Title: Wah And Distortion

Hi guys,

With songs like 'The souls of distortion', 'Mind storm' and others I can't remember for now - does Joe use Wah + distortion?

I'm thinking of getting a Wah pedal and I've been looking at the Boss PW-10 and Jim Dunlop Crybaby classic CB95... is it better to have a wah pedal with distortion on board, or to use the overdrive on the amp with a wah pedal.

I have no experience with using Wah so what are your views? I don't want to spend more than $170 US (about $300 Australian I think..)

cheers
Andy

Those tracks definitely Joe uses wah and distortion. Joe uses a 535Q (I think) which is just wah.

The Boss PW10 - is that the V-Wah? I have one. You can very easily turn off the distortion and use just the wah models. I love it and recommend you try one! Much better (IMHO) to have a bunch of different wahs than just one ;)

Let us know how you get on and what you decide on!
