I wish that I could walk into Kirk Hammets house, smash every wah that he owns, of which I'm sure there are HUNDREDS, and scream, " PLEASE PLAY SOMETHING WITHOUT A DAMN WAH WAH PEDAL!!!!!!! It doesn't make you sound better, and it doesn't cover up subpar playing.✌️
Just wanted to say thanks Robert. Im 32 and just started playing guitar about 6 months ago. Your videos always give me ideas to practice on and inspiration to keep learning and getting better. I love it. Anyway rambling done. Thanks man
On Philip McKnight's channel he was selling a bunch of gear a few weeks back. I bought a mini cry baby wah from him and use it on my Marshall DSL40C. Never used one before. Love the wah for that little extra touch!
I'm sure someone else beat me to this, but to get the perfect sound of Money For Nothing-use a wah pedal about 1/3 open. The real sound was kind of an accident. If I recall correctly it had something to do with accidental phase cancellation between the channels on the mixer used for the lead guitar, and was left in. Anyway, yes Mr. Baker- wah can be easily overused. I stand guilty of having fallen into that trap! Carry on the great videos!
I use the Mark tremonti, morley ! No on or off switch ! A slight adjustment after the factory and it's there when you need it. With a booster knob for soloing ! Enough to cut through the mix !
I thought the Immigrant Song, Layla, & Pour Some Sugar on Me sounded fantastic with the Wah!!! Gave it a nice new flavor. I use the Slash Cry Baby Wah, I love the overdrive switch on it. It’s super nice when you’re playing something heavy & you want just a little more bite from your Wah tone
Using a Dunlop Mini-Crybaby. Like how it fits on a board. It has three different eq settings which I like as the wah interacts differently from guitar to guitar and amp to amp. I've done the wah trick to add some spice to playing in a band when there are no overdubs or other guitars in the mix. I like to use the wah for main riffs and solos. But for vocal accompaniment, I prefer to keep it simple.
First song I heard with wah in it was Cream's Tales of brave Ulysses. It's still the only song that benefits from wah. Mainly it doesn't work with melody lines or riffs as it kills tone and attack, but is OK with chords when you're trying to cover up mistakes.
back in the day , jammed out by the airport, Morley wah would pick up air traffic control. Always had My wah handy for ez tonal adjust for those dead sounding venues,cut above the din.
The Friedman is my most favoritest wah ever. I usually just use the middle toggle setting. Mild, but love it. Especially love how it has an always-on output buffer, which meant I could take my Analogman buffer (which is a fantastic buffer) off my board and save room.
Steve Vai’s bad horsie is on my board. I threw done the $$$ for a limited edition (special Vai Art) ad horsie. I also have a Hendrix Dunlop wah. Mississippi Queen sounds good with some slight wah accents
I use a George Dennis optical wah/volume unit, no crackle etc. They sound best with flange/delay imo, unless you're doing Hawkwind. Not keen on the saturated distortion sound
I have a Dunlop Custom Audio Electronics wah I got about a month ago. Great sound, it has two modes and a boost switch. Since I'm a big Soundgarden fan I had to get the same wah Kim Thayil uses. Turning on the boost with the wah down makes a really good lead tone.
I have a 25 y/o Dunlop Cry Baby. BUT! I just bought an Ibanez WH10 v2 to get the Froosh ( that's what I call Frusciante) tone and I ❤️ it. It's got more range, fits on my board better (KEY) and I really just like it a lot. I've had to do some soldering on the Dunlop and although it doesn't really effect it, I feel like it makes it more scratchy. Anyhow, ❤️ the channel, bruh!! Please, keep up the good work and I hope you have an amazing weekend!! ✌️✌️🎶🎶🎵
Having even the tiniest bit of cry to my Tone just works for so much of what I play. You've got to have some output to get the strummy stuff to not get muddy but palm mutes sound sick. Great vid, really dig the Custom.
I have 3 wahs that I use. Dunlop Crybaby, Moer Mod Factory ( auto wah ) and an ART SGX rack unit ( auto wah and pedal ). Wah is like Franks Hot Sauce, " I put that . . . "
Have a basic GCB95 from dunlop, but i modded it and now it has no buffer anymore and a LED-Indication when turned on. I also decreased the range in the upper register in order to make it as you said less naisely.
