Phaedrus Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 Hi. Little more to ask than what's in the title - anyone running both wah & auto-wah? Thanks, Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phaedrus Posted March 20, 2010 Author Share Posted March 20, 2010 Rather than using both together, I'm wondering if an auto-wah can do almost what a wah can do? For You Oughta Know, I'd like to use an auto wah to accent those little fills & burps, and of course, that big slap, but for Cochise, I'd like to use the wah. Could an auto-wah give me the type and amount of wah I'd need for Cochise (as an example)? Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackLondon Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 properly set up auto wah should do the job very well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Higgie Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 I don't think an Auto-Wah can pull off Cochise to be honest. I have the Subdecay Prometheus AND an MSD Earthquake Wah on my board for this very reason. The Cochise riff isn't just a straight forward Auto-Wah on a cycle, IMO you need the Manual to get the expression and phrasing of the Wah just right.

Cheers[/quote] Thats why I use both, I mostly use the GR (auto-wah) with fuzz and oc-2 for synthmania, I use the auto-wah when I want an auto-wah, i.e. when I want a filter sounds but it doesn't need to be controlled, I use the wha when I need to control it. Cochise is a good example, as the timing of the filter is a key aspect of the song (calm like a bomb is the best example methinks). I can pull of a decent calm like a bomb with the wha and groove regulator, both to give it an extra thick OTT sound (Tim Commerford uses 2 105q's at the same time), and the wha so I can time the filter sound properly.
