Recommend me a Wah!

[natthu]

Over the years I have owned hundreds of different effects pedals, however, just last week I decided to learn some Hendrix, Voodoo Chile to be precise. It was then that I realised a few things: 1) I need a wah pedal, 2) that I have never actually owned or used a wah, and because of this: 3) I know nothing about the differences between the many models of wah available.

My research has led me to mainly Dunlop Crybaby wahs and Vox wahs. Also there is a new Vox Wah (V845) coming out soon which is supposedly being built to original Hendrix-era specs. I figure I'll try to find some shops which stock a few wah pedals so I can try them out.

I am looking mainly for a Hendrix sound. Does anyone have any specific wah recommendations?

I have a standard Cry Baby and it does the Hendrix sound very good for me. I do also use it a lot for Morrello's stuff on Bulls on Parade and other RATM tracks. Maybe the Vox is a little more Hendrix like, I don't know, never played one.

Hey Joske, Thanks for the reply... is your Crybaby the one with a fasel inductor or just the normal one?

[Joske Turbo]

It's a normal one, the GCB-95. I never tried one with the Fasel, it must sound great.
