Aussie_Chicago Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Now I finally have a clavinet in the stable ( E7 ) just wondering what wah pedals you guys use ? I have a Vox 847 but not that happy with it, just a bit too sharp especially on the higher octaves. Considering the cry baby 535Q or maybe the buddy guy cry baby , it seems a bit fuller in tone. Any suggestions ?

RedKey Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 I really like that Vox. Are you using an amp? I'm using a Fender Blues Jr. The old Boss auto-wahs AW's & TW's are really funky as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Weiser Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 I've used Vox and Crybaby... had both of them slightly modded, which is what I learned a lot of big players had done. Another cool choice (harder to find) is the Mutron Volume-Wah. The Morley Volume/wah is a bit insane, not great for standard wah stuff, but really cool for all out rock mayhem, esp when combined with an analog delay. https://www.theboywhowantedtorock.com http://www.weisersound.com https://www.facebook.com/weisersound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the Clavinet D6 I used a 60s VOX wah pedal, Mutron III (touch wah/filter) EH Deluxe Electic Mistress Flanger and Mutron Phasor II. I prefered the 70s Morley Fuzz/Wah/Volume for my Fender Rhodes MKI 73 Stage together w/ a BOSS GE-10 EQ and a Schulte Compact Phasing A. Both ran into my Fender Dual Showman Reverb amp, it powering different cab combos over the time,- Marshal, Ampeg and Fender. A.C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Resolution 88 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Fender Fuzz Wah just like Herbie used - it sounds NAAASTY in a very good way! I used that on my most recent recordings. Rhodes funk Resolution 88 Reso 88 on iTunes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doerfler Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Any suggestions ? I have a mid 90's Cry Baby and a just purchased Vox V847A. They sound very similar to me, I was hoping for a bigger difference. I use a 1979 Fender Bassman 4 x 10 sealed back as an amp. I would like to purchase the Fulltone Clyde but can't fund that right now. Maybe you might try that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkphingerz88 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Fender fuzz way as tom said is killer, my other fave is the crybaby with Fasel inductor. Very juicy!

Aussie_Chicago Posted October 29, 2014 Author Share Posted October 29, 2014 Just looking at the Fender fuzz wah, going for decent money, what I don't like about the Vox is it kind of sounds nasal, Im looking for more meat if you can get my drift. I don't have a tube amp, playing it through my dxr10, but speaking of tubes, maybe Ill try it through the speakeasy pre amp , didn't think of that before....Maybe a cry baby classic with the fasel would be the cheapest option right now. I don't want to spend tons of money on a wah.

I don't want to spend tons of money on a wah. And keep in mind that by its nature (band-pass filter) a wah is going to be thin. At least technically it's only giving you a thin slice of the frequency pie at any given time. A pre-amp with EQ will help, so will some compression when it comes to beefing things up. https://www.theboywhowantedtorock.com http://www.weisersound.com https://www.facebook.com/weisersound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottasin Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 I've been using a Dunlop Bass Wah that my drummer picked up used, and I absolutely love it. Its spring loaded so you don't have to click a button to turn it on, you step on it and its on, take your foot away and its off. Also, it keeps the bass end of the signal in the tone, which I quite like, you still get the wah sounding effect, but it doesn't take away the fullness of my tone (also is nice with a Rhodes because of it). The adjustable 'Q' (resonance) lets you get some really dirty nearly synthy tones out of it too. Love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.

AlanV Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 I used an original Budda Bud-Wah when I had my EMU VK-6 and it really sounded damn nice with the Clavinet patches on it.

Doc Tonewheel Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 I use a Vox wah as well. The big sound modifier for a clav will be the amp. Many of the recently made tube amps (ie new Fenders) sound very bright and "ice picky". Replacement of the stock speaker with a something like a hemp cone will warm up and round off the sound nicely.

CEB Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 I used a Thomas Organ Co Crybaby becausr that is what I had. I used a Dr Q and liked that better. The Q-Tron by all purpose is totally better that the Dr Q. Wah pedals get really thin sounding. I have some Morley and Tech 21 wah that have a lot more balls in the bottom end but I don't think that would work well. Might even cause some feedback issues.

Don't need no stinking Wah-Wah, but I do love the Edgar Winter Frankenstein sound very much, and the 36 different filters I can substitute.

zukskywalker Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Well, my clone-clavs are all stereo re-creations so in the interest of preserving the signal chain I got a hold of a GigFX Megawah, an outrageous stereo clone-crybaby that does a few tricks and doubles as an occasional volume pedal. A bit pricey but does the job nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
