Morley PBA-2 Dual Bass Wah

The innocuous-looking Cock Fight Plus from Electro-Harmonix is, in fact, three effects in one. It’s a crying wah, it’s a talking wah, and it’s a classic fuzz pedal. Separate filters handle the heavy lifting for the first two effects—a traditional wah pedal filter for the wah sounds and a formant filter produces the vowel sounds. The fuzz section opens up a wide range of tonal possibilities; you can choose to add it before or after the filter section or just cut it out of the equation entirely.

It’s Fulltone’s popular Clyde Standard wah pedal, but more versatile. The Clyde Deluxe Wah enhances the original Clyde’s Vox-style wah voicings and added a 10-step variable input level control pot and three new selectable modes. You get a Wacked mode, a Jimi mode that recreates the Clyde Standard sound, and a Shaft mode for fighting your way to the top of Funk Mountain. The Clyde Deluxe Wah also features true bypass and is powered by the most authentic and most quiet ’60’s Vox type inductor available.
