here's a collage of several different wahs: top logo crybaby(w/halo inductor), top logo vox king wah (w/ trash can inductor), early crybaby (w/ blank bottom plate and small gold serial # sitcker, and trash can), cry baby (trash can), cry baby (w/stack of dimes on a small board), maestro BG-1, maestro BG-2, 72 colorsound, new D*A*M/castledine/colorsound wow fuzz..... all done clean then with a head buzz in front..... same signal chain too: 59' les paul special and the series 2000 into newer marshall 4x12 miced with an older beta 57 and a vintage white MD421 into pro tools.....

very cool. i am only halfway in, but so far i like the fifth crybaby (SOD). was more squishy. where did that bg1 come from? i only know of about 5 or 6 existing. damn!

the bg1 has that low mid resonance and full body overall. the treble isn't piercing, toe down is almost like normal guitar tone.

I think I officially ran out of funky wah licks by the end of that! The small board crybaby and the BG-1 were my favs!

redeye, the licks were perfect!
the bg2 is really nice. if i had not heard the bg1 first i would say one of the best of the lot.

the colorsounds are great! kudos to stu for capturing the voicing of the original, sounds very very close. i can see why people liked the colorsounds, the had a lower voice than vox CB as far as i can tell. makes for a very expressive sweep.

yeah i was lucky and found a nice BG-2 with a good pot.... definitely has a nice kick when the volume pedal function is engaged..... i also got that BG-1 fairly recently.... came up as a BIN on ebay and i pounced quickly!!! i don't think paid over $300 for it either!

ohh the green eyed monster is raising its ugly head deep deep inside me over those boomerangs... but on the surface i am feigning happiness for you at such a prize ebay find ;)

Awesome vid BTW!!!

wow. i have maestro boomerang, bg1, bg2 etc as permanent searches on ebay. but i missed that one. glad you found a bg1 reasonably cheap. i think we paid 280 for ours ( last minute manual snipe), and the one that sold a month before ours , march 2010, sold for approx 300. zac and i have a blood brother pact to never sell ours for less than 1K. nary a solder joint has ever been sullied.

all that said, that is the most impressive collection of wahs i have ever seen in one video, by a long shot.

hey joe, yeah mines in pretty stelllar condition... just a small chip on the front and a scratch or two on the left side..... so is that pot original? it's so tiny, i'm guessing it is 'cause the joints look untouched..... not sure what's up with the ampeg sticker on the bottom either....

all but the top logo king wah are mine too!!
