Anyone have photos or info on Neal's late 80s (like 1988/1989) rig? I'm curious to see his wah of the time.
 
There's a fairly recent cell phone picture of Neal showing his wah, but I don't know if he was into that back in the late 80's... :D
 
Schon: I used the Jimi Hendrix wah wah in front. I used to use a Buddy Guy which is supposed to be exactly like the Hendrix, but when I heard the Hendrix pedal I actually liked it better, just because it’s more active electronics in the Buddy Guy. So you can turn off the boost and it felt like the extra wiring took something out of there. It’s a process of elimination these days, you know. You get more of the real guitar vibe into it.
 
Thanks guys. I am actually looking for what he used specifically around 1988/1989 though. Supposedly, it was an EMB wah but not rackmounted. The circuit was just put in a box like a huge pedal, lol.
