DEMONSTRATION: Comparison of 3 wah wah pedals
PEDALS: Jim Dunlop Cry Baby GCB-95, Morley Mark Tremonti Power Wah & Line 6 Flextone III onboard Wah
ADDITIONAL PEDALS: None
GUITAR: Ibanez RG2228
AMP: Line 6 Flextone III XL
SONG: The Glass Prison by Dream Theater

This is a comparison of the 3 different Wah pedals in my home setup: The Jim Dunlop Cry Baby GCB-95 Wah Pedal, the Morley Mark Tremonti Power Wah, and the Line 6 Wah built into the floorboard of the Flextone III XL home practice amplifier.

The riff is played four times by my bandmate Gary:

(1) No wah, just amp Overdrive and Delay
(2) Jim Dunlop Cry Baby GCB-95
(3) Morley Mark Tremonti Power Wah
(4) Line 6 Wah

    i watched all four …
    i watched all four videos and the crybaby wins it has more attack and is more noticable line 6 is out cause it just has one type of wah and doesnt really focus on to wah and this morley wah is not that good but there is better ones like the george lynch version but there is also better dunlop wahs like the one that is rack controllable and the 535q wich are perfect for any kind of music and give you your chance to contro your wah as you want it

    Why wrong song. There is wah in the original version. One speaker has a dry guitar playing the riff, the other speaker has thw wah version.
