What are you guys using for Wah these days? I used to have a modded Vox wah that sounded pretty nice, but I've been wah-less for a few years now...thinking of jumping back into these waters.
Fulltone Clyde? Teese? Crybaby? I'm playing my Rt66 mostly these days with a telecaster.

I like my Fulltone Clyde Deluxe (wacked setting), the RMC ones are very nice as well (or so I read).

Chalk up another for the Clyde Deluxe in "wacked" mode. Once in a while I'll play around with Jimi mode, which I think is actually closer to FZ mode, but I'm a little strange that way...

I've tried a lot of wahs and settled on the Teese Picture wah. It's not shrilly at all on the top end, and it's very clean.

Here's an update on my Teese Picture Wah. The on/off switch broke after about 1/2 hour of use. I emailed G.Teese about this and he offered my 3 options: 1) try to fix it myself, 2) send the wah back to him plus $13 for shipping, or 3) send him $9 for a new switch. I just paid $235 for this sucker, and this is the customer service I get? In contrast, I received a new Zendrive from Alf Hermida a few months ago that had something wrong with the 9V adaptor jack. He immediately sent me a new one, along with the $$$ to send the first one back. In his emails to me, Mr. Teese also seems like a bit of a defensive, nasty character. Thanks for nothing!

The on/off switch broke after about 1/2 hour of use. A reputation is a valuable thing. Excepting ouright abuse, you'd think the manufacturer would want to make good on a failure like that. Particularly on a $235 pedal.

The same thing happened with my Teese Wizard Wah. After a few days of use in my home studio, the on/off switch broke. Luckily, Noel at Tone Merchants was great and took it back for credit. However, with all the hype around these Teese Wahs and especially with the high price tag, there's really no excuse for cheap components wearing out that early. I've never had a Cry Baby on/off switch brake that quickly.
There's really no excuse for these "boutique" builders not standing behind their products. As an owner of a small family business myself, I just can't stand it when other small companies don't see how vital their reputation is and how quickly some of them will write off a customer with a problem as a nuisance in stead of standing behind their product and making things right. I will definitely be staying away from any other Teese Wahs, even if they do sound great.

Just got a new wah and gigged with it last night, and I am very pleased with the sound. It's a Snarling Dogs Wonder Wah 2. I was looking for a good classic tone, without having to pay the boutique price-I listened to a lot of sound clips and tried out a bunch of different pedals-thought I'd give this one a try. Very simple pedal-no twiddling at all-just plug and play. Thick creamy tone, and really sounded good with my keeley BD-2 engaged. Only negative (I guess) is its size-it's a big sob and weighs about 5 lbs. Now I need a new pedal board! Check them out, and see if you like yours as I do mine so far. www.snarlingdogs.com
