I've had my 535Q since the mid~ish 90's and it's still a tank. I originally bought it because it was Adam Jones' wah of choice for the Aenma album.

I really hate guitar players doing comparisons. They play different riffs on each pedal to show how cool and versatile they are instead of doing exactly the same thing on each pedal so we can tell what the dang pedals can do. As a scientist and former loud speaker driver engineer, I would record a suitable riff/tune/sample (whatever you want to call it) and then run the exact same recording through each pedal so you could compare apples to apples. No extra effects like echo or fuzz added to confuse the issue. This is not aimed at this particular presenter; I have been watching comparison videos all day and NONE of the guitar players even tried to play the same tune on each pedal. I have wasted hours on useless "comparisons" that don't compare.

Excellent demo, great descriptions/history, and playing

My favorite one is the Bass wah, killer tone

[Nightpick]

We need a side by side comparison of these signature models: Jerry Cantrell, Slash, Van Halen, Dimebag, Kirk Hammett, and Zakk Wylde. Thanks.

This is a proper demo thank you . I almost stopped watching when you did the Hendrix Wah with distortion only . I can add any of my 20 gain and fizz pedals you have to test a wah semi clean to get a feel for what it is actually doing

Totally enjoy THIS GUY!!! “I’m not a scientist... but I play one on TV”!!!🤣🤣🤣 Seriously though he REALLY did help & we had fun learning!!! Thanks!!!

[Mr.Goldbar]

Would love to hear the bass wah in a funk guitar concept :)

Sweetwater or Dunlop: please do a more in depth demo of the bass wah w/ guitar.

Why Did You Steal Kirk Hammett's Pedalboard?

[irishmickeybambrick]

Switched to the bass wah years ago. Game changer

[richardriddick]

Thanks for this video. Never understood why there were so many wahs. Now I know I want a Hendrix wah.

[carlosrodriguez-rjtj]

That bass wah sounds absolutely atrocious...in a good way \m/

[contactaraya]

the third one is killer man, hope to have somebody work the mode switch as I play to make it even wahkier!

I used to own the early JH-1 wah and I believe its tone is superior to the later models. It looked just like a normal GCB-95 aside for the front nameplate that said Jimi Hendrix Original Thomas Design. People should try to scoop that model up, prob runs cheap and is still easy to mod.I also own (and still use) an older model 535Q (takes two 9V batt / no side switches) that sounds fantastic and has survived hundreds of hours of gigs. Though it takes two batteries, you could still run it on a 9v power source...maybe cuts the headroom a tad but nothing too obvious.My point: GET THE OLDER, WELL USED MODELS! The only real caveat is the fact most of them have buffers but that is a good thing if you run a long effects chain or have a fuzz going first.
