Fishfacefour Posted July 5, 2022 Posted July 5, 2022 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! Quote
ezbass Posted July 5, 2022 Posted July 5, 2022 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. 1 Quote
Dad3353 Posted July 5, 2022 Posted July 5, 2022 Behringer HB01 Hell Babe... ... for value for money. Works for bass, too. 1 Quote
Fishfacefour Posted July 5, 2022 Author Posted July 5, 2022 Looks good. Great price, terrible name! What are people's thoughts on auto wah? Quote

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. 1 Quote

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...) Quote
sundayguitar Posted Wednesday at 21:24 Posted Wednesday at 21:24 I played a lot with this VOX, I find that it's just a perfect all around wah: https://clickfi.re/BokCdfPI Quote
KingBollock Posted yesterday at 10:57 Posted yesterday at 10:57 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. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B085PXY3L2 1 Quote

Damn...I've got a 2nd-hand Behringer arriving this week! Fingers crossed I don't end up with the same experience - might try the Joyo if the Hellbabe turns out to be a dud. (Thanks for that suggestion) Quote

Like a lot of my pedals I've never seriously used it (I've somewhat moved away from anything more than the odd bit of Tremolo, echo/verb, and decent drive options. Still can't bring myself to get rid of any of my other pedals just in case, though.... and I'm still a bit tempted by that Joyo... they do nice pedals. I picked up an American Sound last year to use with a head phone pedal and a Mosky Baby Bomb 30w pedal format power amp. Very nice pedal for a silly low outlay.

I remember being tempted by a Dano one that looked like an old Cadillac, but it was a plastic body that made me leery.

Nearly bought one, but the Crybaby was significantly cheaper and I wasn't sold on the difference between them. I paid £75, if memory serves, for the Crybaby, while the Vox was £100 - those in 1995 prices, which would in real terms be twice that now. Looks like Vox, like a lot of players, have made it cheaper over time. Quote
