nilorius Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 If You suddenly had a need for a wah-wah fx, what would You choose Dunlop crybaby or one of autowah pedals ? I took Crybaby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YouMa Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 (edited) Unless you are going for a cocked wah frequency thing which I thing sounds awful on bass but good on lead guitar,I would just go for an envelope filter and carefully dial in what you want. I just build a dod fx 25 from Internet schematic not boxed yet but its the nuts. Edited May 4, 2022 by YouMa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P-Belly Evans Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 Sonuus Wahoo for me. Does the mutron and cry baby thing, auto wah's and loads more. The bonus is that is is for both bass and guitar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uk_lefty Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 I'm no massive user of it but I think they're two very different effects. I had a Dunlop bass crybaby and it was fantastic, I'm now using an AMT bass wah and it's pretty good, the Dunlop was better in that it had more range. I'd use an autowah when I want a quicker response than I can get from rocking my foot but the wah pedal gives more depth or sweep to what you're doing to the note... IMO.

StickyDBRmf Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 All I've ever used is a Morley. You can peel paint off walls with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmo Valdemar Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 I've tried a few bass wahs. My favourite by far is the Ibanez Weeping Demon - it screams. Most bass-specific wahs seem to do the Dunlop thing if just affecting the mids. Not the Demon! Very Call of Ktulu-style howls. I love it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StickyDBRmf Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 BTW I did "Bassically" (Geezer) with a Morley in a gymnasium and a girl that was sitting in front of me on the floor came up to me afterward and said. "Wasn't that a bit...EXPANDING?" I said what do you mean. She said it made her feel like she had to go to the bathroom. To this day I don't know if she was complimenting me or criticizing but I always thought, "Man, I made a girl almost sh*t herself with my bass. COOL."

dudewheresmybass Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 The Ibanez weeping demon has been my go to wah for over 15 years now. Its super versatile, does switched as well as automatic switch-on, and has some well thought out controls giving options sound wise I've owned and used many different wahs - The cliff like morley power fuzz wah, geezer, coloursound, dunlop 105, 535 etc.... and always return to the demon. As said earlier, it can really SCREAM when paired with a tasty fuzz. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
