Any suggestions for a good, cheap wah wah pedal? I got the rp 80 for christmas and was psyched about the wah wah and was pretty disappointed. I'm a college kid so I have little money but what are some good pedals that run for cheap?

    I have a basic Crybaby and it's never failed me.
    Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V

    Boss V wah. Fairly cheap, versatile.

    or I'll sell you my Morley Bad Horsie super cheap :D

    I need to send you a photo, I just got the last of the LE Supr Quack's from Scotty. 60's Vox with his mods, the same wah as Robinson, McCoy and some buddies, the thing is sick. I should send it to Mike as I am far from worthy.

    I really enjoy the vox and it's worth every extra cent you save especially if you ever play a tube amp. Very watery sound and it keep it range and volume better then the cry baby in my opinion!

    no catch. There's absolutely nothing wrong with it, I just need a different style. I've had it 5 years or so. See J of Z's post. I'm just looking for a different Wah tone.

    i tried the vox and found the sweep to be to drastic. and the pedal floored is like an ice pick. waaay to harsh. not sure if they are making them adjustable now or what but....

    i like the cry baby wahs. the sweep is not as drastic and you can floor the wah without stabbing your ear drum with an ice pick. frank zappa used to use the cry baby as a part of his tone. he would leave the pedal on pushed half way down to get a certain tone. try doing that with a vox. no thanks!!

    I have MOrley BAd Horsie, I like that it is switchless, just leave it sit there til you need it, then stand on it, no tap dancing required.
    I think Dunlop do some switchless ones as well.
    The bad horsei 2 has more adjustability
    Music is not a competetion.

    I'm supposed to get an original Crybaby for my b-day in a month or so. I've also been considering the Expression Factory, since for $200 it comes with emulations of the Crybaby and Vox, along with some other goodies like the Whammy. Any thoughts?
    Statistically speaking, you're more likely to be pitied by Mr. T than you are to have feet.
