VOX and Joe Satriani present the Big Bad Wah

[MikeBassil]

2:27, lol

[skylorz]

Does it have a true bypass?

[metalfoxkid12345]

@skylorz Thats wat i want to know.. Since it's not mentioned, i guess it is not true bypass.

[LonelyScorpio1000]

What song is Joe playing?

[Scopitone7]

BBW gets here on friday, cant wait!

[lucrosss]

This guy is one of the god of the electric guitar

[ryevick]

I really wish I had got this wah instead of my Dunlop Hendrix wah... might be time to do my first ebay sale...

[stratcat28]

I like joe's thrashed beenie/hat!

[RocknDrTom]

I like Joe a lot, but why does he always wear hobo lampshades on his head?

[TinManSixtySix]

Two inn doctors?

[VanHoutenism]

I collect wah wah pedals and I must say of the ones I own this is by far my favorite! I really like being able to control 2 different wahs for differetn things. Use to I would have to use a regular Vox for my classic "wah" sound and if I wanted a really DEEP nasty low ended way I'd have to use a bass wah or a Ibanez Weeping Demon. With this I can have both and doesn't take up THAT much space on my board. Mine has never given me a problem and I love it.! :D

[deathscythekim729]

JOe should endorse his signature hat

[007theAlien]

I heard this pedal has alot of problems with scratchy pots over time.

[general1968]

Man! The pedal is broken and it's like almost unused! Have to send it back to the shop . Hope to get a new one.

I'm starting to believe ShadowLancer128...

[jasonism123]

what's joe's shoes? what brand? anybody know?

[Matizz227]

@jasonism123 FALLEN

[MrMerbor]

i have read that the battery holder thing falls off sometimes. (wanted to link it i coulndt find it again. Was some German homepage looked preatty professional)

[MetalzShredah550]

@MrMerbor It does, mine falls out all the time. Not really dependable, if I were you, I'd replace it. It's what I'm doing. Also, the pot is scratchy. Other than that, sounds awesome.

[megamegamario13]

does anyone know what sorta hat that is?

[Poowetisnub]

TO EVERYBODY WHO WANTS TO KNOW THE NAME OF THE SONG IN THE BACKGROUND

Go onto the vox website, go onto artists, scroll down to joe satriani, and on the right it wil say 'Exclusive Satriani Vox Tracks' and this song in the video is called BBW3 mix

if you want, thumbs this comment up so everybody can see it, only if you want though i'm not bothered about asking for the thumbs up, just for the curious people :)

[hylkedegitarist]

[IAIN19760]

[Sushiwii]

He could play Voldemort in Harry Potter's movies

[MultiFunkmeister]

Satriani is a blonde :)

[zvegasz]

Buy a steadycam ffs.

[kitatube07]

He talks toooo much for trying to sell a pedal, we all want to hear the pedal not his voice, well... maybe someone here preffer the BLUE T SHIRT!!!!! OMG!!

if it is that great wah PLAY it please.

[fasionroadkill]

I can't decide between a line 6 dl4 or a time machine delay :o

[EmilEchal]

i want his T shirt !

[Poowetisnub]

I have this pedal, and let me say this to anybody who wants to buy this or is contemplating buying it, YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED! this is the best pedal i have EVER bought, this and the satchurator are an amazing pair to use. This pedal on it's own can transform your sound to a completely new level

[Thompsongast]

@Poowetisnub

so right, i have it a week now, it's too damm awesome :P

[impala666]

how's the durability of this wah? constructed well?

[montaramike]

Nice sound

BTW the shaky vide sucks!

[Poowetisnub]

Buying this pedal tonight, hope it is amazing as it looks :) i cannot stop thinking about the song in the background from 20 seconds and onwards, is it just an improv?

[jwk333]

Uhm.... #1 im buying one this week! but WHAT SONGS ARE THOSE IN THE BACKGROUND? besides the chickenfoot.. sadly i dont recognize them !

[xo1tom1ox]

Your voice sounds very familiar lol...I think I know someone who sounds just like Joe but most definatley cannot play like him :P The Big bad wah is a nice pedal I tried it real nice VOX has a really good reputation and great products highly recomend any of their products

[JohnGuitarSolo]

Joe Satriani ROCKS !!!!

