The GCB-95 had a bass variant, the GCB-100. Same circuit, simply one capacitor that is changed for bass. It is a lot more 'competent' in that configuration but there is a huge volume drop when it is engaged. I like it because it is very close to Geezer's Wah on Bassicaly. The volume drop makes it hard to use in a live context so I am looking at a replacement. Thanks to your well executed review, I will probably go for the Ibanez as I need for both guitar and bass.
I started to fall asleep on vox and wd7 woke me up, it's really a demon❤ In addition, judging by the design, the Ibanez care about safety: when you returning late from rehearsals, you can protect yourself from a gang or a pack of wolves by putting it in your bag. My choice is vox and wd7. It's a pity there was no cry baby bass mini, Geezer wah and Cliff Burton's. Oh, and a cheap AMT Bass Japanese Girl. Sorry, my English is not good enough 🎉 thank you for video and your room is musician's paradise
Great playing as always. About weeping demon and the separate footswitch, this is only one option to be turned on. You can switch the lever on the left to auto mode and wah is turned on when you press on it.
@@CiciVonStrangelove have u been able to try a morley wah? I own the tremonti and bass wah. I really dig the bypass where u don't have to click or step on a switch.
The Crybaby was almost comical, like you were doing a funk parody or something. I like the order you rated them in, the V2 was my favorite. Awesome demo, I promote your channel and music whenever I can. Too bad all of us can't watch you guys gig in a large venue. You've got plenty of fans, it's just that we're spread out. It's like we need to start a "Dave Simpson Trio" commune just to hear you play.
Hahaha, that’s the perfect way to put it 😂 Thank you so much, that’s really kind of you and it helps loads!! Really means a lot. And I like your idea about the Trio commune :)
Nice comparison vid. Ive been on a bass wah search and have tried all my guitar wah's then bought a dunlop 105q bass wah its ok for the price. Squeek tip idea for wah pedals use a high grade fire arm slide lubricant its thicker stickier than regular lubricating oil. I have a wah fetish have had a few weeping demons and do not use that model anymore. Mega wah brand is nice . Snarling dogs too nice quality. Would like to try ibanez v1 or 2 in future. The dunlop 95q is not bad. Thank you for the vid. PS, I want a morely fuzz wah, my bad horsey 2 optical switch isnt fun when wah activates or de activates. The dunlop 105q & Morely have spring return feature I really like that feature.
Try to spray the joints of the WH-X (I did have the same issue with it when I bought it). I just sprayed it with WD4 on the 2 screws at each side and it wont squeak anymore 😄🤙🏻
@@CiciVonStrangelove And by the way, amazing demonstration! Your Bass Tone and precision are insane! Did not expect the Ibanez WH10 (and WH-X) to be so amazing with a Bass Guitar!
Personally I've used a Wilson Effects 12 position Q Wah for more than a decade. I've used it on an active 5 to a passive 4, J, P, P/J and it's never, ever let me down. I'm kinda an effects junkie.
great demo thank you. I have been using the Weeping Demon on Bass for years including double bass, and I love it. except the pedal does not stay in position well when I want to use it as a filter. Did you have the switch in the low setting? You also have a range control under the pedal to adjust as well. you really have to play with the settings to get a feel but mine is set at 3:00 cloak, 11:30, 11:00, switch in low and range fine tune is all the way to the left I do want to try that triungolo labs wah, that squeak would drive me insane if I can't solve it lol. so maybe the Ibanez. I need a second wah.
Wah on bass doesn't happen often enough 🙂 I like to EQ split the signal before the wah, put wah on one channel with guitarish distortion before and after, leaving the bottom end unaffected, just a bit of gritty bite, or just on top 2 strings of a P-bass with dual (parallel) output. Great just left static, as a tone control.
You should try connecting another wah to your clean channel as well and run in parallel. It takes a little jerry-rigging as you have to drill some holes in the tops of your wah pedals, so you can attach a thin plank of plywood (covered in grip tape) to connect the two pedals. This way, you control both pedals simultaneously. It really is the best option for split FX signals. I learned this from Tim Commerford, I can't take credit.
Purple one sounded the best to my raggedy old ears, nice range. I love when a wah will make a bass guitar roar like a wildcat and that one sounded like it did the best job. In my ears anyway.
The Justin Chancellor Crybaby Fuzz way is really freaking sweet. I can’t wait to be able to afford one. Has some really cool features that other ways don’t that make the fuzz much more flexible. Can be on all the time or only when you use the way or on all the time except when you use the wah. Edit: wah. Thanks autocorrect.
