Which is better, Wah-Fuzz or Fuzz-Wah? | In the Shop Episode #39 | Thomann 

Actual test begins at 3:43.

Great demo and taught me a lot.Have now buffered my fuzz after the wah and love it so much.

Just perfect!!! Never thpught that "buffer" thing can cause this! Thanx dudes!

Excellent video, as usual, I'm gonna change my setup and put the wha in the preamp loop, after al the distos!

Keep this two guys! They are amongst the best youtuber guitar faces. Sympatic, enjoy what they are doing, respectful and knowledgeable.

That was really interesting. I tend towards fuzz before way but I didn't know about the almost cancelling effect when down the other way around. Very cool.

i needed this today. thanks, guys.

Thank you for sound leveling your videos whether on purpose of by accident. It's much easier to watch without having to deal with incompetent sound levels by so many other You Tubers.

The buffer fundamentally changes the range and eq of the Fuzz,- which can be good or bad, depending on what you want. As also briefly noted, what cuts through a mix, and what sounds great solo, are two different things; add a little reverb or delay, - even more change.Unfortunately, in a band mix, some of those qualities you might love in a pedal get washed away or sucked under.

I was watching this while pooping in a public restroom and inadvertently harmonized my fart with an A note and the dude a couple stalls down said "Nice.". Awesome.

I like fuzz/distortion into wah. Bass player so it gives me the crazy sounds that pop in every now and then :)

Good vid lads. Very good infact.

Great lesson people😄👍👍👍

Hi guys. Thanks for this. It taught me why my wah to fuzzface wasn't working. Is there a list of which pedals from boss work this way? I tried my DS-1 and it made no difference, so is it only the waza versions that have the better / more appropriate buffer built in?

Great, just for the right time, when I got myself a fuzz for my board. Currently I play fuzz-wah, but with the buffer thing - I might just try it the other way round again, with my boss SD-1 in the middle as buffer.

i should have bought the fender fuzz wah reissue a decade ago... but a simple versatile solution is to sandwich a fuzz between two wahs...

Just for the records, there's a third way: the original VOX Double Sound had the WAH and the FUZZ in parallel (and no buffers anywhere). And the fuzz was relatively close to the Hendrix Fuzz Face.

Time to stick my fuzz in front of my wah. I have a fuzz with a built in buffer, but the buffer takes a lot of the fuzz sound away. Will have to try this!

Learn the rules so you can break them properly.

Just got a xotic wah and I have a empress fuzz. I liked the fuzz before the wah because I wasn’t too over baring but I can nail in my settings

I have a Boss Aw3, and a Fig Fumb, i think I like more the wah fuzzed than the fuzz wahzed, but the buffer seems to cause noise on the fuzz...

Guys I'm surprised not a fuzz fan but both of these sounds were cool thanks the buffer issue is a problem on my pedal board time for a move around

My first pedal back in the 70s was a Morley Fuzz Wah.

Thanks!

Either is fine. Having the Metal Zone gives you an extra distortion pedal to play with on its own.

It's fuzz into wah for me. V7D black russian into morley dual bass wah. So sick!

I use to put wah 1st and then fuzz and the only reason I had it this way was because that's how Jimi Hendrix wired up his pedals, but I really didn't like the way the wah sounded when the fuzz was engaged. I'm using a Crybaby Classic and Jimi Hendrix Fuzz Face Mini. I swapped the order to Fuzz 1st then Wah and it made a world of a difference. For me, Fuzz then Wah is the way to go!

Bought myself a silicon fuzz & a germanium fuzz last week.....tasty dirty stuff! Cant get enough of the stuff! ;) Nice one Kris & GG (not Allin).

Legend says that Kirk Hammet is watching this video!

What happens if the metal zone pedal is engaged too?

dope asics dood :D

Either way works for us!

Is that a Boss buffered pedal in between?

I'm now very confused. HELP! So Wah into Fuzz won't work without a buffer in front of the fuzz? But Fuzz into Wah is fine? What about with Distortion pedals? Is the conventional order Wah into Distortion? This stuff always confuses me.

a wah-fuzz- fuzz-wah firework display for the fourth of july!!...i love wah and fuzz or fuzz and wah!!...a question i have is why do guitarists often play around like here with a whole bunch of pedals but then just never seem to REALLY use them in actual musical combat!?... they just pussy around only getting slightly down and dirty with their sound!! 🎶🙄🎶 ... i find that the dirtier the sound the more i like it!! ... do you think i have a problem doctor andy!? ... i certainly have problems trying to get a fix for my audio habit!! ... my demand far exceeds the supply that i can find here in youtubeland!! ... another question i have is can you please tell me about any guitarists worldwide who really and i mean REALLY give it the full monty in their regular playing fuzz-wah- wah-fuzz wise!? ... i happen to follow on and off a protege of yours called filippa...she goes on and on at length about guitar pedals quite often and has an awesome board i've seen full of them...but then sadly she never seems to actually USE them much...alas she shops lots but uses little!! 😂 ... is this how it is with guitarists nowadays... all talk and no action!? ... is fuzz-wah dead!? ... only this morning i discovered a so-called 'blues rock guitarist' wallowing in hype and of long standing who then proceeded NOT to entertain me with his sadly all too clean playing!! ... i let him know my feelings in a comment!! 🎸☹😡🤬 ... i follow a lot of young guitarists on youtube... including toby lee the blues guitarist who doesn't seem at all keen to use any sort of effect pedals or even work that shiny dangling thing found on a lot of guitars called a 'whammy bar' i think... it seems to me that it's only mainly asian players who have even mastered playing that properly and to good effect!! ... sorry that i've gone on a bit here in my comment but it's something that i feel passionately about!! ... i want my guitarists to use MORE wah and fuzz!! ... i often wonder if there's a guitarist out there somewhere who ONLY uses wah and fuzz in their guitar playing...what a breath of fresh air that would be!! ... without dirtyness guitar playing SOON gets boring and BEING BORING IS THE GREATEST CRIME IN MUSIC!! 👋🙂🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 ...

