I don't claim to be a wah specialist or anything, I tend to use my Crybaby when going to the amp, but if I'm doing all amp sim type of things then I usually go for the ones in Guitar Rig as they're close enough and got fair amount of tuning range especially when tweaking the controller pedal response.

But if it's all space FX like wah then a simple bandpass is usually my pick. Something like sweep from 300-1700 Hz, slight volume boost when pedal down, adjust resonance to taste. That way I can change the sound from mellow to aggressive.

 

I've tried all software wah pedals, and in plain English...they all suck. Buy yourself a used wah of your choice and live forever in frequency shifting bliss.

 

Sure, but in that case no need to call it wah, it's just a bandpass filter (which a wah is)

 

The only VST that came close to the vicinity of the ballpark is Kuassa for me. Even better than some real pedals (the Morley wah sucked as much as the Swiss postal service)

 

No, it is the French Postal Service that sucks the most, but I digress...I bought the Kuassa and don't use it because to me "they all suck", but not as much as La Poste .

 

Why did I sell my Crybaby?

Still on the hunt for a Vst that quacks...

 

Well, all I have to do now is buy a Crybaby and go play with my crappy guitar amp at the post office.
The French post office has gone mad. It used to be a national treasure. Like trains. Destroyed by sharks.
It's a good idea to sing with a wah and a crappy guitar amp at the post office.

 

i am a sucker (well i would argue not but thats what makes it true) for tim petherick nebula libraries, so yeah i got it just to add to my collection. i dont own an electric guitar and like shinyzen would just be using it as a sound design effect. so i can't really speak to how good it is compared to other wah pedal vst or just other wah pedals in general. sorry. i will say petherick makes top notch stuff, it sounds cool to me! people on gearspace seem to like it but they would, nebula is a bit of a cult.

 

whats happened to the french post office as of late that makes them reviled? i am a postal worker in the states, im sure we all kinda suck at the end of the day. what a job, i just walk around and put junk ads into peoples homes like a human popup ad. at least i give them packages and rarely hand written letters. and its brain dead easy ha.

 

I for one last week mailed a piece of gear to a friend that so far hasn't arrived, and now at this late date don't expect it to.

 

i just returned a letter to the sender that was dated dec 16th 2024, so it might just get there hella late as some point. what CONDITION its is in if it does who knows. i try to take care of peoples parcles but i know before me in the chain they get thrown around a ton.

 

I'm french and France is dead. That's all!

ps:
I don't know if I was censored but I wrote a message that disappeared...

 

I personally like the Nembrini wah, but I still own and use my original 60's Jen Electronics Cry Baby, I regret ever selling my 60's Schaller Bow Wow it had a second Yoy Yoy sound which was so unique, I also bought a a behringer Hellbabe 01, which I find very disappointing.
There are just so many VST Wah pedals you are sure to find one you will like. Otherwise you may just end up buying another Cry baby.

 

My old Mutron Volumn Wah was stolen out of my friend's studio about 30 years ago. I've not gotten out of bed and have been crying nonstop since then. I really should get over it.

 

Such a pity, why didn't you post with tracking ? I'm sure your " " "friend" " " who didn't receive the " " "piece of gear" " " cries herself to sleep every night...

 

That answer is rather an easy one and I should (Baby) face the fact...that I'm rather an idiot, m'Lady!

Oh, come now. Not everyone has the clairvoyance to avoid smoking crack from a cherry scented venus flytrap !

 

you got it wrong, there's no wah plugin bc there's no proper bandpass filter (or any filter) itb . coming from real pedal to plugin just like that? are you after clown sound? go ahead and dig those plugins. buy the fucking pedal back.

 

There is another factor : wah pedals affect the guitar sound not only by filtering, but by affecting impedance too.
So it will change pickup response too.

It is kind of "additional" tone knob :
Input impedance of classic wah pedals (like the Vox or Cry Baby) is generally between 69kΩ and 120kΩ

About the range, most plugins let you define it or use another model with different range.
There are more than 10 in Amplitube
