Wah Shoot Out: Dunlop EVH vs Custom Audio Electronics Wah

[@scottiev77]

regardless of the sound... the EVH has the most satisfying CLICK out of any wah I've tried.

[@mr65plexi]

This is how product comparisons should be done excellent, I think the CAE takes this one more character in the tone, nice job.

[@SixStringHarmonies]

CAE/MXR MC404 Wah is flat out the best Wah ever mass produced. Amazing

[@alexc2680]

EVH!! Yet, if you're a good player with a well set up guitar and tasty tube amp, you can make most WAH's sound good. I do like this comparison and it's super useful video. THX!!

[@tomthumb4325]

Totally agree I've been playing in bands for 40 years I've tried and owned many many pedals over the years especially overdrives I describe them as just different flavours of tone but very similar flavours that most people wouldn't be able to tell the difference in a mix as for wah pedals let's be honest they only get used sparingly in songs so buy yourself one that fits your budget I've been using a Hellbabe wah for a while now very cheap wah but it has a boost option that's great for solos again no one has told me my wah tone sucks you are spot on if your core tone and playing isn't there no pedal can help you

[@skeletalwreck]

It should also be noted that the CAE has internal pots for "Q" and gain adjustments. Extremely flexible.

[@CarvinTone]

The CAE is the best wah you are going to find. I've been through so many that either sounded good clean or high gain but this one sounds great no matter what you ware looking for.

[@davebelknap3220]

Thank you. This is exactly what I needs to hear. I've owned a CAE before and it gets the sound I want.

[@azguitar]

Great demo of two fantastic wah pedals.

[@organs]

Maybe it's me, but the EVH seems to either have a wider sweep or it is indeed brighter than the CAE (yellow Fasel). I like a little more warmth in a wah. It's hard to judge which of these two I like more.

[@PeterChunmusic]

wow i think im gonna buy the cae wah DUDE ITS SICK WITH DUAL FASELS!

[@JeffreySmithMusic]

Hi Stratoboy Both wah's are 9V powered. You can use a battery or a power adapter with a negative tip.

[@ricebowlranch]

WOW thanks! i've been trying to decide between these tow, but since they're so new, there hasn't really been any feedback about them on the web. i figure that i can't go wrong with either one, since both are excellent, but i did have a bad experience with a crybaby standard: the switch broke after about a year and a half.

[@Apprentice_of_the_Leonine]

I have a Slash wah and it has a very dark tone due to the Fasel inductor. I have wanted an EVH wah to get a brighter sound, but I still haven't scraped up $169.99.

[@impala666]

The EVH has a little more spank and the CAE has more fatness and vowely sounds. They both sound great. Wonder how the CAE does with fuzz?

[@fdscarlos9355]

EVH WINS CERTAINLY

[@SurfGreenTelecaster]

I actually prefer the EVH here, seems throatier and has more quack and character. I had a CAE for a while and wanted to like it, but it somehow wasn't appealing to my ears. Great demo!

[@fritzempit]

@riffs66 i do agree with U, but i just wish if the CAE have wider range like EVH ...correct me if im wrong, or just because the EVH have more treble?

[@JeffreySmithMusic]

@JeanEstienne: I think it was an American Deluxe Strat, rosewood neck

[@mckay91095]

CAE ftw. No contest, cae wah is fantastic

[@ethanrobert45]

Got to looking what modern day wah has the best vintage sound. Turns out Kenny Wayne Shepard uses the CAE. He even has an original vox Clyde McCoy wah from the 60’s !

[@DRAGONIRONFIST]

@JeffreySmithMusic so which do you tink is better????

[@PanekAttack]

I have a Crybaby 535Q. I have been trying to make it sound like EVH's wah for a long time but I cant get it to sound right. What settings do you recommend for the 535Q?

[@Sean2592]

EVH uses a wah pedal a lot in Unlawful Carnal Knowledge. i know there's song he uses it vocally to back up dave or sammy? anyone know what song that is?

