Question:
i'm pretty set on getting an auto wah pedal, but i dont know which one i should get, the boss aw-2 or the aw-3, the aw2 is about 30-50 bucks used and the aw 3 is about 100$
do they have the same features and such?
or are there any other brands i should consider in this?
**edit**
actually it occured to me that a lot of pedals have a "newer" version of the same thing, does this usually mean that its better or anything?
because another pedal i wana get is a compression/sustainer one, boss has a cs-2 and cs-3
im thinking that they're all the same quality and sound except one's just newer

I have a DOD I would like to get rid of for say $20 + shipping.
Answer:
Is an auto wah the same thing as an envelope filter? If so, have you played with the Electro Harmonix mini Q-Tron?
Answer:
Many autowahs and envelope filters are the same, so, yes, more or less. More complex envelope filters will be able to do more than "autowah" would imply.
Answer:
I've had a few... and enjoyed my Mini Qtron. The High Pass, Band Pass & Low Pass feature is now a prerequisite for any replacements. I usually kept it in low pass mode. (lower freqeuncies pass throgh un affected)
Answer:
Of the many that I've tried, either of the Boss units worked the best with their tracking and response being better than other envelope filters. Very versatile and tweakable but this comes at a cost premium.
I've owned 2 of the DOD units and was very underwhelmed with their performance. My biggest complaint was how differently they reacted to slightly different guitars. Very input sensitive, imho, and not easily overcome with a simple knob turn.
If you're using just one guitar then maybe this won't be an issue for you.
I currently own and have in my pedalboard a cheapy Danelectro French Fries auto-wah and for all of it's limitations and cheapness, it's a decent little piece. Helps me to sound like teh funk when I need it to.
I also own an old tried-and-true-yet-modified Dunlop Cry Baby for when I want manual-wah.
Answer:
im mainly looking for one with a subtle wah effect with not a lot of range and sensativity, something more on the lines of what the rhythm guitar plays during "mighty to save". i dont need something crazy with huge twang and all that for worship....yet

Then maybe the DOD that is being advertised earlier in the thread is worth looking at.
Answer:
Get a manual Wah. They're much more useful.
Answer:
i have one, its a dunlop crybaby, but problem with that is that whenever i turn it on while im playing, the volume and treble go wayy up and it pierces the ear
