Cannot be beaten for the price. Sounds better than a Crybaby to me and virtually identical quality.
Great price.

Source Audio SA101 Hot Hand Wah Filter w/ Custom Carry Case Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Product: Source Audio Hothand Wah/Filter
Price Paid: USD 299
Submitted 08/09/2007 at 04:39pm by Charles G
Ease of Use : 10
Very easy to get a good sound - I was confused at first but after 5 - 10 minutes I had it sussed out. Editing patches is simple - just use the 3 knobs (frequency, effect and Motion) and you're there.
Manual is short and sweet - I don't even want to open manuals, so it's got to be to the point for me.
Sound Quality : 10
I tried to get a nice Mick Ronson wah tone, and it was right there. Use a high frequency with the classic wah setting, with some classic gain, and it made me happy. Not noisy at all - can't live with noisy effects. Also, it didn't cause a drop in volume in my amps, which is very nice. The wireless ring (used to control the amount of effect on your strumming hand) was simple to use, and you absolutely do not have to use exaggerated hand movements to get the most from this unit. In fact, I like the Motion knob set to "flail", so it's quite subtle, and the pulses react to your picks/strums.
Reliability : 10
Oh yeah - I have played with bands and recorded without a backup - it's really solid.
Customer Support : 8
Haven't dealt with them - no problems at all. I got it after seeing the review on Guitar Player TV website, which led me to the Source Audio MySpace page and website.
Overall Rating : 10
Been playing 20 years. Rock, some jazz, acoustic, songwriting, etc. I have 5 guitars (Anderson, Ibanez Artist, Godin, Rickenbacker, Fender bass) and a few great amps (Mojave, Boogie). I really like this unit - why? It's an innovation. Unlike pretty much all the other stuff out there for wah sounds. I really hope this company make some more effects pedals as well - we need new ideas in the world of pedals.

Our guitar-playing son, who's 26, absolutely LOVES this effect pedal. He uses it all the time, so I rank this high on his list of favorite Christmas gifts of all time.

The VOX V847 Wah-Wah pedal is an enhanced version of the most famous guitar effects pedal of all time.Based on the specifications of the original pedal developed by VOX in the '60s, the new Wah-Wah offers guitarists the same legendary tone with the addition of AC power capability and a buffered input jack for preserving the unprocessed guitar tone when the pedal is not engaged. The pedal\'s inductor has undergone a redesign to be closer in specification to the original VOX wah inductors, for improved dynamics and tone. These additions will benefit players of all genres who use a wah pedal as an integral part of their sound.VOX developed the world\'s first Wah-Wah effect during the '60s in an effort to allow guitarists to emulate the sound of a trumpet being muted — an important musical ingredient of the day. VOX\'s original Wah-Wah pedal quickly gained widespread popularity and its unique sonic characteristics have encouraged further experimentation by guitarists ever since. Having made spotlight appearances on some of the most famous recordings of all time, the Wah-Wah is still considered \'must-have equipment" for guitar players of all levels and abilities today.

I have only been playing bass for about 3-months. I wanted to play slap bass and get more funk sound, and this devise is just the ticket. It has great sound, is very easy to use and is very well constructed. You can not use it for all your musck, but if you want a sound from the 70's, then this Bass Wah is a good start.

Mod Tone Funk Filter Enveloper Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I had high expecations for this cool little pedal but it did not live up to them. It has all the same controls as the Electro-Harmonix Micro Q-Tron, so I was thinking it would be very similar to a Micro Q-Tron in a smaller (cooler looking) box, or maybe even better. I actually liked the Q-Tron much better-- and I'm not super crazy about the Q-Tron.
The frequencies chosen for the various filter settings are just not very musical or usuable. It's either too thin and quacky, or too deep and muddy.
ModTone is making some good attempts but this one hasnt hit the mark yet.

The ModTone MT-FF Funk Filter is a true bypass boutique style pedal that recreates vintage envelope or auto-wah type effects. High pass, Mid Pass and Low Pass settings can be used in conjunction with the F-Factor control and Drive settings to deliver a wide range of exciting tones that work great on clean or distorted signals. The Funk Filter\'s reaction can also be changed by simply backing off your guitar\'s volume knob to find the \'sweet spot" and can also change depending if bridge or neck pickups are selected.

Dunlop 535Q Multi-Wah Crybaby Pedal Review

Dunlop 535Q Multi-Wah Crybaby Pedal
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The ability to quickly change the range and sensitivity has made it easy to dial in the exact sound you want to hear. It's built like a tank and has worked flawlessly in the time I've had it. Since I normally power it with a wall wart, I don't have much of an opinion about battery life.
Bottom Line: It costs a bit more than the standard Dunlop wah pedals, it's worth it.

Click Here to see more reviews about: Dunlop 535Q Multi-Wah Crybaby Pedal

The Crybaby 535Q is the Swiss Army knife of wah pedals. It provides control over the most important wah parameters, making it easy for you to create your ultimate wah tone. This is the wah pedal of choice for guitar master Joe Satriani.

