Mxr CAE wah.
I've always used my 2 og EH crying tones but decided to step into this century.
The cae has just enough adjustment and tweakability for me.
 
Been using one of the OG Fulltone Clyde Deluxe units for a LONG time. Bitch is, it's gotten noisy. Too noisy to keep on my board. Sent *several* emails to Mike/Support re: getting a new pot that I could solder in - nada. Nothing.

It's my fave wah, but maybe that's just because it's been my only wah. If I don't get some positive action from the Fuller camp reasonably soon? I'm in the market for a decent wah - so this thread could not have come at a better time. I'm not a monster wah user, but when I do use it, it needs to be excellent with both single coil and humbucker equipped fiddles. That's what I loved about the Clyde Deluxe - options. But this thread may have me shift into a new product...

I have heard very good things about the aforementioned MXR CAE unit. It might be time.
 
I was using the Dunlop Dime Wah full time until I got the fractal FX8 and now use the Wah in there. But I use the Dime as my backup or when I am not using the FX8.
 
I've been through my share of Wahs and somewhat landed on the Dunlop Slash Wah. Dead quiet too.
 
I like the Cantrell wah.. I bought mine used and was modded for true bypass... had no idea for 2 years.

Did you clean the pot inside? May not need a replacement. I got one for cheap a guy sold for being noisy I think. Cleaned it up and zero noise at all. Have had it for a bit and it is the best sounding wah I've ever used.

I've opened it up, De-Oxit'ed it, checked all connections, checked the spindle, it just hums like a mofo. What did you do to get yours all sorted out?? PM is fine if ya wanna take this offline - I'm interested to know - cuz the Clyde Deluxe is by no means a cheap stomp to just relegate into the "oh well too noisy" bin IMHO.
 
535q
CAE MC404

I did a lot of gigs with wah and nothing else. Easy my favorite effect.
 
Only the classic for me.
Just got rid of the old one i had from the 70s.

New one is much improved and so much quieter. Better sweep and has external jack

I added an LED. Simple mod.
I think every wah should have one.

Cant count how many times i thought i clicked it off and it wasn't

I literally just did what was in this video and it fixed it right up. Yours may have something different going on!

 
Cry Baby Wah

The Morley and Fulltone Wah pedals also sound great but I have’s tried them out in person yet.
 
BBE Ben Wah (same one for roughly 20 now, no issues, still sounds/works great)
 
still rockin' the old 535Q. Always wanted an RMC, but the 535 sounds great.
 
Cantrell wah, grabbing a Petrucci wah at some point this year.
