Wah recommendations

[Fishfacefour]

Hi everyone,

 

Was thinking of adding a wah.

Any recommendations to go with a Jag?

Any tips on technique?

I'm looking for something for funk adjacent rhythm playing style rather than Hendrix style solo stuff.

Thanks in advance!

I haven’t had a wah for years, but I think it’s hard to beat a Cry Baby. I did try a Morley back in the day, but found it too subtle - not enough wakka wakka for my tastes.

Behringer HB01 Hell Babe...

 

... for value for money. Works for bass, too.

Looks good. Great price, terrible name!

 

What are people's thoughts on auto wah?

Never used one, but for solely rhythm work, I think it’d work rather well. There must be a reasonably priced clone to make giving one a go not too onerous.

I don't buy stuff because of the name, nor refuse to buy stuff because of the name. Just sayin' s'all.

Though judging by its name, and the sheer range of additional controls up the side, can I assume this is Behringer's attempt to clone the Ibanez Weeping Daemon?

 

('cause if so, colour me very, very interested...)

I played a lot with this VOX, I find that it's just a perfect all around wah:

I’m a huge fan of Behringer, but I sent my Hellbabe straight back. Unfortunately it seemed to suffer every malady that got brought up in all the bad reviews. A real shame.

 

I ended up with a Joyo pedal and it’s really good.
