Wah Question, Where to put the wah pedal

Mar 8 2008, 02:29 PM	GMC:er Posts: 1 Joined: 5-March 08	Hi I have a 535Q crybaby and I was wondering where to put it. Should it be like this?: Amplifier -> Wah pedal -> Distortion pedal -> Guitar Or this?: Amplifier -> Distortion pedal -> Wah pedal -> Guitar I experimented a bit with the 2 setups. If I put the wah before the distortion it seems to give a more powerful effect. But when I use it the other way around I get a very cool effect but only with my boss overdrive, not with my boss metal zone. Using my metal zone I get an effect in the low frets but not in the higher ones. Is there something wrong with my gear perhaps? What order do you use your gear in?

But that's just the general opinion, put it where you like the sound most. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!
