is this the last great taboo?

I'm getting ideas for a footgrind band. Need to find a projector and film loops of dirty socks.
At the height of the show drop a laundry hamper on the audience?

I use an old Colorsound Wah. Noisy but the best of 70-s porn wakka.

I am a big fan of the Wah, love it to death. I have been using an Italian made Jet Cry Baby that was cheap as chips (about £30) back in the early 90's. The pot has just started to get scratchy. Might try and swap it out or give something new a bash. Like the Idea of the all singing Boss thing.
Don't look at me I'm irrelevant!

I was skipping through posts, so I apologize if I've ever missed the mention of Wilson Wahs. But aside from the RMC Teese stuff, the Wilson wahs are one of the hottest wahs at the present. I have a Teese Picture wah which is a great all around vintage voiced wah. But I am really gassing for a Wilson 12 position Rippah Q with Vintage specs. It even has the Colorsound wah setting. Check the demo:

I use an old '70s colorsound that i got at the beginning of the economic crisis when the pound was down against the dollar. it actually came from malta of all places, but the auction was in pounds.
i'm not sure if it's my favorite sounding wah, but after using it, i can't go back to other pedals with a smaller throw. i have also modded it for increased output and bass response. it came stock with true bypass and nasty decomposing foam that took the better part of an afternoon to clean out.
