Dunlop Zakk Wylde Wah
Does anyone have one of these?
If so, how do you like it?

I'm currently using a Morley "Bad Horsie" but I've grown to like the sound you get from a 1/2-cocked wah (ala Zakk Wylde) which you can't do with the Morley.

So, I'm considering the Zakk Wylde model.
Dunlop
Any thoughts?

Re: Dunlop Zakk Wylde Wah

Nice!
From what I've read, there's some sort of modified circuitry that provides a thicker tone too as Wah's in general can sound really thin.

As for the wider sweep ... I think you can adjustment the range by adjusting an allen screw.
Did you do this or did you just leave it stock?

The allen screw only adjusts the actual sweep motion of the pedal, makes it stiffer or softer. It won't change the sound at all.

Nice wah though, personally like it way better than the stock cry baby. Not really thin sounding, it's got a nice sweet spot.

You can't get anything like a Hendrix tone. It's got a real nice sweet spot, real tubey. And it looks kick ass. DO IT!

Get a Teese Wizard Wah and in all honesty the 535q from dunlop is pretty solid as well.