Loving this music video

John

[conanteo78]

I just bought this pedal from the stores. I love to play satriani songs....and really love this wah. Best wah pedal on the planet! Definitely useful feature is the deep tone effect.....thanks to vox and satriani.

[conanteo78]

I just bought this pedal. I love satriani. And this is the best wah pedal in the world right now to me. hehehe! i love the deep tone feature which balances those sharp peak screams.

[James57433]

ur right there :) I am happy with what I have got Cry Baby Wah...

[James57433]

ur right there :)

[BaneOfXistence4]

Buy two! Joe is hilarious.

Imagine using two wah pedals.........?

[TheLydianRocks]

nevermind i found the tracks he is playing in the background, awesome!

[agm2004]

did you find an actual song name for the one at 0.20? He had msgd me on twitter about it, that it was something from his next album.

[TheLydianRocks]

p.s does anybody have the actual music from 0.20?? im pretty sure its not released but something tell me it might be on 1 of the Japanese bonus tracks or something. im probably wrong as im pretty sure i have everything by satch, but help would be appreciated ; )

it really rocks! he should release it!!

[TheLydianRocks]

i think Joe is the greatest guitarist in existence, but his pedals do suck a bit, maybe they dont and maybe its just that we all expect some crazy new age gadget without thinking that just because we look as satchs music as space age does not mean he needs space age gadgets to get that sound.

i know that didnt make much sense but meh i think people expect something that will make em sound like satch without realizing that satch is the reason he sounds like satch, not the pedals.

get a morley.

[b4rf3r]

What is the song in the background at the beginning of his "speech"

[GregHM81]

Do you know the secret about this wah?? It's a phone!!

[ashy43]

firstly joes my favorite guitarist, secondly i bought a big bad wha, and.......... its crap!!!!! its scratchy, its noisy and the sweep? wot sweep ?? its open or closed!! joe this has your name on it sort it out!! cheep components!! otherwise still think joes the best, listen to him every day, but if your after a wha buy a cry baby and save £60!!!

[Heinrick192]

his eyes are soooo blue damn

[Satch21Freak]

i think someones in love!! j.k. he's bad ass

[Satch21Freak]

hey i got a question for anyone out there who knows, i got a time machine a satchorator and the big bad wah! in what orrder from guitar to amp should i plug them in?? thanks

[ashy43]

Satch21Freak you want guitar to wha to satchurator (with the pad switch up) to delay, any other fx you add put them between satchurator and delay hope this helps my friend

[Satch21Freak]

thanks!  i had the satch in line first it sounded liek shit now the wahs first its 100 times better thanks

[TrueDeva]

I have only the satchurator one. But according to my experiance, the wah pedal need to be first in EVERY effect chain. And the echos and delays are usually the last ones in an effect chain. So the correct order is:

Wah-Saturator-TimeMachine.

As i can see satch uses the same what i described above. See at 0:24

[JamesOface]

hah he looks like a smash bros. outfit swap from his original red cloths :p

[knowhandedbob]

no joe your the king of wah

[hirshburger13]

whats the song at :20? it sounds so awesome!

[FrodoBaggins44]

Love the way Jon turned up the blue in this, it makes Joe's eyes look incredible. You can see the difference in the other vidoe where the blue is not enhanced.

[PneRobinho619]

Maten123 it's called Turnin' left, it's off the Chickenfoot album and it's certainly not the only good track on it.

[SurTensionMusic]

He has very beautiful blue eyes, why does he wear glasses everytime ?

[ShadowLancer128]

1. Its his signature look.

2. His eyes may have great color, but he usually looks EXTREMELY tired, as if he had been working out for the whole day.

[delarge2001usa]

@SurTensionMusic

Because with his sunglasses he seems 20 years youger!!!

[Maten123]

Aynone know the name of the song around 4:40? I feel like learning that =P

[Bridgebain]

"Turnin' Left" by Chickenfoot..........great, great release by an All-Star Band...get it, learn it, be it.

