Question:
OK, so, I'm now on a search for wah pedals. My Valvetronix, obviously, has a V847 model on it, but there is a downside to if I use it. I can't use any other pedal effect if I use the wah. I happen to prefer how my Line 6 was set up with a dedicated wah on one pedal. Therefore, I'm looking to buy a real wah sometime in the near future.
So with that in mind, I come here to ask you all simple question.
Which wah pedals do you dig the most, and what would you recommend for me to check out?
If you need to know what styles I would be using it for, it would be primarily for Contemporary (read: Hillsongs, Matt Redman, Chris Tomlin, original arrangments of Hymns and older P&W songs) P&W and CCM stuff (Switchfoot, Todd Agnew, Keaggy [every now and then]), as well as my own material. (Probably wouldn't get as much use from my own stuff).
A little wordy, but basically, just recommend stuff for me to check out.
Answer:
Theres not a huge difference between the pedals I have played. I have a Dunlop Crybaby, but I also really like the Vox Wah. Buddha Wah is expensive, but probably the nicest one. Personally, I think Dunlop is the best.
Answer:
I have heard from dealers that the Budda Wah is the best by far. It looks just like a Dunlop, but they have modified it.
Also Z-Vex makes a great wah. Theres no moving parts, so you don't have to worry about wearing it out. It also has their "Super Hard On" built into it so you can get a really clean sounding funk wah, a really nasty sounding wah, and everything inbetween.
Answer:
First rule: Avoid Morley!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That includes the Tremonti & Vai pedals. Love Tremonti & Vai as people, not those cheap pedals!!!!!!!!
Dunlop is always what the majority goes for, because they're the maker of the Original Crybaby Wah pedal, still used by like 80% of bands.
If you have lotsa money, the best you can buy is Roger Mayer Electronics Vision Wah.
And if you wanna know what's cool from insiders at Berklee, check out the Wizard Wah.

the budda wah is the best wah out there. it sounds like...um...this emoticon will to:
the other "+" is that it's true bypass. true bypass matters most when it comes to wahs and tuners because they suck tone like...uh...this:
Answer:
I use a George Dennis oprical wah; it's slightly more subtle and vocal than a Crybaby. It's the best I've found for acoustics (if you ever tread there).
