Hello Paul and thank you for an awesome video! I showed it to a coworker and both her and I now understand more in depth how a wah pedal works. You’re always so clear and calm and instructive. Keep it up!

I remember 40 years ago when my Brother had His Stratocaster and an Orange Amp and a Fuzz-Wah-Diddy Pedal, Thanks for reminding me, now I will have to by one, I forgot how fun it is!!

Great content...it's impressive how your channel has improved my music knowledge and kept me working... keep on posting...by far, this is the best music channel on KZread. Thanks

Excellent short intro to the possibilities of the pedal. I especially like the beginning with your demonstration of the effect of the pedal on sound, understanding the principle behind the effect makes it easier for me to experiment. Great video!

John Frusciante has the best wah sound IMO, especially the way he uses it during improvised solos live (also there is a really cool guitar lesson session with him, where he showcases it in an epic solo). Actually I think less is often more with the wah. For example I really like Jimi turning it on for a solo and then leave it, just to kick the sound. Electric funeral is a great example for a dark sound. Voodoo childe is the climax of wah history.

My fave technique is to solo with a half-cocked wah in a fixed position. Funky frequency sweeps freak too many people out at my church. Lol. Another great vid. Thanks Paul!

I guess you can think of this as a manually controlled modulation type pedal like a flanger or phaser. It does the same thing to the frequency spectrum, except now the sweep is controlled by your foot instead of an LFO.

Not a modulation but a filter. It is a manual filter and works different from a phaser

Recently learned about the "cocked wah" technique, basically staying in a static position on the wah to hone in on a certain tone, as used by Mark Knopfler a la Dire Straits in Money for Nothing, STP on Vasoline, and many more. I always wanted to know how they obtained that tone, now I know! B.t.w Paul you look absolutely thrilled to be doing a video on wah ;)

I LOVE that you included Glory Box; underrated song by an underrated band.

Excellent demonstration. The only thing missing was the 'cocked wah' or 'parked wah' technique characteristic of players like Mick Ronson, who used the wah set to a particular position purely as a filter, to emphasise a particular section of the mids. There are now pedals dedicated to reproducing these static sounds, but at the time 'parking' a wah was the only way to do it.

Do you have a source on that, because that doesn't sound right. The sweep movement is much too smooth for a pickup selector with only 5 states (like on a strat), besides, the filtering from a wah creates a peak whereas switching pickup positions produce a more shelf like shape.