Wah Range Selector The Wah Range Selector knob is located on the side of the 535Q pedal. It allows you to select a tonal range that is best suited for your expression needs. Turn the knob clockwise for the lower register ranges and counter-clockwise for the higher ranges.
Volume Control By turning the Volume Control knob located on the left side of the pedal, you control the amount of gain. Turning the knob clockwise will increase your gain to up to 16dB. Turning the knob counter-clockwise will decrease your gain to 0dB, or normal throughput.
Variable Q The "Q" adjustment is also located on the left side of the pedal; you can control the sharpness of the bandpass with this adjustment. High Q is a very selective bandpass filter, low Q is a very broad bandpass filter approaching an almost volume-like control. The lower Q settings have more musical quality and don't effect tone as much as the high Q settings.
Solid Construction The CRYBABY 535Q features a heavy, die-cast construction, for a road-ready wah pedal that'll provide years of reliability.
Powering Options Power the CRYBABY with a 9-volt battery, or grab an optional Dunlop ECB-003 AC Adapter for powering via outlet.
One-Year Warranty Dunlop provides extra peace of mind by offering a one-year warranty from date of purchase.

Great warm clean, with rich lows and tight highs. I play with a couple of Seymour Duncan Blackouts, so overdrive was the big test for me, and this speaker shines. The bass punches without being muddy, and tapping out highs are articulate and bright. Got this as a replacement for my stock 12" in my Marshall MG100DFX.

This is the standard wah. This thing sounds great! There are a lot of wah pedals with a wider range out there but if you are looking for the traditional wah sound, this is the way to go. No other company has sucessfully replicated THIS sound. Other wahs are cool because of additional features and for their own affect (yes that is the spelling I intended). I gave this a 4 for the lack of features. If you buy this, a try adjusting the pot (read the instructions). Most people do not know about this feature but you can really change the voicing of this wah wah.

When people talk about wah pedals, they're talking about the Crybaby. This is the original--the one that created some of the most timeless sounds in rock.

The Original Wah The CRYBABY has been a standard in the world of music since its introduction in the late 1960's. Its rugged construction and efficient design have graced the foot of Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Buddy Guy, David Gilmour, and many other guitar greats.
Wah Versatility By rocking your foot back and forth on the pedal, you can change the effect that the CRYBABY has on the tone of your instrument instantaneously. Toe down will give you more treble, heel down will give you more bass. The speed and amount of effect you use depends on your style of playing.
When placing the pedal in one position, you will hear a boost in that particular frequency. This boost can be used to add sustain and create feedback of a desired overtone.
Solid Construction The CRYBABY features a heavy, die-cast construction, for a road-ready wah pedal that'll provide years of reliability.
Hot Potz Potentiometer The original CRYBABY boasts a 100K ohm Hot Potz potentiometer, built to last and providing you with a quick, abrupt wah sound.
Powering Options Power the CRYBABY with a 9-volt battery, or grab an optional Dunlop ECB-003 AC Adapter for powering via outlet.

Average Reviews:

I rarely write reviews on anything and the only reason why I am writing this is because I feel the need to give recognition for all this pedal has brought me. I would refuse to play guitar without it, its that simple. you can pretty much create any sound you want and i would consider the whammy pedal just as important as my guitar. its easy to use, and extremely worth it, dont second guess here, put up the money trust me its worth it. Ive been playing with it for over a year now and even if all I had was $200 to my name, id still spend every last penny on this pedal.

Behringer HB01 Guitar Wah Effect Pedal Review

Average Reviews:

Sometimes you get more than what you paid for. This is one of those times. I choose the Hellbabe HB0l for it features and mainly for the price. I was very surprised at the range of Wah sounds produced by this pedal. you can shape the Wah sound to what ever sound your after nice Sweep. I also have The Original Dunlop Crybaby, Let me tell you this was 2x more expensive and it sucks. It sucks your tone out of your guitar, It is so noisy. By comparison the Hellbabe is a better investment.

The HELL-BABE HB01 wah is a pleasure to stomp on, offering a tremendous array of tone-sculpting options. You get everything from "old-school" wah to the most up-to-date sounds, all in one wah pedal. The HELL-BABE will add new dimension and depth to your artistic expression.

What's So Great About the HELL-BABE? First of all, this monster's heel-down RANGE control provides low frequency adjustment that can be swept from 440 Hz down to 250 Hz, making the HB01 the ideal companion for either guitar or bass. For custom-tailoring the toe-down frequency range, the HELL-BABE features a FINE control, allowing you to adjust the frequency sweep as high as 2.2 kHz.
Volume Boost Dial in a powerful volume BOOST (up to +15 dB), so that when you do step on the HB01, your guitar jumps to the top of the mix. A highly versatile Q control is provided for precise filter shaping and for achieving vocal-like effects.
No-Nonsense Build Quality Unlike a lot of wahs on the market, the HELL-BABE uses no mechanical pots or switches, which significantly reduces wear and tear. But that's not all that separates this pedal from the pack; it also features a spring-back pedal mechanism with resistance adjustment. And thanks to Behringer's ultra-bright LED indicators you'll always know when it's on and when the volume boost is activated. You can power this bad boy with a 9V battery or the PSU-SB DC power supply (not included).
