Accessories Wah wah pedal recommendation?

[BrianJoeSandy]

I fancy playing with a Wah wah pedal but have no idea what to get. I have a carol dynamic mic. Rather liked that repeated echo effect on Marius Nesset's new CD Birds.

You say you are near Daventry so we're virtually neighbours - you can borrow my Digitech Vocal 300 pedal if you want to see what it can do. That can be programmed every which way - I've not got wah-wah on it right now but there is probably a patch available somewhere for it. PM me if you want to take me up on it.

Davey, have you got the manual? You can download it off the web - they are bl**dy complicated things and you won't get far without it if you want to tailor the sounds to suit your style. There's also some guy that has done some settings specifically for sax and he has posted them on YouTube. They might not suit you but they are a good place to start from.

I discovered other threads on this topic. Should have searched for 'Effects pedal'
i am thinking of getting the Digitech 300 thanks to Dooce. I see this http://www.gak.co.uk/en/digitech-rp-90/1603 is much cheaper but not sure what I would be missing.

'Spose I should mention that the Digitech only has auto-wah - not pedal controlled like a Cry-Baby.

watch out for auto wah- it can sound very silly/ odd

I'm a bit stuck. The Digitech 300 is no longer available in the uk as far as i can see. The 355 has an off putting review on amazon.
