Who played the best Wah Wah pedal???

Honest question. EVH loved his Wah in the early days. Alot of 70's artists were having fun with it. But, as far as OUR expansive genre goes [dare I say 1980+], who did the Wah Wah best? Stevie Stevens? Michael Angelo? Steve Vai? Lemme Know.

You made it more challenging but I would say Steve Vai

The 1980+ thing? Yeah. But there has bee tons of stuff since then that has been cool. This is for YOU Manny:

Can't do the '80s+. I say Brian Robertson.

Steve Vai was the first name to come to mind when I saw the thread title. Michael Angelo is one of my favorites too.

Kirk Hammet came to mind for the more recent guitar players. At least he used to, don't follow their stuff anymore.

Stevie Ray Vaughn

Great band, inspired to spin the disc later

Joe Satriani, great stuff like Souls of Distortion

I did hear that Paul Rothcild wanted Krieger to play waa waa on the first Doors album.
Morrison said no...because in the future....the songs would sound dated.
Imagine that. Already, the pedal wasn't looked upon favorably !

I could kick myself for not thinking of Stevie.

Jimi Hendrix

Mick Box must be my personal favourite. Does he count only as a 70's guitarist?

Nobody better IMO.

I like the way Jerry Cantrell used it on early AIC songs.

Kirk Hammett. AND A RIOT OF LAUGHTER BOILS FROM THE CROWD.

Seriously. No one does it like Hendrix. Hell, he's the reason I bought a wah pedal in the first place.
