I haven't used wah in almost 20 years, but I'm about too again.
Do I have to push in a button on my controller first, and then go to the expression pedal when I want to use the Axe Wah's?

Ok, followed the instructions from this clear vid (thank you, mister Katsukuri) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vip2op6TWkc, and now I have excellent wah.
The only downpoint is that when I want to switch the wah off, I need to press the preset pedal again. Which requires some dancing. And the fees for my moves are high.
Seriously, an expression pedal with a toe switch would be handy. Any out there?
With auto engage you can set a zone (toe or back) to turn off the wah.
For expressions with a pedal switch look at mission engineering.
I can't think of one disadvantage the internal WAH block has. Or one advantage that an external wah would have over the internal WAH block.I am undecided. Both have advantages/disadvantages.

What do you think those advantages and disadvantages are?
Or one advantage that an external wah would have over the internal WAH block.
More than likely operator error on my part and set up. I use a spring loaded Mission pedal which is convenient with the auto engage. My biggest problem so far with the models is really getting the wah to hit hard like it does up front with an external wah. Seems with the models that the wah is running to homogeneous with the preset and not up front of everything. Know what I mean? Probably need a bit more time with it. Tones are fine, just tweaking the impact of the model.

one advantage can be that you free up one expression pedal for other stuff. If you are a heavy wah user you want your wah in every preset. Therefor one ep has to be reserved purely for wah. An external wah can be used any time so you don't have to decide beforehand if your preset needs a wah. Better for spontaneous jams.
Can't argue this. I find the WAH block hard to tune. I posted a collection of blk files above that I've saved over time that represent good, tuned WAH block settings. Though I pretty much use my Trey A Crybaby tuning 99% of the time now. Once you get it tuned...Other advantage can be the sound of a specific wah pedal. Some are hard to emulate or just sound better.
