      The final solo at "All Along the Watchtower". Hendrix might use it for only a small part of the solo but it gives it so much mojo... My personal favourite wah-wah moment, still to this day

    TY for starting the video vv/the solution to fixing the vvah-squeek that all nevv vvah pedals have. The 2nd day I ovvn my crybaby vvah I vvas sooo sick of the squeek I opened it & fixed it ( I'd normally NEVER do it myself & take it to a shop but this experience made me vvilling to fix my ovvn stuff aftervvards ) & vvas happy vv/it aftervvard. Also TY for pointing out that D. Gilmour uses a vvah on the solo in comfortaly numb, even though I've heard it thousands of times I never picked up on it being there. TY again & keep up the great vvork .

    No! Do not lube the rod in you Wah pedal! If you do that it will always fall down to front position when you take your foot off and you can not adjust it to desired position/sound and then just leave it there. The solution is very simple and Jimi perfected this skill. You turn the knob that say volume on your big marshal amp all the way up, and then some. You will not hear it sqeaking any more.

    John Frusciante has the best wah sound IMO, especially the way he uses it during improvised solos live (also there is a really cool guitar lesson session with him, where he showcases it in an epic solo). Actually I think less is often more with the wah. For example I really like Jimi turning it on for a solo and then leave it, just to kick the sound. Electric funeral is a great example for a dark sound. Voodoo childe is the climax of wah history.

    WD-40 is not a lubricant, well not a very good one anyway. It'll do in a pinch but as it evaporates the squeak will likely come back. Better off to use a dedicated spray lubricant, my preference being a dry teflon spray like used on bicycle chains.

    • @PaulDavids

  • @xerxesxylophone7188
    @xerxesxylophone7188 4 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    I guess you can think of this as a manually controlled modulation type pedal like a flanger or phaser. It does the same thing to the frequency spectrum, except now the sweep is controlled by your foot instead of an LFO.

    • @rakusin
      @rakusin 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Not a modulation but a filter. It is a manual filter and works different from a phaser

  • @nathanpohl5396

      He hasn't activated the JH original Thomas wah sound yet and we've been waiting for 3 years already.
      None of those sounds were remotely related to a 1960's wah sound.
      I can make all of JH's original sounds exactly.
      I own all of the JH equipment.
      There was NO voodoo sounds throughout this entire video.
      Stop being disrespectful to JH.
      Jimi PAID a lot of money to make his Wah sounds.
      You don't get that sound from 1 pedal.

  • @innocentoctave
    @innocentoctave 6 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    Excellent demonstration. The only thing missing was the 'cocked wah' or 'parked wah' technique characteristic of players like Mick Ronson, who used the wah set to a particular position purely as a filter, to emphasise a particular section of the mids. There are now pedals dedicated to reproducing these static sounds, but at the time 'parking' a wah was the only way to do it.

    • @dreyn7780
      @dreyn7780 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      It was a terrible sound video.
      JH signature equipment doesn't work outside of the set of JH pedals.
      Clearly YOU can hear there was NO 1960's Thomas wah sound at all.
      If YOU were right VOX would take dunlop to court and beat them with a big stick.

  • @marcelrossouw7761
    @marcelrossouw7761 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Recently learned about the "cocked wah" technique, basically staying in a static position on the wah to hone in on a certain tone, as used by Mark Knopfler a la Dire Straits in Money for Nothing, STP on Vasoline, and many more. I always wanted to know how they obtained that tone, now I know! B.t.w Paul you look absolutely thrilled to be doing a video on wah ;)

  • @wienerwoods
    @wienerwoods 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    WD 40 isn't a a good lubricant - it's a solvent, and so it quickly evaporates. Try "Corrosion X" when it starts squeaking again. It's a high-pressure rated lubricant that is designed for use on electrical equipment. It's also has excellent ant-corrosive properties:
    www.westmarine.com/buy/corrosionx--corrosionx-corrosion-and-rust-inhibitor-6-oz--601406
    I don't work for them or anything - I'm just a sailor who has to keep things lubricated and corrosion free in a salt water environment.

  • @nickf9392

    Duct tape a quarter or nickel under the heel bumper....it keeps the pedal in the "working range" and keeps the sound from dropping out at heel down. Try it....don't like it....take it off.......(you'll like it).
