As far as Wah pedals are concerned, I never thought the Fulltone was any good, to be honest.
Trower’s sounds horrible. No “throat” to it. All annoying high end.
I had a Jubilee w/ matching 4x12 (V-30's) 10 years ago. Still one of my favorite Marshall amps with a Strat. I set it to Joe B's settings and barely touched it afterwards.
I don't recall ever bothering with the Clean side of it.
I would hit it with a Maxon SD-9 abnd it was a killer tone. Diodes...
I hear you!!! I feel the same way. Seems everybody can play and get the sounds that I struggled for decades with.
I can barely work a wah anymore (neuropathy) but I still love my Vibes!