Wah is one of my favorites effects. it's just a beyond fun and dynamic tool to have. My mom bought me my first Wah pedal. She was super mad while hunting for the right Wah. No Funk artists had a signature. Super Determined she had to get a Cry Baby but not the standard one. Man I love the Slash signature Cry Baby it does Everything. I will never not have a Wah from now on. that was a Christmas gift about 2 years ago. So awesome .
Hi Robert, the wah wah pedal sounded pretty good. I liked Layla and the Immigrant song the best. I associate the wah wah pedal with White Room by Cream. I have used the Crybaby brand wah wah pedal. I like it the best! 🎸
Maybe I shouldn't post because I have never used a wah pedal before.But I do believe that when an artist records a song, they do what they do for a reason. Now every band has their out takes and they pick which is the best recording.Sometime a wah pedal is good. Sometimes it's bad. But we all learn by just playing.
Oh at the hammster jokes!! I have a Dunlap Jerry Cantrell that I love and a bad horsie. The Cantrell blows away the Morley but I do like the switchless action
Wah in moderation is cool. It’s usually overused, but I think can add a little something. But outside of overdrive/distortion, reverb and delay...all other modulation can be cool in moderation. Flange can be great, look how EVH used it, but it wasn’t on ALL the time.
1. Slash has his own immigrant song «standing in the sun» same key and almost riff. With a q zone(wah that is standing still) 🤘🏻😎 love em both 2. Wah for some funk and solos(not all of em) is cool 😍😍😍 Rocking 2 wahs( one on the home Board and band Board) Slash 18v wah (home) Slash 9 v wah (band) + qzone pedal so Guess 2,5 wah
The best wah pedal ever ! Original crybaby. Battery only . The vintage model doesn't have a 9 volt plug in . Battery powered only. Its not a printed board. Has actual resistors etc like an old radio. It has a totally different sound,tone etc. Mine was stolen 25+ year's ago. Looks like a basic crybaby but no 9volt side jack. Just 2 jack inputs in & out for guitar cable. If you can find one i promise you will love it !!! ✌
Uh oh...Don Henley’s goatee is on Fire now, you played something close to an Eagles tune. Anyway, wah is a great taste that tastes great with everything. So, I use my Wylde CryBaby a ton. Mainly because I suck, but it sounds pretty decent.
Robert, I'll admit that I'm not as much of a wah fan as I used to be, but I'll also admit to being fortunate enough to own a 70s Cry Baby. I bought it new and then gigged with it -- back in the days before anyone (or at least I) ever thought of mounting pedals on a board for simplicity, portability, reliability and security. Naturally, it got SERIOUSLY beat up over the years. Always sounded good, though. For the day-to-day Basement Boogie, though, I've gone digital. Now, I have models of both the Cry Baby and Clyde McCoy wahs -- and I rarely use either of them. Still like the sound, though!😎❤️️🎸‼️
Carried away on wah, Jimi Rainy Day Dream Away on Electric Lady Land combined with some serious stereo separation, listen to that on headphones, it's so mind bending you'll be literally blown away, kind of messes with your equilibrium. I have a Dunlop original cry baby from the 80's, has that weird non standard power supply jack, one day I'd like to find one with more range, a broader tone sweep like Jimi seemed to have. The wah has a lot of use like Mark Knopfler and his cocked wah on Money for Nothing.

Post your best Wah jokes below :)
What did Kirk Hammett say when he was a baby
I hear that Kirk Hammett's real name is Kirk Whammett.
Wha t for?
@@archerevan823 he said,' give me back that tittie, Wahhhhhh.🤣
One of the dislikes was definitely Adele!
This vid making Kirk ‘tingly’ in all right places.
