I wonder how long this thread will last...
On topic, isn't it more of an auto-wah?

Edit: Ah, *fixed* wah

i dont like the sound of the distortion. plus a fixed wah sound seems kinda pointless. reminds me of Ehx electric mistress where you can use a "filter matrix" which does the same thing.

I used to be on the same boat until I realized that the reason that the guitarist in my band's clean tone rocked so much was because his Budda Bud-Wah was almost always engaged in the toe down position.

Now I'm a fan

No politics in this forum, please. I want to continue liking everyone here, and once politics becomes a topic, civility and good discussion go the way of the dodo.