The Fuzz first was my choice. Thanks Guys.

The switcher.. Is a Boss and has a buffer. If I put anything with a buffer before my fuzz face it's not good. I have an active tone in my bass and it doesn't work with mt fuzz face. Any Fuzz Face variant that has an "attack" knob is able to add resistance on the input and will be happy to oblige any placement in the chain.

Well, the fuzz NEEDING a buffer before it was unexpected, but i believe this is the silicon Fuzz Face, right?! From what i've seen the germanium doesn't respond (to buffers) like this.

Honestly. The blues scales in reviews on RU-vid, are like a bloody nightmare.

Distortion before wha, always, otherwise you re not gonna be able to do the best wha trick ever; the Frusciante crazy wha thing 😉

You could do a Wah shout-out. Let's start with the standard Wahs of Dunlop and Vox and others too?

John frusciante use ds-2 into wah and it’s sounds so good

The buffer affects the fuzz sound???

I love this Joseph Gordon Levitt / Eric Andre interview!!

I like to think of the placement topic as your preferred tone into a desired effect on your preferred tone. For me that’s my core drive sound into each and any other affects. I’m not a fan of distorting “effects”. But each to their own 🤘

Fuzz > wah is like squeezing your fuzz through a tube. As you go from heel down to toe down it's like you're gradually introducing more fuzz into your signal. Wah > fuzz gives you a more chaotic sound, probably because you're filtering your clean tones with the wah THEN fuzzing them up, resulting in a sound with a lot of overtones.

GREAT VIDEO

Hendrix used wah wah before fuzz without pedal buffer in the mid. Maybe his vox wah wah had a buffer inside?

Less yappin', more testin'

I just use a vintage Crybaby Fuzz Wah✨🎵✨

Fuzz + Wah = Screamin'

Can't have a buffer inbetween, either way on my new, old Fender Fuzz Wah. Don't care. I'm just a hack gear collector... for the right price! Already had a Dunlop Crybaby mini. ❤

I think a transparent like a soul food first works but too much distortion at the front muddies the tone too much

Auto wah with reverse might be best (regardless of order)... Maybe even a studio reverb at the end.

I’m a wah to fuzz guy.

So the crazy sound is: Guitar-->fuzz-->wah-->Amp right?

WTF now means Wah-The-Fuzz to me

Cry Baby isn't true bypass. What happen if: 1) True Bypass Wah > Fuzz? 2) Any differences if germanium or silicon fuzz?

I have always preferred Fuzz into Wah and the only time I ever use Fuzz. I love that Red PRS Custom 24-08 (if I am not mistaken) and that PRS 509 looks great too!!

Wah into an Op-Amp Big Muff for me.

If you have a high quality wah pedal, with hardwire true bypass, I think this becomes a non-issue

👉 This is better on bass.👈 I ran fuzz from my Spectrum pedal inrto my 90's Morley Power Wah just to re-live some Cliff Burton memories. Fuzz then wah is the only way to go....unless you're a guitarist,then you will likely do something silly.

I found Waldo!

comp->fuzz->wah for me

Can you tell me the cry baby model please.

Treble booster > Fuzz > Wah

Then you're putting a buffer before a fuzz face though

So first fuzz then wah.

AH HA !

Please ask somebody to help you to tie up your shoes. 🙈 Beside that. Great clip. Thanks 😁👍

In the thumbnail it looks like it's Andy with Prince Harry in this video

Am I the only person why thinks the tone of the fuzz changed when the buffer was added in

WHA first !! unless your... METAL ZONE for all effects just mod the mid freq control to an expression pedal and bingo METAL WHA ZONE.... Wasa you got to say now! MT-2 For life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

7:00 Wazas are NOT made in Japan.

Why am I hating this guy with curly hair? Because he's trying to sell me the whole stock just for the sake of making money.

I bought a 90s fuzz wah crybaby. Problem solved

TALK TOO MUCH😩

but Dunlop says that first fuzz and then wah pedal. That's the original text in the pdf file of the manuals from DUNLOP: Jimi's preferred hookup was: Guitar to Fuzz to CRYBABY® to Amplifier.

Sorry, Jimi had it right from the get-go! Run the Wah first dudes, lol why try to reinvent the sound?
