It sounded like a wah to me, I don't think the amp would change the sound of the wah, the wah rather changes the guitar signal in the same way no matter what the amp is, so it should just sound like your amp, with the wah wah effect. Anyway, it's a cool effect, should sound fine with your amp, and sound better with a tube amp when you get one. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

The only reservation I have that I can think of is an Overdrive pedal that will not work the same really. I use it to cream the tubes so I get it to break up in sound. No tubes in a SS but I guess you'd get a distorted sound from it. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Gotta love creaming the tubes with a hot OD pedal !1 You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!