[VOXampsforever]

Hello, from VOX! We've actually had no reports of such quality problems, and there are no known issues with this pedal. Checking in on Harmony Central this morning, the user reviews are overwhelmingly positive. Where did you hear this statistic? Thanks for writing.

[ShadowLancer128]

this was statistic was given to me from a friend who claimed he read it in a guitarcenter magazine. Now that I have confirmation from a VOX representative that its issues are repaired, sir, you will soon have another purchase from me. Thank you for being responsible enough to respond to us commenters! Thats hard to find nowadays.

[TheZeatchurator]

@VOXampsforever

[shutthehellup6666]

@VOXampsforever u can check on utube just search vox big bad wah review and this guy said u used very bad parts and its started making a crappy sound

[ShadowLancer128]

@VOXampsforever Just so you guys know- I made the purchase not too much longer after I made that comment, and btw, I heard that stat from another review of it, The guy's username is PatricioDeLaRosa.

I think his problem is just in poor international shipping and/or handling.

I purchased it way long ago and although it's dusty from sitting around (Even though I use mine everyday or so), It still works JUST fine. I just can't seem to notice what the 10db boost does.

[MuppetJunior]

@ShadowLancer128 About the boost, it's not a huge change it does, but it's something. To me it sounds a little more bity and clear. I find it really good for those Hendrix kinda things and rythm, where I use the "standard" wah when soloing.

Really great pedal by the way, I love mine!

[ShadowLancer128]

@MuppetJunior oh so its basically a thinner voice to the sweep?

I never noticed, but one things for sure, once I flip the voice switch up and hit the old Vox inductor, I get that stratocaster wah going.

[MuppetJunior]

@ShadowLancer128 I wouldn't call it thin, but the sweep is more bity and more focused on the high end rather than the low end. That's my thoughts anyway.

[DreamInTheMagma]

@MuppetJunior Hi! I see you're really satisfied, I just got this pedal and I am wondering if you had some problems with this pedal. I saw a video here on YouTube and it told me that it starts to make some scratchy sounds after some time. Is that true? Thank you for replying, enjoy the music.

[ShadowLancer128]

And I'm going to purchase the Ice 9 Overdrive this year for Christmas.

[11slash711]

@VOXampsforever I heard there was a problem with the pots used in the wah. apparently they were scratchy right out of the box. but you could only hear it when you used it with a clean channel on an amp.

[TheHockeyCentral]

@ShadowLancer128 I've had the pedal for 2 years and I've had no problems with it. Don't know where you got the 70% breakage rate from, man.

[ShadowLancer128]

I actually bought the pedal shortly after having made that comment, and I got it off of a guitarcenter blog about it. (little did i notice it was a GUITARCENTER blog. lol.)

I've had mine for somewhere around a year. It hasnt broken once.

although i notice that now whenever i turn it on, the wah textures come out even though my guitar volume is turned off. weird, huh?

[rainydayrecess]

Please VOX, stop with the video efx.

Great pedal btw.

[CaptnDirt]

No kidding, I remember my first video camera, lol!

[TheLoneShenanigan]

Joe should get some chrome contact lenses; that would be cool.

[halcon7000]

Is this the first time in 20 years I notice his eyes are blue?

Are they really?

Nice peda,l I'm getting one because is time to leave the cry baby alone.

[Jed9133]

his eyes is blue..

[brosaguitar]

His eyes ARE blue ;-)

[kharlos84]

is right about people using the wah

[savagesnephew]

i wish he would demo it more

[agm2004]

what song is being played with the drums and that at around 0:20 ?

[GuitarZero95]

Joe seems like such a humble guy.

[mLaNo96]

this is dr evil

[ShuguProductions]

Joe wears Fallens! Sick!

[robibm2003]

Looks like a cool wah pedal. Too bad it is probably out of my price range.

[youneedguitarlessons]

Wah sucks, & Joe don't know Jack about wahs !! Drean on.

[Taraalcar]

I never noticed how blue his eyes are.

Maybe that's not the kind of thing I should be noticing. Don't get the wrong idea.

[xcaluhbration]

I never noticed he had eyes. He always has those Squirtle shades on.

