90s morello
was thinking of that Santana song Smooth, that probably has wah on it right? That was about 2000 I think
Feel like that song is pure irony though. Insanely meta
to listen to it now is ironic but it was deadly serious upon release
I literally used one last week!
Unironically, but incompetently
hoping for someone to lose their wig over wah being a legitimate effect tbh
This would be pretty nice without that ridiculous tremolo/pitch wobble on the guitar part. Turn it into a nice shimmering chorus instead and we’ll talk
I thought of the song because I quite like that they’ve used a shit effect brazenly. Felt like what Of Montreal would be if they were slightly less affected
That song Wah Wah
I think I used a similar effect in a track once but it was different and better because:
a) I did it
b) it was just for a solo so was a little refreshing zaniness instead of an entire track
Did you hang in there for the solo? He’s almost definitely got an EHX organ sim on that
I think I used my ridiculous Moog Chorus pedal , really quick delay time. Really wanted to try and justify such an expensive pedal, when ordinarily I just like a tiny bit of tasteful chorus
and yeah I did listen to the whole track, I was enjoying the vocal harmonies and the general groove but everything was half drowned out by mr. plinkywaaooowah effect.
Fair: they tend to do mad fx on everything but never the same sort so maybe other wooze will appeal to you
if there’s wah on this then it’s pretty subtle
It’s a slow filter sweep on the lead part in the chorus.
sounds very nice!
I don’t think it should count as wah unless there’s a bit of chikkawauumwaaah in there y’know?
