New Pedal(s) day

[Rickgrxbass]

Vai is able to execute the normal sounding wah moves at least - I wonder if he's really playing a Morley? :evil4:

I can't help but wonder this about a lot of paid endorsees.  Obviously they have to perform with the freebies, but your live sound isn't going to match your studio sound anyway...

Wah - 1:36

EOD.  :headbang: :guitaristgif:

AT and Vai are pretty similar in how they use the wah

 

[DangerousR6]

I like these better than a wah....

They are much more expressive. Works well in that tune, too.

Not really, the sig wah pedals are all between $139-$159, with the Cantrell being the most expensive. The Dunlop heli talk box is $170.... :icon_biggrin:

I know I'd rather have the Cantrell unit. I'm not crazy about any effect I'd have to put my mouth on. Even if nobody ever touched it, your mouth is filthier than your ass, so why would you ever gobble the thing twice? It's just gross.

You could always hook it up backwards then.  Benefits: It would stay cleaner than if you put it in your mouth, your friends will refuse to touch it, it might get some interesting sounds after certain meals. 

Joking, of course.

Additional benefit: helps achieve the legendary Eddie Van Halen "brown sound."

I'm done now.

Hehe! You guys are too funny.

Speaking of tubes up the ass, though...

A couple years ago I had pneumonia so severe that they figured I had about 24 hours to live, and actually gave me last rites. Once they convinced one of my brothers how far gone I was and got permission to cut me up, I ended up having much of my right lung removed. You oughta see my neck and torso - looks like somebody did an autopsy with a chainsaw while somebody else stabbed me repeatedly <grin>

Anyway, amongst the many tubes and wires they brought to bear to keep me alive after Dr. Mengele had his way with me were one up my ass, one up my schwanz, and one punched into my stomach to feed me. There were many others, but for some reason those are the ones I remember. They had to keep me in restraints because even though I was drugged out of my mind, I kept trying to pull these various tubes and wires out/off. Drove the nurses nuts, because all the devices have alarms on them to let people know if something isn't working. Miserable stuff.

On the plus side, those hospital guys have the best drugs. Between those and hypoxia, Hollywood ain't got nothing on your brain's ability to concoct wild scenarios that are so real, you'd swear to Christ and all that's holy that they actually happened <grin> I mean, it's nothing like dreams or nightmares - it's as real as real can be. Downside is, sometimes your imagination can be a cruel thing, and the terror is just heart-stopping and sweat-popping.

 

[Nightclub Dwight]

Wow, that goes way beyond my stupid joke.  I hope I didn't offend you considering what you've been through.

I've been in dire medical situations--though not as bad as yours--and you are right about the way the brain concocts all sorts of strange scenarios to explain the trauma happening.  Its a shame one can't even enjoy those industrial strength drugs in such a situation, as you are too busy just fighting for your life.

Glad you're still with us.

 

[Cagey]

No, no offense taken at all. I probably shouldn't have brought it up, but I just got reminded of it. I look back on it now and laugh, but it was some serious business. My family is constantly amazed at my luck in surviving such things, or getting the jobs I've had, or any number of other things that would wreck a lot of people. My mother likes to say I'm the only person she's ever known who could fall into a septic tank and come out with a new suit <grin>

 

[jay4321]

Wait, $160 for the Cantrell wah? That's not indie at all man lol

Checking out the Crybaby 95Q though. Still a good ways more than the OCB but seems to have similar features.

 

[dmraco]

I also just picked up a ModTone Wah for my son.  Very nice indeed.  A little to much on the high end toe down but still nice.  I think it sounds better than the VOX and other standard crybabys...$59.

I still prefer my Cantrell...even if it cost $100 more.

With one of those tubes, you could have said......owe,owe....owe,owe,owe....owe,owe,owe,owe-owe.... :binkybaby:


I'm sure it wasn't funny at the time, but hey, if I doesn't kill us it makes us stronger  right....:dontknow:

 

[richship]

Picked up a used Morley Pro Series II Wah the other day and am pretty happy with it. It has a longer sweep than I remember with the Crybaby. It also has the side switch so you don't have to go through the highs to turn it on or off and you can leave it at a nice notch.
