    If someone could harness the power of 8 or more simultaneous wahs and condense it down to just 1 pedal, there might be a market for that. Probably a very small market, but I could see it being a thing.

      8 in wah pedal, trashcan snare heads, bass amp head with no outputs, custom shop table - I'm sure you can find a slightly bigger market if you sell all of these.

    I just bought my first wah last week, It is the cbm95 mini wah and is super great, the small size fits perfectly on my pedalboard. The only thing I don't like is the fact that the switch is inside the pedal and you gotta take off the 4 screws in order to change the frequencies (L, M and H).
    I wish I had watched this video before buying it, I totally fell in love with the mini 353Q.
    Thanks for the great video pmtvuk, you guys seriously rock

      Lol _"Auto-wah"_ nice pun I'm surprised a gimmicky effect pedal company hasn't thought of that and named their Auto-wah pedal _"Ottawa"_ with the Canadian flag. They have just about every name and design every thought up already as a pedal.. so this isn't far fetched based on the crazy stuff already on the market.

    Man iv been playing for half my life(im 32) and im yet to get a wah...i got the new tread light from fender(which isnt on any top lists) and i cant wait to get it. Its only 100 and its super sturdy, has dynamic tone shaping and seems to hit the classic "wah tone" just fine. Fender could have priced it a bit higher imo...i was gonna get the OG crybaby, but I wanted to be able to shape(or eventually shape) and this is just a little more than the OG crybaby. Can't friggin wait!
    I see the jim root tele...i got me one of those in a trade for an ec1000 I paid 600 for.

    As a bass player with a clean channel and an FX channel, I would like to know how to connect two of these in parallel so that my clean channel also has wah. As far as connecting cables is concerned, thats easy, but I need to figure out how to connect the two pedal foot rockers together somehow with a think plank of ply-wood covered in grip tape. Is it easy to drill through the foot rocking portion of the crybaby? Or do i need to figure out a better way to do this? Thanks!

    I happen to own the Jerry Cantrell from Alice in Chains signature dunlop, it's the limited edition one and it sounds great, i was originally gonna get the 535Q but i decided to settle on this one, i love the knob on the side which alters the sweep, it works well for Man in the Box!
    some other great wah users i love include:
    Slash (Guns N Roses/Miles Kennedy/Solo)
    Mark Tremonti (Alterbridge/Creed)
    Dimebag Darrell (Pantera/Damage Plan)
    Joe Bonamassa (Black Country Communion/Solo)

      Not sure bout the relevance of the comment, but you can use some expression pedals with auto-wah. I use the AMT EX-50 mini with my Boss AW3, and you can invert exp pedal’s polarity by using the “normal/inverted” switch on it.
