alexclaber Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 It sounds like you'd be best off with a multi-FX which you can programme as you so wish. The Roland V-Bass is a particularly righteous choice. With analogue pedals tap-dancing and large pedalboards are a requirement if you want as much versatility and control as a multi-FX. The upside is that you can be very choosy about your tone, the downside is the cost and weight. I've owned a couple of dozen pedals over the years - the only ones with any problems were an analogue Big Muff (fixed for free, been fine since) and two digital Akai Deep Impacts, the first I won, the second a backup I bought when the first started being eccentric which then went bad itself (both sold as faulty as I couldn't tolerate the cost of fixing them).

Buzz Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 I think you need to do a bit of looking up on the difference between analogue and digital signal handling, which is what I think you're referring too, but getting confused with general electronics. All electronics are essentially analogue, digital refers to how the electrical signal is shaped and processed. And for your information, microchips contain most of all the components that can be located on a circuit board. /Mini lesson over From what I can gather, you want a fully reliable pedal that won't wear out (meaning you'll be wanting an optical wah solution rather than a pot) and you also want digial effects processing rather than analogue, as they can do more. I'm sure people here can recommend pedals based on the above critera. I do suspect however you'll probably end up with a wah and an extra pedal or two.

cheddatom Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 All said above is very true. I'd look for an akai vari wah. They go for £50ish on ebay I think. Try one out! Otherwise, you could probably get someone to make an optical cry baby for you. That would last longer obviously, but wouldn't have multiple patches that you can save and switch between.

lemoley Posted September 7, 2007 Author Share Posted September 7, 2007 thanks for all your posts guys - will check the Akai out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
velvetkevorkian Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Maybe check out the Boss V-Wah. No doubt FX purists hate it but it does have a variety of wahs, 3 presets and tank like construction in its favour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metal-Mariachi Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 In the high roller category, two suggestions. [url="http://www.silvermachine.de/"]http://www.silvermachine.de/[/url] [url="http://www.sourceaudio.net/hothand/wah.php"]http://www.sourceaudio.net/hothand/wah.php[/url] Both are well made and sound great.

EBS_freak Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 I'm staying out of this one... I feel it may turn into a flame fest... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheddatom Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 I don't know what's on that video (at work), but I will always highly recommend the wah probe, especially on bass. It's great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Foxen Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 [quote]True Bypass - On/Off Digital Volume Amount of Wah Different types of wah on it also - Auto, Synth etc[/quote] Behringer Hellbabe, plus looper pedal for the win. Lots of adjusty knobs, optical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toasted Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 I love my MSD wah. The Royer Mayer wah gets alot of good press too - but that has way too many buttons for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
