Wah-Wah Shootout: Area 51, Sabbadius, & 1970 Sound City (Dallas Arbiter)

A few people were thinking of buying a new wah-wah and wanted to hear the four that I have now. They are all very similar which I guess is a good thing because that means they are all fairly consistent copies of the old wahs. The main difference I noticed is the overall gain and tone of each wah.

The Area 51 drop-in kit is the first wah kit I bought to replace my old Cry Baby. It is the wah-wah I used in my first videos in 2008. I just replaced the inductor with a new Area 51 inductor because I busted the original one off of the board when I was trying to repair the shell.

The Area 51 Clyde Clone is a custom pedal that Area 51 did for a short while. They may still be available. Both have Area 51 custom potentiometers.

The Sabbadius Italian Wah drop-in kit is a recent acquisition. I ended up putting it in the old Cry Baby shell and putting the Area 51 into a new shell. Right now I think, if you buy this kit, you have to provide your own potentiometer. There are so many to choose from. I decided on the Castledine ICAR pot from the UK. It seems like a really good one. There is also the Chase Tone Tru TALK pot that was recommended by Sabbadius.

The 1970 Sound City (Dallas Arbiter) Fuzz Wah Face is a gift from my now deceased best friend. It sat in my room for years in poor condition. This year I finally decided to refurbish it and I am glad I did. It has the red 500 Fasel inductor in it. It is not true-bypass. The other three are true bypass.
