swlabr Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 I've read that in a lot of Clapton's early material he used those A LOT! I was wondering if of the many talented guitarits we got here, who uses fuzz boxes and wah-pedals? And if it's possible, can anyone explain how they work and are used?

sabre Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 wah, its when the guitar goes 'waaah', listen to the start of voodoo child.fuzz is like distortion but a bit more warm i guess, few people use it now because distortion pedals are more fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Rose Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 In SCOM, around 4:20 in the solo, I think at least live Slash uses wah in that part. Basically the sound is just "wwwwwwuuuuuaaaaaaaahh". Listen to Metallicas Black Album, especially there Kirk uses a shitload of wah. Metallicas Outlaw Torn's solo is a good example too.Hope that helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
where's izzy? Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 Yeah if you like GNR, Metallica, Hendrix, Clapton, or even VR a wah pedal is definitly worth getting.Basically you just rock your foot back and forth on it to make it draw out different notes. Their really cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnezz Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 (edited) I LOVE Clapton's Wah guitar work, it's awesome, but Hendrix reigns supreme when it comes to Wah.I'm getting a Crybaby Wah for christmas. Oh and personally i'm a big fan of Fuzz.If you want to go in between Fuzz and Distortion, then the Big Muff pedel is what you want.
