If I ever decide to go auto-wah, then the Mad Professor Snow White would be my choice, other interesting wah alternatives include the mini Mooer Wahter Wah and the AMT WH-1 Wah.ģ : BOOSTER (Utility) : Xotic EP Booster Alchemy Audio Mod I quite like the look of the Wilson Effects Mini Q-Wah which looks to provide some extra features over the CryBaby, and also the forthcoming DigiTech FreqOut - which I would alternate in this slot. Would be cool to see a more traditional sounding wah effect in a DigiTech momentary button style! I initially thought that doing the rocker motion with the foot would be too much of an inconvenience, but I actually quite like it, and I love the effects you can produce. So now this slot is occupied with the wonderful Crybaby Mini whose tone I love.
I actually started off here with the Digitech Whammy Ricochet which is a great pedal in its own right - but is more suitable for Tom Morello style pitch shifting acrobatics, and does not really approximate wah style tones. Many pros also have a preference for the Boss TU-3 and the Peterson Stomp Classic.Ģ : WAH (Modulation) : Dunlop Crybaby Mini Wah Had I not gone for the PolyTune 2, I might have selected the Sonic Research ST-300 Mini or Korg Pitchblack Poly. LEDs are bright, but could be brighter still, but all in all this is a great tuner which I don’t see myself swapping out any time soon.

Note - for Settings o’c = o’clock, where dials are viewed as clock facesġ : TUNER (Utility) : TC Electronic PolyTune 2 Noir Ī very popular small tuner - found on numerous pro pedalboards - gives you a quick overview of all strings simultaneously from one strum - to get you tuned up just that little bit quicker. I am hoping that Strymon produces a big style presets pedal for multiple overdrives and distortions - a la BigSky / TimeLine - that will then allow me to shorten / swap out the chain somewhat, as it stands currently it is sound-wise at least nigh on perfect. The overwhelming significance here is the number of overdrive / fuzz / distortion pedals - which amazingly all produce different high quality sounds. There are 25 in the above picture, I also have a Dunlop Volume (X) Mini which I use as an expression pedal for a variety of those 25.
I’m going to live with this particular arrangement for a while now - until I’ve wrung every last possible sound from every single one of these pedals. A lot of the time you can sacrifice certain qualities for size, but definitely not for the small pedals I have ended up with - each and every one of them sounds amazing and easily the equal of their bigger siblings. I quite like the smaller pedals, but will not sacrifice sound quality for footprint or versatility, The ideal pedal is one with alternative voices and in a fairly small package - I do try to stear clear of the really big vintage-type pedals - and if I can get away with a smaller form factor - so much the better.
My key considerations here include usefulness, versatility and footprint, but the overwhelming factor is one of sound quality / tone.
The whole signal chain goes into the front of both amps with effects split in stereo - and the Mimiq Doubler further enhancing the soundstage separation. My guitar of choice is my PRS Classic Electric, preferred pick is a Hawk TB7, Wireless Line 6 G-10, and all goes into a stereo amp rig with Boss Katana 100 on left channel and Carvin V3MC on the right.

It possibly goes a little broader and deeper than some - but generates largely mainstream sounds - covering the whole gamut of genres from barely their breakup warmth to full ferocious distortion - from pop through all shades of rock and onto djent therefore. It is essentially a ’vanilla’ chain of classic sounds - overdrives, fuzzes and distortions, and mostly regular effects.

It’s taken a while, lots of trial and error and patience, but I am at a point where I am finally totally happy with my phase one pedal / signal chain.