[TakaraGold]

Not getting the wrong idea, quite funny though. The thing is that the video has a blue filter, like a blue-enhancer if you will. If those were real then probably Satch really is the silver surfer, or some other alien entity. hehehe.

[Taraalcar]

You mean he's not really an alien entity? Ha ha, you're funny, like any HUMAN could make the sounds he does..

[SearchInSun]

:P Venus?

[IamGuitars]

Holy shit man, theyre like the same friggen color blue as his shirt. YIKES

[MetalMessiah625]

and his hat !

[TheLydianRocks]

@IamGuitars its called a blue filter lol

[IamGuitars]

I know thanks.

[TheLydianRocks]

@IamGuitars know what? lol im sorry did i reply to you or something??

and AWESOME i found all the tracks in this vid :D didnt know he released them

[hylkedegitarist]

@TheLydianRocks can you please tell me what the tracks are? I need to find out =p

[NathanKRobinson]

@Taraalcar His eyes aren't actually that blue, the saturation has been turned up on the video, so all the bright colours stand out more

[wanaplayrough]

@Taraalcar

thats what I was thinking, I believe they have used a blue fliter on the camera

[taztherocker]

@Taraalcar maybe because he wears shades all the time.

[Thompsongast]

@Taraalcar

9/10 times you see him he wears sunglasses :P

[GrooveJuiceGoody]

@Taraalcar It's probably the colour correcting making them super blue, but they are pretty blue! :P

[GuitarsOfArp]

@Taraalcar well he´s always using sunglasses

[studio7theband]

Whoa, he has really ble eyes!!

[ByronWarfield]

I tell you what, that will be the first wah that I try & get my hands on. That's got the best of everything!!!

[hylkedegitarist]

Can someone please tell me what song is played at 0:20 and 6:10?

[Axeshredder]

Its Just Joe Jamming

[evh5150316]

It's a little rendition of the breakdown in Chickenfoot's Get it Up

[TheLydianRocks]

@evh5150316 ?? no it isnt, what part are you talking about? its just joe jammin

[evh5150316]

Yes it's just him jamming. But listen to Chickenfoot's Get it Up and listen to the breakdown section after the solo. Tell me that THIS doesn't SOUND like that.

I'm not saying the he was playing it note for note. But definitely ALONG THE SAME LINES.

[TheLydianRocks]

@evh5150316 i dont think it sounds anything at all like get it up, you might be thinking of the technique he is using, the descending trem picking stuff, but thats not the same as saying the songs sound the same, if anything it sounds more like a faster version of rasberry jam delta. practically the same chords. not trying to be a douche, i was just wondering why you thought that, but its cool, i get what you mean, he does a very similar trem picking run in both, pure satch ; )

respect :D

[evh5150316]

All depends on the ear right?

Either way we can agree.....SATCH RULES!!!

[TheLydianRocks]

@evh5150316 agreed dude, respect to you. I found them last night anyway, didnt think i would get lucky but i did, want me to post a link?

[danhashmi]

Sorrry for butting into the conversation but it would be AWESOME if you could post the link to the tracks :D :D

[Topunga81]

I wanna know where Joe gets those hats, their awsome!

[prajmuss]

He makes them himself

[Godoi96]

for real o.O ?

[prajmuss]

yeah, i read somewhere about it

[youztuber5000]

he takes the chrome away from the pedal? that doesnt make sense, why would satch do that?

[JS1200RULES]

Loved the background improv as well - he should make a record based on it IMO.

[JS1200RULES]

Very comprehensive and detailed breakdown of the pedals function.

I liked the humour as well, but please lose the shakiness \m/

See you live hopefully soon Joe!

[FrodoBaggins44]

Joe you look fab in blue

[foukiou]

stop the shakes :x

[JeanEstienne]

Happy Birthay Professor Satchafunkilus !!! I saw you at Montreux with Chickenfoot and it was the best concert which I have never seen!!!

[guitarnoize]

aaaaah shaky camera making me feel ill!

[DeadSton3]

Happy Birthday Profe Satch

[Longhorn959]

O yeah
