6. I Found Mine At GC On-Line

Came from a store in North Carolina.
I've had other wah pedals, but I'm nuts about my Screaming Demon!
It's a Korg product (I think). Very solid build and smooth action.
But, my favorite part is this: there are 2 modes. One locks the effect that can be turned on/off with a separate footswitch. The other mode (the one I use) is the wah effect kicks on as soon as you touch the pedal. Use the wah, take your foot off the pedal, and regular sound! And, it's instant, both on & off.
The control of Q and depth are superb.
I'd never use anything else.
Other effects? Pretty limited. I've got a chorus, an acoustic simulator (which doesn't do that, but I use it to get a super thin, glassy tone. Think the guy from The Fixx), a digital echo (sparingly used), & a pitch shifter.
I do have the amp looped to a digital reverb/delay. I set the delay to a soft slapjack that is timed the same as the first reflection on the reverb.
I also have a Vox Saturator. Fantastically smooth distortion unit. I bought it so I could go to jam nights and get my tone, through any amp set clean.
Oh, and I use a volume pedal. Of course, I'll use it for swells but that not my main thing.
I hear a nice difference in tone between turning down the volume on the guitar, and leaving that full but pedaling down.
Two different tones for rhythm, both crunchy & big.
I've got a rack mounted tuner with a kill switch. But, I don't count that as a pedal. It's a momentary switch. Step on it, no signal. Tune an offending string, pick up foot! Back to rockin'.
