Great vid, very clever approach, let the guitar do the talking , great playing and lots of comparison scope and you didn't say , "hey what's up" like every other fool. Absolute winner. The Vox tone and character in the high end distortion of your leads stands right out. Beautiful.

2:20 I thought somebody from muppet show is hiding behind the red amp! :))

[@blindhtownkilla]

Why is no one here talking about the Ibanez WH10?? Thing sounds awesome! Fantastic range and smooth tone sweep, not too noisy as to take away from the True Tone of the guitar

[@kyleadam2362]

Exactly, but I guess we all have different preferences.

[@dmitri4005]

It is the best wah ever I have one from the 80s and it’s my favorite pedal

[@Qliphirot]

Ibanez pedals in general have always been underrated

[@MC-hx6nk]

​@@Qliphirot There's this green tube one they made. Really good, but the name escapes me.

[@BL00DYME55]

@@MC-hx6nk Tube screamer. TS808 and TS9 are downright Iconic overdrive pedals

[@diegorojas]

I was so high that I saw a puppet coming from the upper right

[@forbzee44]

I thought I was the only one

[@MC-hx6nk]

For a moment, I was wondering why there was this guy wearing a blue hat popping up from behind the amp head. He has impeccable timing - considering he doesn't know how the player is going to accentuate each passage 😅

[@wildblueangel7431]

Yes!!!!..me too!..thought the same thing..lmao😅

[@YoughpCornejo]

This cracked me up hahaha

[@luiza177music]

Best wah demo I've seen

[@nostro1001]

Likely the Xotic...not to mention the size is ideal and can be heavily tweaked. Then again like most things in the pedal world, much depends on your gear etc. Great demo - thanks.👍 🎸😎

[@aangtonio5570]

I like the Morley electro-optical approach (I HATE scratchy pots), but I prefer that vintage Dunlop/Vox tone. Something like a Dunlop/Vox-style wah pedal with an electro-optical (no pot!) approach could be a SERIOUS game-changer!

[@alexandrvetelkin5196]

Xotic XW-1 the cleanest and most comfortable sized wah, perfect

[@wordofmouth7679]

The Morley seems to be incredibly responsive across the sweep range. The Dunlop is also very consistent and pleasing in each setting. I am a budda bud-wah player for 12+ years and just got the John petrucci wah which I also love. So many great tones from which to choose with wahs and every other kind of pedal!

[@timbervandenhul9383]

I have the Morley Bad Horsey 2 and it is very responsive but somehow it never sounds just right. Also you can't set it to a fixed position, which you may see as a positive or negative.

[@64north20west]

Dunlop and Vox for traditional sound at one end of the spectrum, xotic for unconventional wah clarity at the other end. All 3 were standouts, IMO. My best guess is that the intro "theme" was a Dunlop.

[@maurihrino8158]

Cry baby and Ibanez Vh10 my favourite! The first one if you love the classic "sweet" wah tone , the second one if you need a more "sparkle" , "versatile" tone , fantastic with distortion!

[@GARY6661967]

Awesome video. No chat just great content. Thank you my musical brother. Peace, love and respect✌❤🙏

[@corcstef]

I have an early Fulltone Clyde from 1998 and I love it. To me, the Clyde Deluxe here also sounds the best and the most vocal out of these. It stands slightly apart from the rest. I also have a Jeffery Teese RMC 1 wah from the late 90’s I like. There is a knack to using a wah correctly & musically yes.

[@CrazedFandango]

Dunlop is consistently good; Xotic is a contender; I have the Fulltone, but may swap after hearing this.

[@maximumguitarage]

I went Xotic xw-1 and have a VOX845 and not that it matters yet John Mayer made the switch in 2019 for the XW1. I wanted it because it has true bypass and no tone suck with buffering for fuzz. So worked for me in my needs. I did like how the ibanez W10 sounded overall.

[@adamscottv]

Cry Baby just sounds right to me, like a wah is supposed to sound.

[@vintagev8muscle721]

*GETTIN FUNKY*. NIce strat and playing. 😎👍🏼

[@CellarGuitarist]

Quality Demo as always

[@CyrilViXP]

Strange, how Xotic, Ibanez are distorting sound a little bit more than others. Could be useful sometimes. Cry Baby is my favorite. Once I had Morley Bad Horsie and it was very difficult to use it - it needs precise control and still sounds strange. I don't recommend it

[@FretFriendGWaL]

Dunlop Crybaby for me: always has been! Consistently good if maintained/kept clean...

