You said yourself: "Distortion/Overdrive"... Can a non guitar person differentiate one from another? And the Fuzz wasn't even invited... The Wah in the other hand is way more recognizable! Cheers!
José Sousa Well I consider them to be similar enough to where they can be used interchangeably. Not saying one is the other but the only real difference is the amount of gain. Overdrive is still technically considered distortion because the sound waves are being distorted.
More and more people have been talking about it lately and it’d be one thing if they were wording it differently but they’re just quoting Dave. 💀 Do people not know everyone can see the same youtube video. 😭

That was actually a very good video for me. I never used a wah. Dont have one in fact. I guess I need to go to the music store to get one. Really like those pinched harmonics with the wah. And it will certainly gives a new flavour to the music I usually do. Thanks for this video.
It was actually very bad video cause low impedance wah pedals can only accept signals from low impedance pickups. Crybaby wah pedals don't work with EMG pickups. Kirk was forced to commission a wah pedal to work with EMG pickups.
One of my favourite uses for wah is on Dance Little Liar by Arctic Monkeys. Alex uses a wah in conjunction with a quick echo with medium amount of repeats. While playing the note he pulls back on the wah and mutes the note, making a cool raygun type effect. Give the track a listen and you'll see what I mean.
You couldn't tell this wah pedal was rejecting the high impedance signal. This wah pedal was designed to work only with active EMG pickups. The tone pot on kirk's guitar is 20k. The tone pot on this guitar is 500K. The KH wah pedal DOES NOT accept signals from 500K pots. That's like pouring jet fuel into a lawn mower. Do you understand this sound fault problem you have, caleb? You Can't even hear that KH wah pedal Can't handle signals from 500K pots.
I too wear New Balance shoes. They come in wide sizes as well, which makes them very comfortable. In regard to the wah pedal, I really enjoyed listening to this. I just got a wah pedal for Christmas, but haven't yet dived into giving it a full tryout. After watching this video, I was inspired to start working with it more. I have never said this about anyone's guitar sound before, but I heard a hint of Gary Richrath in some of the harmonic sounds. Gary was an underrated guitar player for REO Speedwagon, from 1970 thru 1989. He used to get some very good harmonics on some of their songs. RIP - Gary, you were one in a million!
You didn't mention one that I personally love - using the wah as a step filter. Play a short, measure-long riff multiple times, but each time step up the wah slightly so it builds up. Great for taking a turning what would otherwise be a simple or uninteresting riff into something dynamic and cool.
Damn, I'm not usually the biggest fan of your playing, but this last segment was tasty as hell, very well produced and very clean aswell. I really liked it!
nice Kirk Hammett wah pedal. you can also plug your guitar cable into the output of the wah and the cable you would use for the output of the pedal, running from the input jack of the wah, for some really wild sounds that can be adjusted and manipulated from the guitar.
I have a dime bag Darrell cry baby it has some interesting built in effects, nothing over the top but I was definitely made for the intention of having more sustain and harmonics At first I didn't really like the pedal because I think it is the only actual Dunlop crybaby that has other knobs on it. It even has a boost button on the side that (somehow) you can click with your foot.
There are plenty of Dunlop wahs with knobs and switches! I just picked up the jimi Hendrix fuzz wah and not only is there a knob, there’s are switches to engage the fuzz and another to select whether the fuzz comes before or after the wah. There’s also a tiny knob on the bottom to control the volume of the fuzz
Holy crap the tone of that cutlass.. what amp you usin with it?? *by the way it is taking ALL of my personal effort to NOT make a Kirk Hammett joke right now.*
You must be shapeless, formless, like wahter. When you pour wahter in a guitar, it becomes the guitar. When you pour wahter in a pedal, it becomes the pedal. When you pour wahter in an amp, it becomes the amp. Wahter can drip and it can crash. Become like wahter my friend. Kirk "Bruce Lee" Hammett, probably
By this point we should just call Wah the Metallica Effect Haha. Wah is definitely one of the most beloved (but also probably loathed) guitar effects there is, so I salute the lesson here man!
I was waiting for you to use the wah as a filter with the toe down a la Tom Morello. He uses it like that in the verses of Bulls on Parade for “more menace” & in both Born of a Broken Man & Cochise as sort of a lo-fi “tinny” effect so when the riff drops back in, it’s immense! 🤘🏻
Missed wah usage: Take a good amount of gain and play a large chord with notes spread across the fretboard. Use wah to slowly sweep across the notes of the chord. Did not have time watch this through, so this could be shortly somewhere...?

Crybaby wah pedals don't work with EMG pickups.
Kirk was forced to commission a wah pedal to work with EMG pickups.
Meme or not, the Kirk hammett signature crybaby is one of the coolest looking pedals ever.
No that would be a BLUE paint product.
Number 10: the Cliff Burton.
Basically using a similar amount of wah as Kirk but if you take away the wah it still sounds cool as hell.
Go play with your wiggles , idiot.

Just bought a Fulltone Clyde Deluxe Wah an I’m really loving it. It sounds amazing with a fuzz.
Nothing says "shredder" quite like some white New Balance : )
Funny as shit. Yea, he needed some Doc Martin's to crush that shit.
2. Fixed Position, you should have played the opening riff from Money for Nothing by Dire Strait.

Really liked everything about the song at the end. Wah pedal on bass is much fun, too.
I thought these would be cheesy hacks but these are total legit ways to creatively use the Wah!! Great video thank you
Am I the only one who feels like this was just one big New Balance shoe advertisement? 🤣
I just got a wah and it is such a fun pedal to experiment with
12:25 SHIT HITS HARRRRRDDDDD
A song hasn't made me feel this way in a long time!!!
For full effect- it is critical to make faces when playing guitar. It lets your audience know how passionate you are.
Very impressive but....oops, wrong channel
Super video man. Thanks! I really liked thinking of the guitar as a percussive instrument and am implementing this into my practice routine.
You must be deaf cause that pedal couldn't handle signals from 500 K pots.

You understand you’re a musical genius right? That solo was HOT.
Imagine not hearing constant cracks when you're using a wah😍
Imagine not hearing what sounds like a file against concrete behind your wah sound.
It's cool that you mention drum machine because in some ways the wah makes my foot dance to the music while I ripped the solo LOL.
This is very cool wow everyone that I have shown is very impressed
The ending solo was fucking awesome!

Missed wah usage: Take a good amount of gain and play a large chord with notes spread across the fretboard. Use wah to slowly sweep across the notes of the chord.