I wish that I could walk into Kirk Hammets house, smash every wah that he owns, of which I'm sure there are HUNDREDS, and scream, " PLEASE PLAY SOMETHING WITHOUT A DAMN WAH WAH PEDAL!!!!!!! It doesn't make you sound better, and it doesn't cover up subpar playing.✌️
Now you need to do a "Better Without Wah" video. 🤷♂️😁
No such thing! 🎸🤘🏽
Just wanted to say thanks Robert. Im 32 and just started playing guitar about 6 months ago. Your videos always give me ideas to practice on and inspiration to keep learning and getting better. I love it. Anyway rambling done. Thanks man
Sunshine of Your Love is GLORIOUS with wah!! Absolutely loved that.
I can just imagine joe Walsh’s facial expressions with wah life in the fast lane 🤪
I was already thinking a "step" further with the talk box🙄
Sunshine of your love sounded the best with wah in my opinion 😁
Definitely ,I agree
I agree !
100% agree used right wah sounds amazing with blues rock just look at Hendrix
Robert: "I want to avoid copyright" (starts examples with 2 biggest blockers) 😂😂😂
Follow this up with a video..."Why all riffs need wah!" LOL. Good stuff like always man. Inspired. Watching now.
On Philip McKnight's channel he was selling a bunch of gear a few weeks back. I bought a mini cry baby wah from him and use it on my Marshall DSL40C. Never used one before. Love the wah for that little extra touch!
I'm sure someone else beat me to this, but to get the perfect sound of Money For Nothing-use a wah pedal about 1/3 open.

Anyway, yes Mr. Baker- wah can be easily overused. I stand guilty of having fallen into that trap!
Carry on the great videos!
"I don't need no Wah Wah." - "Wah Wah" George Harrison
Love that wah sound. Definitely will have to buy it down the road
I use the Mark tremonti, morley ! No on or off switch ! A slight adjustment after the factory and it's there when you need it. With a booster knob for soloing ! Enough to cut through the mix !
One of those I thinks its a Dunlop mini wahs that has 3 voicings , like it cause it saves space ,sounds good too, have a great weekend all.
Definitely worked well with Sunshine of your love!
Life in the fast lane is one if my favourite riffs and I have to say, it sounded phenomenal with wah
I only felt the Cream tune really. Everything else seems to drowned in the saturated tone.
I agree completely.😉
That’s why wah pedals are also called fixingyourfuckupspedals
Doesn't Clapton already use wah in the Sunshine riff?
@@timchristianson252 no there's no wah
I thought the Immigrant Song, Layla, & Pour Some Sugar on Me sounded fantastic with the Wah!!! Gave it a nice new flavor. I use the Slash Cry Baby Wah, I love the overdrive switch on it. It’s super nice when you’re playing something heavy & you want just a little more bite from your Wah tone
Sunshine Of Your Love and Just Got Paid are awesome with wah!
I've been rockin a Snarling Dogs Whine-O since buying it used in back in 2000. The eyes still light up and all 3 modes still work great!
I'd love to hear a load of Led Zep with Wah... Especially 'Whole lot of love'!
I have an RMC perfect ten wah! Love your Friedman too!
I have the Cantrell wah, I love the tone control knob on it
Cool you mentioned Immigrant Song from Zeppelin. The Zeppelin songs I immediately thought of was either The Ocean or Kashmir.
Bad Horsie Wah is what I have. I like it. Your classic riffs with a Wah...very Hendrix sounding to me.
I love that LP.
I remember a guy asking for wah when Rob was live
Here you go Rob gave you a whole video
Using a Dunlop Mini-Crybaby. Like how it fits on a board. It has three different eq settings which I like as the wah interacts differently from guitar to guitar and amp to amp.

Pretty sure the Pour Some Sugar On Me hriff as a phaser on it anyway at some point in the song. Dope wah pedal!
First song I heard with wah in it was Cream's Tales of brave Ulysses. It's still the only song that benefits from wah. Mainly it doesn't work with melody lines or riffs as it kills tone and attack, but is OK with chords when you're trying to cover up mistakes.
I have Dunlop cry baby original wah it it so good
It’s the standard for a reason!
Same here, don't think you can beat eat personally....
I have Dimebag's original Dunlop Wah and it too kicks maximum ass
back in the day , jammed out by the airport, Morley wah would pick up air traffic control. Always had My wah handy for ez tonal adjust for those dead sounding venues,cut above the din.
