Crybaby Vs Fulltone Vs Ernie Ball - The Wah Wah Showdown.

Ryan from our Blackburn store takes 3 popular Wah pedals and puts them head to head in this funky showdown. Like us on facebook for more info on music gear.

someone who was considerate enough to play the exact same riff across all three pedals so we can actually discern differences in the pedals for a fair comparison!! Thank you thank you

[HeadHondo]

Clyde wins for me. It has that sweet vocal midrange that is really going to cut through the mix. Oh and true bypass is important if you have a lot of cable or pedals.

[Jalpow]

Awesome demo, thanks for that. I remember playing that strat the other day!

[rossjohnson]

Clyde is the clear winner. Though the Ernie Ball sounded pretty good on just a clean tone, had a bit more compression and pop for funk stuff.

The Fulltone Clyde crushes them all....true bypass, potentiometer, 3 diff settings, built like a friggin tank. Ive had crybabys and voxes and they aren't in the same class.

I have all 3 and the Ernie Ball is the one on my board right now, it's a very practical pedal.

The cool thing about the Mu-Tron C200: the wah effect that this pedal has is very unique because it uses a photo-electric sensor to control the wah rather than just a pot, which most wah's use, meaning that it doesn't get scratchy or wear out like normal pots do. This wah has a very funky/vocal sound. Another interesting thing about this pedal is that it has a trim pot on the side that allows you to control the overall volume of the pedal, making its output go from really quiet to insanely hot. Why can't you build a C200 of the 21st century Ernie Ball, Dunlop, Vox et all…?

Fulltone Clyde seemed to have a much wider range of frequencies than the other two.

[TMoody]

The Ernie Ball lights an ABSOLUTE must for me.

Clyde sounds great. I use the CB classic with gain but the Vox rules with clean tones IMO.

very love demo, get greetings from omes Indonesia

@06mgibson do you mean songs like rain song? i would rather use an eq pedal to get single coil tones out of humbuckers, but anyway it sounds cool, i got rid of the crybaby so right now I can't try it myself...

[JCCShred]

Whoa, love the amp! Nice tone and everything.
I would probably go with the crybaby.

[fulltonesmusic]

My experience, it all depends on the guitar/rig you're using the particular wah pedal with.

[danielludmerer]

To me Wah pedals is about feel. They all sound a lot alike. But that it feels as you rock it is everything.

Good video. Swapped my Cry Baby for a Snarling Dogs wah. Great, great stuff. Check one out if you get the chance. If I had to pick between one of these presented (Reverend Warhawk II HBs, Nashville Tele, through an Ampeg head, a bit of gain), I'd take my Cry Baby back. Can get a version of that tone on the Snarling Dogs, sorta. The Ernie Ball is cool too. Li'l "narstier".

[ThirdEyeEnlightment]

Hendrix, Clapton, and Gilmore used Dunlop Cry Baby and thats good enough for me to choose that one everytime!

On clean the FT sounds real nice and wider, but with the distortion Cry Baby sounds like heaven, there is something I could describe as a "curve" of sound the FT lacks compared to the CB =( .Both are quite good but my choice would be the Cry Baby <3

[charleshoernemann]

Hmmm…it's very personal indeed. They all sound a bit different, but not hugely! I think I'll stick with my 70s Mu-Tron volume wah. A pity they don't make them anymore…nice playing btw Ryan! 

[snowbeer]

im just curious. how it will sound if he used it all together at the same time?
