Looking for the best wah on the market? Maybe this is it. Here is the CAE MC-404 through a clean channel, through a filthy high gain channel, and in front of a Fuzzfaceless MKI Tonebender PTP clone. (Write to fuzzfaceless@gmail.com for enquiries on these). The Story: I needed a good wah quick for a rehearsal and gig in two days time. There was no time to do the usual cork sniffery thing, I just wanted the best I could lay my hands and this just happened to be available (thank you god). I’m VERY pleased with it. Two Fasel inductors and an MXR 401 Line Driver complete the best sounding wah I’ve certainly ever used. See what you think. For this clip I used three guitars: A Clapton signature, Floyd Rose Redmond Model 5 and a Burny SG. The SG and Clapton both feature Mick Brierley’s amazing pickups. See www.brierleyguitarpickups.com.au/ for more on them. Also in this clip you’ll see my latest pedal acquisition, a FuzzFaceless MKI. I cannot tell you how cool this thing is. FuzzFaceless is from the UK. Write to my friend TC at fuzzfaceless@gmail.com for more info. As usual, my trusty Laney VC50 amp did the honours with a Violet Design ‘The Amethyst’ condenser slammed up against its right Greenback to record the happy event. Enjoy. Wukka Wukka.

You’ve got a nice pearled paint job. You’ve got your 18’ sized chrome mags. You’ve got an interior job that looks like a dream. But all of that would be superficial if you don’t have a good car stereo system in your ride.

A good car stereo system is a marvel to experience, just like a poorly constructed car stereo system is such a pity to look at. The price is a big factor, but not all expensive hardware perform well if installed haphazardly, or if hooked up with incompatible hardware. It is also subjective, just as some of us find black cars more appealing than other color cars. If you like your car stereo system more than any other in the same vehicle, then you have the best.

If you like some other car stereo system more than yours in the same vehicle, then that one is better. Only you can decide which is best for you. For a car stereo system to be a good or great, it must first meet or exceed the user’s expectations.