[@Paul-dw2cl]

they break, though. I’ve had so many break, sometimes right out of the box

[@michael_caz_nyc]

Love my 2009 Fulltone Clyde Deluxe. Nice comparison. I did not care for: the Morley (seemed too introduce some faint-white noise) or the Ibanez (non vocal sounding in the heel-down position)

[@WhiteWizzard]

Yes. Morley and Ibanez were lacking

[@mariossargianos3139]

That was a nice one! I could gig with either of them but I would choose recording clean sounds with the Xotic and leads with the dunlop.

[@BrandonMobley614]

Ibanez WH10. Why? Because that's what John Frusciante uses.

[@rthomp3224]

LMAO FACTS thats exactly my thought process

[@mkv2718]

why does “so and so uses it!” matter for any effect? what matters is do YOU like it. if it doesn’t produce a sound that works with the way you play, i don’t care if Jesus himself used the dang thing. hero worship is so weird🤨

[@auzetvitor]

Best comment

[@netyn]

exactly no doubts

[@skylerbastian6616]

@@mkv2718 Jesus himself did use the WH10 though! ;)

[@cevikmetalcovers]

Thank you for this meaningful comparison ! I stick with the cry baby, the others are tamed like for a promotional video transition you know ^^

[@jessehutchings]

Very interesting. It seems the differences become most apparent with heavy distortion. I thought the Dunlop, Ibanez and Fulltone had the most pronounced effect there

[@chillidogkev]

So basically they all sound so similar, in a band context it makes no difference at all. I'll have the cheapest please.

[@UnremarkableMarx]

Nah WH10

[@dimayehonathankurbet8960]

They all sounds kind of the same to me!! Thats crazy but thats make a totally sence because they all are a WAH pedals :D

[@ScottyBrockway]

Awesome demo, wow the bad horsie is noisy.

[@qddk9545]

I think the Xotic stood out, and would have expected more from the Fulltone, but it has a lot of possibilities to try out. I have a RMC, Xotic Yellow, Dunlop standard a CEA, but haven´t pulled myself together to test them against each other. The Dunlop is under modding and will have a true bypass switch. To me it will be important how my wah works together with a Fuzz.

[@Vikkk1978]

Thanks. Xotic and Dunlop sound the most expressive in my opinion. Fullton is also good.

[@qddk9545]

It is a very well done test 🙂

[@band_siberianhusky]

I have Dunlop and Vox wah and all of pedals in the review sound great. Vox is most familiar with my feet.

[@Mr.Goldbar]

Morley and Ibanez for distortion and Xotic for clean :)

[@ALIASZARDOZ]

Super demo. Excellent comparisons. Only one question : what do you think about the Weeping Demon Wha Wha from Ibanez ? Did you do a video about this particular wha wha pedal ? (Maybe I didn't see it) Many thanks in advance ☺ Kind regards, Phil from Dunkirk

[@fixedguitar47]

So go with the rack mount.... GOT IT.

[@8odycount]

I have the GCB but I like the Xotic more I have to admit. It has a much clearer sound. The gcb tends to peak out at high frequencies.

[@Sanjmaghera]

Which ones most comfortable to use while sitting down?

[@michelvondenhoff9673]

Not a looker but I like the Ibanez best.

[@roblarson9065]

Exotic wins every time.

[@MrDaigoRiki]

Nice studio!

[@paginghulu]

Fulltone all the way.

[@gmr9701]

Bad Horsie does it for me

[@vajraloka1]

Didn't know there was so many wah peddles

[@arkeyn3831]

so lost among these pedals. however the classic cry baby feels like best.

[@eddie81540]

Para mí el Clyde es el mejor de todos pero el Bad horsie puede ser para otros estilos.

[@MrDadyblues]

Voc has more organic spots then others

[@edwither8284]

Vox

[@circedge]

It's nice that everyone has their own take on it, but everything else sounds like a bad clone of the Dunlop to me.

[@lucasmuraro9985]

Actually the 1st wah ever was a Vox!

[@circedge]

@@lucasmuraro9985 Oh. Well they should have built a timemachine and cloned the Dunlop.

[@Samana009]

The Morley Bad Horse has the same problem than their volume pedals. It's sweeping is abrupt. The worst of all the pedals here. The funny thing is it could be the best one, because do not use a pot but light.

[@brettrossi89]

The wha pedal is something of the past. Rip wha wha