Literally had same with my Morley wah, was thinking about it this week as well
The Friedman is my most favoritest wah ever. I usually just use the middle toggle setting. Mild, but love it. Especially love how it has an always-on output buffer, which meant I could take my Analogman buffer (which is a fantastic buffer) off my board and save room.
Just love your general playing style Robert, rock on brother!
Steve Vai’s bad horsie is on my board. I threw done the $$$ for a limited edition (special Vai Art) ad horsie.
I also have a Hendrix Dunlop wah.
Mississippi Queen sounds good with some slight wah accents
I have a JHS modded mini crybaby. Its got a gain knob, and a tone knob that goes from wah to woh.
Just rocking the old faithful vox wah
I use a George Dennis optical wah/volume unit, no crackle etc. They sound best with flange/delay imo, unless you're doing Hawkwind. Not keen on the saturated distortion sound
I have a Dunlop Custom Audio Electronics wah I got about a month ago. Great sound, it has two modes and a boost switch. Since I'm a big Soundgarden fan I had to get the same wah Kim Thayil uses. Turning on the boost with the wah down makes a really good lead tone.
Rocking the Slash signature Wah pedal, really rocks out, changed a Vox Wah for it.
Wah is like gravy. It makes everything more TASTY.
But i don’t like gravy
@@theccarbiter ohh bummer. Then maybe salsa? Or a nice aolie? But i can see where wah is not for everyone.
@@Addicted2Guitar I like wah on clean to get funky tones but it never really jived with me for distorted tones the way phaser did.
Great vid he did use a wah wah on sunshine of your love
I have a 25 y/o Dunlop Cry Baby. BUT! I just bought an Ibanez WH10 v2 to get the Froosh ( that's what I call Frusciante) tone and I ❤️ it. It's got more range, fits on my board better (KEY) and I really just like it a lot. I've had to do some soldering on the Dunlop and although it doesn't really effect it, I feel like it makes it more scratchy. Anyhow, ❤️ the channel, bruh!! Please, keep up the good work and I hope you have an amazing weekend!! ✌️✌️🎶🎶🎵
You can also take em apart & jump 1 tooth up or down on the pot to change the tone
I have a vox 847 wah and absolutely love it. I love any vox wah’s. I’m a huge hendrix fan so I tend to lean towards that kind of wah tone.
Having even the tiniest bit of cry to my Tone just works for so much of what I play. You've got to have some output to get the strummy stuff to not get muddy but palm mutes sound sick. Great vid, really dig the Custom.
I use the Vox V 847a wah. I love it!
You should do a video on how wah and volume pedals really are expression pedals
I have 3 wahs that I use. Dunlop Crybaby, Moer Mod Factory ( auto wah ) and an ART SGX rack unit ( auto wah and pedal ). Wah is like Franks Hot Sauce, " I put that . . . "
Really liked sunshine of your love.
I'm rockin the Morley Tremonti wah and zakk Wylde Dunlop.
Omg I need to learn that song deliver us never heard it before but damn Robert!! That wah just completely transformed that riff added that punch
Have a basic GCB95 from dunlop, but i modded it and now it has no buffer anymore and a LED-Indication when turned on. I also decreased the range in the upper register in order to make it as you said less naisely.
im using a slash crybaby classic wah, it's cool right balance true bypass, looks sick , i love it
Got a joyo multimode wah. :) I like Life in the Fast Lane. And I like that it adds to the build up
Wahs up??
Wah is one of my favorites effects. it's just a beyond fun and dynamic tool to have. My mom bought me my first Wah pedal. She was super mad while hunting for the right Wah.

I have a Vox 861, great pedal!
Sunshine for the win!! All the ideas were great and I would love to see some of these ripped up live.
Can you put the tubs of the start solo of every video on the screen please?
We need WAH WEDNESDAY'S!
I'm currently rocking the Snarling Dogs whine o wah and the Digitech Jimi Hendrix experience pedal
I got a Morley Michael Ammott Wah that screams and no pots to fail.
It's an awesome tool to use sparingly to bring out more personality!
