteworthy. In a highly controlled environment such as a studio I'd probably go with the 1st Slash pedal but otherwise my Crybaby Classic is fine and I wouldn't replace it for general use. Thanks again for the work you put into this!

    Great video super helpful. Looking to put together first pedal board. Thinking Slash Wah (as it has the distortion) straight into a Valeton GP200LT and I’m done!

  • @mariodario9033

    535Q is the best in my opinion and of course for my taste of sound - cleanest, a lot of tone variables (that was not presented in the video), works great both with clean and dirt sounds.
    If I would play only rock/metal with a lot of gain and no clean tones, then SLASH woud be my choice over 535Q.
    Thank you for the video, it was fire to have possibility to compare so many pedals ! Appreciate your effort.

    The red Slash pedal had the most appealing sweep range to me. I like a lower frequency wah sweep. The knob on the side looks like that the sweep range may be adjustable. That or some sort of built in boost. I'll have to look into it. I do have a CB-95 that I rolled the pot back inside to give it a lower sweep. I definitely like the spring loaded wah just for the fact of operating in the way the wah is naturally used, meaning you press down and roll in from the lower frequencies first, instead of smashing the button down and starting high.

    • @jamespettitt2162
      @jamespettitt2162 Рік тому

      There’s 2 knobs on the side, gain and volume, there’s also a distortion switch at the back on the same side that can only be engaged if the wah is engaged :)