I have two wahs that I loop through my Helix Floor along with some other pedals. I primarily use the Justin Chancellor fuzz wah for actual wah'ing(?) and then Morley PFW for that classic activated Morley tone. However, with the PFW you basically lose all low end. I recently bought an EHX Tri-Parallel Mixer that I run the Morley PFW through with a channel EQ'd for dry low end. Now I finally have what I want. Lol
heyyyy it's mister Gill! You can just use an Effects Loop block to have the PFW in a loop blended with clean, or you can have the loop send/return itself on a crossover parallel path that is only the highs! I did that on my Helix FX, where I had almost all the effects on a highs-only path, and put the fx loop to the wahs in that path.
@@davedixon2167 ya know, funny you say that. I do similar but I use the EHX Parallel mixer to blend and add a bit low end to the PFW. Works like a champ for me. 😬
Give a Chicago Iron Parachute a try. Pricey, great sound, works for bass or reg guitar. They have a kit that drops into a Dunlop also.I would not leave home without mine. Im a nobody so you can trust my judgement there😂 Love listening to you jam out🤘🏻
Do they still make those?! Wilson Freaker wah is a copy with more adjustability and also a mini version. I’ve had both in the past and want to pick up another Freaker…
Thank you so much! It’s their version of a tube screamer (sorry I can’t remember exactly what they called it, but you’ll know it when you see it as it’s obviously named after the tube screamer!
@@CiciVonStrangelove Hopefully someone can get one out to ya there. Preferably the 20/20 Power Fuzz Wah. The sweep on the Wah is much better on that one. But also would be cool to get one of the originals (the big toaster looking ones) out to ya too to compare.
For everyone who likes the sound of the Ibanez WH10v2, i highly recommend the new version WH10v3, since it sounds more like the original version from the 80s
I have three of those Wah pedals Probably Daves fault🤣 I also have a few others ,You might be shocked by this but I’m a big fan of the Behringer Hell Babe on my Bass boards it has no moving parts and I would highly recommend trying one if you get the chance👌👍
See I told you on your instagram post the vox would be my choice! lol! I used to own a vox wah and I loved it! And I will still say the vox to me sounded the best out of all 3 of them but maybe I am a little bias over the vox. I am currently running a Jerry Cantrel Wah which I really like a lot as well but I do want to get another vox Wah again in the future. Great video and playing as always. Any Hey my band just dropped out first music video it is up on my channel rocktalk 101 and on my bands channel silverflow / band if you want to check it out it is called memory. it's a song about my Aunt that died of cancer when she was 44yrs old. Anyway if you want to check it out that would be cool. Keep rocking love your's and dave's videos! Cheer's from the U.S.
The Vox is absolutely awesome, I would happily use it on my pedal board! :) Interesting about the Jerry Cantrel wah, I’d like to try one at some point! Just checked out the music video, what a beautiful tribute to your aunt :) Brilliant job!
@@CiciVonStrangelove Ya I like the Jerry Cantrel wah as it has a side adjustment where you can really dial it in to what you like so you should definitely give it a try some time. and thanks for watching the music video and glad you liked the song really appreciate the nice comments.
Thanks. Didn't expect a tube screamer. That with the vox is a great combination and cheap as well. Nice to see a video with great gear that doesn't cost a bomb
@@stevec6427 No worries at all! They’re definitely an epic combination :) And I know exactly what you mean! I like to cover more accessible stuff, most of what I own is fairly cheap (but amazing) anyway :)
I think you're more captivated by the squeakyness haha I was very impressed by the vox, actually. Yes, the weeping demon geez cool name but it seems to sacrifice a lotta low end in the distortion. Great vid!
Awesome comparison, thanks for this! If I may, I'd also like to suggest the Morley Power Wah Boost... The ones from the 70s (Tel-Ray, big box chrome) are amazing, but just to offer, the new Cliff Burton tribute Power Fuzz Wah is just as awesome, with modern feature sets (switchless, boss-style power adapter). The sweep on the pedal is, to me, ideal because of how wide it is. As an honorable mention, I also really love the Cry Baby Mini Bass Wah... Perhaps an updated comparison vid is in order... ...?

Had the vox and hated it, got the weeping demon and I love it. I know this is all opinion. I got a great tone with it, love how it gives you control too make it sound how you want. I like the side on in off for me, just want it modded to have a push switch. I like the weeping demon as I can make it way less abrasive and you can’t really do that with other wahs.
