Question:
Hey im thinking about selling my boss gt-8. I've decided almost all the things ive needed so im turning away from the multi. Anyway i figured out basically which pedals i would buy except for a wah but i only know only 2 ways to use it... I need suggestions on which wah to buy.
On another note how much you think id get for my boss? and if its enough to cover for a used keeley modded blues driver, wah, boss tremolo, still deciding for a delay prob boss dd-6 or spend extra money for line 6 DL4(for the loop) and an acoustic simulator for now.
Thanks
Answer:
Hi well my title is what i want to know. I want to know more wah techniques what do you guys do? I only strum a chord and use the wha effect, hold a not use with pan effect or keep it on the position where the toe would be allthe way down with my distortion.
Answer:
I particularly like palm muting while rocking it back and forth in between riffs, it sounds awesome. But most of all, just play around with it until you find something that sounds cool.
Answer:
stab in the dark here...but im gonna guess maybe no more than, 3-350$? +1 on the keeley mods btw, and the DD-6.(assuming you're going digital.) on the wahs? go teese, fulltone clyde, or heavily modded vox on the high end. maybe a weeping demon or modded crybaby on the low. DL4 isnt a bad idea. but its gonna take a bigger hit from the 350$ you get for that GT-8. i think its all about priorities here. do you really need an acoustic simulator? and personally, i would rather sink the money from the tremolo into a high end wah, the DL4, or the DD-6. its your call..you're just asking for 5 more additions to your board for 350$. maybe im reading you wrong, but you should find which of the above you cannot live with out for the moment and shoot for those first.
Answer:
I need to remember to make an audio clip demonstrating wah techniques...
Answer:
Ooo do it.
I love my wah, but I don't know any "techniques" - I just play what sounds cool.
Answer:
another way to use the wah is as a fitler. kirk hammett use to set his wah all the way down to get a higher sound for going into leads.
Answer:
To get that 70's cwaka-cwaka shaft sound mute the strings with your left hand and strum pretty fast while rocking at a medium speed.
Answer:
slow sweeps while chording is also a nice touch
my favorite that i've played through is the Budda Wah (~$169). Check it out.
Answer:
The first clip is using the wah as a filter on a heavy riff.
The second is using the wah on a filter on a drone line (like that part in the middle of Dare You To Move)
The third clip is some overdriven arpeggiating on a wah filter.
The fourth clip is overdriven chords with the toe down.
The fifth clip is clean(ish) funky chording.
More clips soon.

My personal favorite use for wah is to put a delay before or after the wah (depending on the sound you're going for) and tremolo picking notes while slowly sweeping the wah.
Answer:
The sixth clip is a fast strum with a filter then a slow sweep.
The seventh clip is what I call the "cheap radio" sound, with the toe all the way down.
The eigth is just feedback being controlled by a wah sweep.
The ninth is a little filtered alternate picking, then your standard sort of wah solo.
The tenth clip is my favorite wah thing to do.
All these are my Gibson Les Paul Studio, JB in the bridge position, a Morley Mark Tremonti sig Wah, into a Yamaha T50C.
Answer:
