    Looking into getting a wah pedal at the moment. Any suggestions on the best one?
    Dunlop would appear to be the kings. The Crybaby 535Q an JH-1 seem to be good models. Opinion in ibanez's weeping demon seem to be mixed. :confused:

    (It would have to be true bypass too, wouldn't want anything leaching tone from my eggle. :D )

    You certainly would not. I own an eggle too. Its a L.A. Pro (or might be Plus.... :rolleyes: ). Lovely guitar. What do you own eggle-wise. Fulltone and RMC make really good wahs apparantly. I haven't tried them out but sound clips are promising enough. Some dunlpos have a woefull bypass which can be modded to true bypass. This is a pretty good idea if already own one but if you want a T.B. pedal your best to go out and buy one with T.B. to begin with.

    I dont know if dunlop do a true bypass wah. There standard models are definately not. Morley wahs are quite different to dunlops. what type of a wah sound are you going for ....hendrix/cream, Shaft/Funk or modern sound like Vai etc. For the older sounds I would reccommend fulltone, from the sound samples I have heard. For the funk stuff Snarling Dogs wahs are pretty good. For the modern stuff Morley do tremonti and Vai signatures. RMC do wahs for all sorts of sounds. I think That something like this would be perfect for most applications. Pricy but really good quality.

    You could get a really good deal on this, depending on how the bidding pans out. They dont cost ALL that much to ship either. Around €25 I'd imagine...?

    Well good luck anyway.

    Seriously can't go wrong with the Bad Horsie for sharper wah sounds but the Voxes are brilliant for classic wah sounds. The BH is true bypass; don't know about the Voxes though.

    I'd be looking more for an Adam Jones type sound. (As far as i know he uses a dunlop 535Q). Or maybe Sully Erna.
    In fairness Tremonti does have a pretty good sound, despite the cheesiness.
    I'd be avoiding Vai like the plague.
