Help! Vox wah sounds bad when using distortion. I like the sound of the reissue Vox wah-wah when in clean mode but the pedal doesn't work as well when using distortion/OD/fuzz. I found this website that has wah pedal mods http://www.green-fuz.freeserve.co.uk/wah.html and I was wondering which mod would excel at high gain situations, but would you lose that great clean wah-wah tone as a trade-off in the process?

A simplier way to resolve your problem without Modding your wha is changing the stomp box order:   Try different stomp disposition first before distortion\od\fuzz pedals and then after.   I have resolved the same problem with the VOX wha RE putting the stomps in this order:   1 guitar   2 Overdrive (a Boss SD1)   3 Wha (vox RE)   4-5 Distortion and Fuzz ( MXR D+ , EH Little BIg Muff)   6 other stuff   7 amp     Sometimes I also use the wha after the dist and mod stomps, just before the delay and amps.   Try !It won't cost you a penny!!