[@AndreasCordesMusic]

really nice video. very helpfull. both sound great. very vocal-like. but the CAE is my favorite. thanx

[@liutallica]

What is the button you click on at 1:40?

[@ChetZenor]

@InspiredProphecy definitely, its really versatile

[@Atreyu600]

Although the CAE doesnt sound as bright as the EVH, the cae can be change to get that sound ur lookin for, it is much more versitile whether ur playin a solo or some rythm thing, but if ur just gonna play nothing but solos go for the evh

[@ericpresley7527]

Josh Weimann Yes you right its not as bright and thank god for that treble is the enemy just ask Eric Johnson.

[@maxsalasr]

CAE sounds better, more musical and usable, the other is brighter but lacks something... maybe eats some of the guitar pure signal... dunno. I much prefer the CAE

[@cristiannarea9102]

I have the first Q535 wearing the incredible sounds Satriani and not change it for anything! Q535 saw the new specifications that are different. Spanihs cool!

[@JeanEstienne]

With what kind of Stratocaster play you?

[@HiggsFenderU2]

I think EDDIE'S IS BRIGHTER BECAUSE IT HAS A 150K ohm potentiometer, which gives more of a sweep especially at the treble end. But I don't know much about CAE Wahs. maybe it does too.. Matt.

[@Foghat1961]

Good demo. CAE for me!

[@marcuscameron8274]

what guitar were you playing?

[@JCDime]

Anybody could give me the standard setting factoy for the both Q and gain please ?

[@Nimrod9458]

The EVH wah gives out a little more distortion and is brighter.

[@ericpresley7527]

Ramin Zandi Yes and that sucks.

[@JeanEstienne]

@JeffreySmithMusic Thanks ;-)

[@VanHalenfreak9]

if ur just running the evh wah, and u have a distorted sound on ur amp, will the wah be distorted, or will it be clean unless u have a distortion pedal before it in the loop? (i dont have an effects loop, im just running through the front of the amp)

[@evelasq1]

Nice demo! Peace, Flood!

[@angrytroll27]

If ya wah is only used for funk like everyone seems to demo a wah, does that mean that a phaser can only be used to play van halen songs??

[@hittingnote75]

Since about 1991

[@arkee71]

@skurtix he didnt say vintage crybaby he said vintage wah in that case youd be talkin vox thats what hendrix used and he used the clyde version so i dont think you know what your talkin about fulltone clyde if you wanna sound like hendrix

[@InsideTheSound]

great demo man thnx

[@riffs66]

The EVH lacks the personality of the CAE. There's a few more "vowels" in that puppy (the CAE) that the other. Just my opinion. And since when is VH a wah guy, really?

[@JeffreySmithMusic]

Switching to the red fasel

[@cristiannarea9102]

Tengo el primer q535 el que usaba Satriani y suena increible no lo cambio por nada! los nuevos q535 vi en las especificaciones que son distintos

[@xRAKDOZx]

the cae seems cooler and more versatile but i still prefer my Ibanez WH10V2

[@mckay91095]

CAE is MUCH better. such versatility in a pedal, plus you have two indictors and internal trem pots for the Q control

[@ouija1324]

dabacubalala whiskey in the jar!!! you rock!!

[@abutomatto]

CAE wins!! I think

[@pabloramirez716]

Evh has greater sweep 150 degrees vs Cae 100 degrees. Plus--- EVH IS GOD

[@pelayorock]

the idea is good, but the audio quality....

[@poplepo3]

hahaha like most of this vid sounds like porn music its hillerious but good demo man it really helps i prefur the cae more though

[@danangkertasari]

I buy cae 404 thanks

[@TheTinMan123]

Mmmmmmmm Hendrix Rocks

[@fasionroadkill]

I'll sell anybody that wants the EVH wah my used one cheap

[@MrKarim989]

RMC 10wins

[@mr.astrophysics9115]

Evh by a country mile

[@MorningwoodProductio]

Put Either up to a Fulltone Clyde Deluxe and they'll get smoked. At least if you're into vintage wah tone.

[@PanekAttack]

English dude!
