another thing...
I've gotten rid of the electronics inside a Dunlop crybaby and converted it to use for the axe fx iii
now it definitely feels like a real wah but with the benefits of digital customization
so now I can't "complain" it doesn't feel like the real thing, mechanic, range and feel wise of a real wah!
if you're handy with soldering here's how!

Over the years I've had original classic wahs I bought in the 70s, in addition to several others. The originals would get scratchy, and suck all the tone out of the guitar even when they were switched out of the circuit. Others were… eh, to the point I pretty much quit using them on my boards. Fractal's models are better as far as I'm concerned because they don't suck the tone out, they are easily configured and adjusted to our liking, and, the ability to have them auto-engage is very nice.I've never used a real wah pedal before, so I wanted to know how the wah blocks in Axe-FX III compare to the real wah in terms of sound quality.
I didn't because I hadn't used the analog crybaby since converting to the axe fxYou could also just buy a Mission expression pedal…
Both of those options are available. You can also assign an FC switch to engage the wah.I have been looking at getting the EV-1. How do Wahs, etc. work as far as the pedal is concerned? Do you have to switch to a scene with the Wah active or can you set it to be activate/deactivate only when you move it from heel or toe down position?
I love my Dunlop EVH wah. I set my FM9 Crybaby to match the EVH (using Sweetwater's chart) and now I like the FM9 wah even more than the EVH. Fractal wahs are insanely good.
