Allright, thanks for the suggestions. And yes, Melvins are awesome (there's an entire live show on YouTube, Live at Hellfest I think, that I've watched at least twenty times). But I don't really see them as stoner. They're just the Melvins, a category of their own.

Think it needs a bit of a tune up though. Dont know if these every had springs, or were supposed to hold in place, but when you take your foot off it it balances itself right in the middle of wah sweep. Need to install some sort of spring to hold it down when my foots not on it. Power cable's alittle chewed up, nothing some electrical tape can't fix
Cool! I like my wah most among the dirt... I plugged it - Grey Stache to Bass Wowee-Wah to VT Bass... Such combination damn rules... But sometimes I kill vt for a deeper efffect of wah...

I would see how it holds tension and adjust it so that you can leave it cocked (ha ha) I love using that sound as another texture. Also try the wah out front I prefer that with guitar as you're distorting the sweep instead of feeding it an already dirty signal

One of my co-workers just bought Soundgarden tickets. Thinking about this on the way home yesterday, I popped Down on the Upside into the cd player in the car. I hadn't listened to it for years, holy balls it's a great album. I forgot how much I like them. I'm definitely not one of the "They haven't put out anything good since Badmotorfinger" crowd.

Who is digging Datura (New Zealand) here? They spitted two LPs in 90s & dissapeared. Just love their simple yet catchy psy. stoner... With time I found myself digging, listening & playing simple music... Less movement, more sence - thats what I really like last years.

Yeah, Down on the Upside & Superunknown still hit the bulls eye. In mid 90s I was an orthodox metalhead & Soundgarden was one of a little number of non-metal bands I dug those days.

I prefer wah>dirt. PWF never had springs just the plastic bushing to keep tension. Remember you want it toe down when off it doubles as a volume.

Cool... yeah it doesnt stick in place anymore, just bounces back to mid-sweep. So maybe somethin just needs tightened or replaced. Shouldnt be too hard once I get a chance to sit down n mess with it. With the Boost off, engaging the wah gets a pretty hefty volume drop. May be different if it was 1st in the chain instead of post-dirt, dunno. But I'm gonna experiment with it and even if I have to leave the boost engaged, just set it up as another gain stage and adjust everything else accordingly. Its so big and cool and chrome (and immediately had the wah tone I was looking for) that I'm willing to experiment a bit to "make it fit" with my other stuff. My bandmates love when I bring a wah.

Sounds too tight, also I thing the volume drop your hearing is the beginning of the sweep which is (IMO) so low (frequency)you can't hear it.

Speaking of records labels, any of you guys into Man's Ruin?

A lot of Doom bands, and some unknown bands too. Soulpreacher is rad.

For some reason I like the bass tone one "walk this way" by Aerosmith, anyone else?

I've played an Aerosmith bass before, a white Guild Pilot, on the inside of the battery compartment there was a sticker that said "Property of Aerosmith", that bass probably played that song many a time...I wonder how many drugs were taken off the back of that bass

Yeah I dig Datura and the bass player's solo project Lamp of the Universe which is really chill music with alot of eastern/indian influence. Check out the album Acid Mantra if you haven't already. I really dig that one.
