Ben,
I take it that all the below mentioned products are guitar gear?
In that case, I think I'll take my notebook with B4 down to the local music
store and ask the guitar techy for all his Wah, Wah, stuff. I'll do a quick
comparison and then publish the results.

Larry, I HAVE heard the Morley is far superior to the Dunlop Crybaby. If
the Wah is adjustable that would be pretty neat. I've also heard that the
Morley has a lot more Wah than the Dunlop. Sometimes I would prefer more
Wah....but my pedal is maxed out.

I'll be sure to try the Morley and let you know how it compares with any
other products.

Daniel

Wah, Delay, touchwah-- Grab some MMW, Dub Reggae, or Prog. House
tracks to hear the result.

I've found recent success using the soon to be discontinued Mr.
Crybaby pedal- its a crybaby wah that switches to a volume pedal when
the wah is disengaged. To make it useful I had to move the
footswitch to an external pedal (otherwise you need to hit max volume
or wah to change effects which can lead to embarassing momments on
stage) but I like the volume and wah sweep ranges.

Boss DD-5 has become a staple effect for me. I place it ontop of my
controllers for knob-tweaking fun. The reverse delay mode is neat
w/slow volume or wah sweeps. It has tap tempo delays too.

I also played w/using my Akai Variwah (before going with the
Crybaby). One of the modes is a touchwah (velocity sensative wah)
w/knobs and a pedal input (best used for wah sensativity) so the
effect has a nice interplay w/organ volume changes and chorus modes.
Usually that pedal routes to my wurly though. There is an autowah
mode, but it sounds lame next to an actual rotating speaker... I've
also played w/a boss autowah pedal and found it very limited for
organ.

A few weeks ago, I was close to John Scofield's stage rig and saw him
make good use of the lowly EQ pedal. A stompbox EQ or Fixed Wah
filter (Dunlop has one now) might be bit less distracting then 2nd
exp. pedal. I was recently eyeballing a new Boss EQ pedal that
allows you to store EQ patches-- I would love to hear reviews.
