Wah

Ernie Ball wah
Budda wah
Vox wah

I must admit the Ernie Ball does it for me. It's nice and light too. The Budda has a great voice but a too short travel path. The Vox is great sounding (gets harsh at the treble end) but the amount of tone-suck is really noticeable when it's off.

Morley Classic Wah, followed quite shortly by a Morley Bad Horsie.

I love the sound of both of them, the Bad Horsie suits me better with its switchless operation :)

Too much gain is... just about enough

Ernie Ball is working on a combo Volume/Wah pedal, I will definitely be trying that one out as I use and love the EB VP Jr. Going to GC to try some wahs during lunch...what else is there to do?

i've owned the dunlop, vox, and morley mark tremonti wah, and they all didn't cut it for me...they were all way too noisy and didn't sound good to me. then i got a fulltone standard and it kicks ass.

i've heard that the deluxe is a bit of a pain in the ass, but the standard is awesome. it makes no noise, has a great sweep, is true bypass, is built like a tank, and has an awesome sound and sweep. great wah, best i've ever heard.

downside....its expensive. but i got mine on craigslist for 140..

the dunlop 535Q wah is a great wah too, check it out. it doesn't sound like a fulltone, but its a very popular choice.

+1 on the fulltone standard.

i think it sounds great, havn't compared it to the deluxe but my general rule is if it has lots of knobs and buttons dont bother