SRV live Voodoo Child is just awesome!
Hi Robert, the wah wah pedal sounded pretty good. I liked Layla and the Immigrant song the best. I associate the wah wah pedal with White Room by Cream. I have used the Crybaby brand wah wah pedal. I like it the best! 🎸

I have an old school cry baby and I love it...bought it at a pawn shop like 30 years ago!
Oh at the hammster jokes!! I have a Dunlap Jerry Cantrell that I love and a bad horsie. The Cantrell blows away the Morley but I do like the switchless action
Man Robert I’m really liking that Friedman wah this was a great show on wah stay safe you and your family.
Wah in moderation is cool. It’s usually overused, but I think can add a little something. But outside of overdrive/distortion, reverb and delay...all other modulation can be cool in moderation. Flange can be great, look how EVH used it, but it wasn’t on ALL the time.
Still love the original riffage. I can say though they sound pretty sic with Wah. Cool video. Thank you for sharing. 🤠🎸🤘
You needed an Ultimate Warrior shirt for this one.
Thank you for showing The Ultimate Warrior some love!
Every Blind Guardian riff intensify
I love my Cantrell wah.
..dude,..you got the wah thing down,...saying this as a funk player who has a shirt saying plays right, wahs left...👍🎸🦶🎵🖤
1. Slash has his own immigrant song «standing in the sun» same key and almost riff. With a q zone(wah that is standing still) 🤘🏻😎 love em both
2. Wah for some funk and solos(not all of em) is cool 😍😍😍
Rocking 2 wahs( one on the home Board and band Board)
Slash 18v wah (home)
Slash 9 v wah (band) + qzone pedal so Guess 2,5 wah
Oh boy... You gone did it! Don Henleys 60 employees are drooling for your money!
Really dug Life in the Fast Lane and Layla!
As for what wah.. T-wah in the Katana lol

The Friedman wah makes everything sound a little alice in chains-ish...and i like it
Kirk Hammett wah and Joe Bonamassa Wah is the best. See them both playing!!
Sunshine of your love was awesome but none of the other ones with the wah were for me
I love the wah . I have the EVH one
I have a Amt Japanese girl wah. I like it a lot
I have a dunlop cry baby wah, and I actually like sunshine of your love
Uh oh...Don Henley’s goatee is on Fire now, you played something close to an Eagles tune. Anyway, wah is a great taste that tastes great with everything. So, I use my Wylde CryBaby a ton. Mainly because I suck, but it sounds pretty decent.
I love my Snarling Dog Blues Bawls wah that hurts.
The life in the fast lane riff with wah sounds immaculate
LOL - at the thought of Angus using a Wah.

Still like the sound, though!😎❤️️🎸‼️
I should add that my old Cry Baby predates Dunlop ownership. It's OLD!
Everywhere I see anything "Wah", reminds me of Kirk Hammett, damnit.
Same
Ah, no. Mrs Smith is the premier queen of wah now....
@@rivulus no
Kirk Wahmmet
Carried away on wah, Jimi Rainy Day Dream Away on Electric Lady Land combined with some serious stereo separation, listen to that on headphones, it's so mind bending you'll be literally blown away, kind of messes with your equilibrium. I have a Dunlop original cry baby from the 80's, has that weird non standard power supply jack, one day I'd like to find one with more range, a broader tone sweep like Jimi seemed to have. The wah has a lot of use like Mark Knopfler and his cocked wah on Money for Nothing.
I can see where a lot of those songs should have had a wah in just a bit of those.
Got me a classic Dunlop. Mainstay of pretty much everyone who didn't signature it.
I’m rocking a Morley Power Fuzz Wah
My mind: Okay, no jokes about Kirk Hammett, no jokes about Kirk...
Me: Video should called : “If this riffs were written by Kirk Hammett”
You made the Clapton riffs sound more Clapton-y with the wah 😂
for the immigrant song it was to muddy, like it was so muddy it was like quick sand. Sunshine of your love was pretty rad.
I am using a Dimebag Wah. It is good its my first wah.
At the very end, I think you meant to say it's easy to get carried a wah.
