Hey everyone, I know a lot of people have commented on this same problem, as far as i read I couldn't find a solid solution for anything that i haven't tried. So i wanted to report my findings.. first of all, here is the issue: everything works and sounds great until i switch on the wah, as soon as i do, the volume (at least) triples. it gets so loud it is unusable. I've checked my volume pedal so that its at 0-100% and i've tried different wah models to see if it was the same, i've also played with the wah volume too but it still sounds nothing like it should. The one thing that i did find out that worked (that shouldn't have made a difference) is moving the volume pedal from PRE to POST. when i do this, the wah volume goes to 'normal' (even with no adjustments to the wah itself), unfortunately, i don't like the change in tone when i move the volume pedal. has anyone found any other solution to this problem?
So when you use the volume pedal, you don't like the tone? If you don't use the volume pedal, it shouldn't matter whether it is PRE or POST. Do you have the volume pedal settings like max volume modified? If you have it set to anything but 100%, you might get a volume change when going to wah because the volume pedal has been disabled (sending the signal to 100%) to enable the wah. I'm just guessing, but check it out.
