Posted: Tue Mar 04, 2008 6:34 pmAnyone want to swap their Teese RMC3 for my Supa Quack? I'm looking for a wah where I can tweak the tone.

Both were LE versions (some vintage parts) so maybe that played into it. One was phenominal and one was just OK. Just thought I'd pass that along.
Hi EJ,
Curious as to what BJF dist/OD you use most with the Supa?
I have a LE as well, I find the more compressed the fuzz or distortion the less compatable it is.
It seems to react better when a heavy distortion pedal has a more open feel.
Like you say maybe all the LEs are slightly different.

Hey cabo!
Overall, I think my Supa Quack works best with medium over drives like the Baby Blue, the Sparkling Yellow, and my Landgraff DO. That said, it also works great with virtually all of my distortions. The only issue is with some really heavy fuzzes (mostly D*A*M pedals). Anyway, I think you're right when you say the more compressed it is, the less pleasing the tone. I'd love to drop a foxrox buffer into it, but I'm scared it would mess with the tone somehow. I've heard Analogman sells a foxrox buffer in a stand alone box. It'd be nice to try that. What about for you?
yeah damn those DAM tonebender types
I guess alot can depend on how the drives and distortions are being used as well as many other factors,,
Good thought on the AM foxrox buffer, seems worth a try.
well for myself bjfs with my SupaQ running into them,,
Fuzzes-(set full fuzz)
PPF and FRF do extremely well,,I was surprised about the FRF?s capabilities w/wah. PPF does cover more useable ground with the SQ.
the FF and SWF by themselves not so good,,covers or masks the voicing of the SQ.
CAF can be good, can be bad depending on how its set.
OD(set w/ full gain)-
SBOD probably my go to for this category. A ton of versatility available to fine tune.
LGW worked well before the SB. I liked the slight mid and compression added.
HB(set low gain/cleaner) can somehow make the SQ even smoother and creamy,, really nice for blues type solos.
Distortions (set with a lot of gain)
DRD would be my pick here,,everything seems to stay intact.
EGDM doesn?t seem mate well,,neither does the R although at lower gain settings the R seems to work.
Come to think of it Ive never tried it with the MRD,, not sure how that one does.
anyway tried to cover the good and the bad,, also most observations come from playing mostly single coils into a CS-40.
the other drives,, H,SY,BB, Ive used with the SupaQ have been ok and possibly even killer ,but they are just not dialed in and set for the sounds Im looking for w/ wah.
and again ,,, Im using a LE, and there does seem to be some variation of those.
v@12,d@dime'd,n@1:30pmish.
for pure in your face midrange howl from the depths of the black wolf during a full moon... this is the ticket.
