Can anyone tell me if there is a pedal out there that sounds like a wah pedal..when it's full on? I don't mean an auto wah or an envelope filter though. I was just playing around with a riff and just pushed my wah the whole way down and it was the perfect tone! Has anyone heard of something like this? |

If so, maybe start with that setting on your amp? Or just keep a wah pedal "pushed all the way down" as part of your live setup - you do have one, don't you? |

Keeley does a fixed wah pedal, and I've seen others (Jekeko, Catalinbread I think) but never paid much attention to them 'cause I don't need one (yet).
Check into having one made, should be a simple circuit a local guitar shop tech could bang together... or yourself with bits from BYOC, Small Bear etc Google ...
Cheers,
FF

It's the best way to do fixed frequency boosting a la wah without alot of faffing!
