Best bass wah????

dunlop 105q bass wah all the way.. i have used other wahs.. gigfx sub wah was the WORST wah i ever used. i was not pleased by any means by way of quality, overpriced.. poor construction, and poor sound.. the morley bass wah was pretty damn cool. but the footprint was too big.. pedalboard real estate is very precious
 
I just put mine at the very end of my chain with good result. But now y'all have me thinking. If I had a dollar for evey time I changed my order/revamped my board, I'd have more pedals.

At the end is a good way too, you get a great sweep that way.
I use Darkglass Vintage Microtubes as an always on tool, I never turn it off. It goes after my 105Q and it gives me more aggressive wah tones. It dirties up the wah, in a nutshell.
 
I own and use the morley dual bass wah.. It's great, built like a tank and has the opto pot that never gets scratchy. But as someone else said it has a huge footprint.. i really want to try the George lynch red dragon where you can set the frequencies that are sweeped.

Me too bit concerned about the lack of moving parts meaning that cables are going up and down all the time, which could lead to jack damage. Also, you still have to rock it forwards to activate which is annoying when compared to weight sensistive wahs.


That EHX Crying Bass is the worst design ever. Try putting it on a pedalboard. What were they thinking??
