Tonebender, right?  The Jeff Beck/Yardbirds sound ...

I haven't checked out any of the reissues.  I *really* hope they've done
the wah's correctly, since the Coloursound wah really has a unique sound
that's very different from the Crybaby (and Vox, and boutique equivalents
like the Budda, Teese, Fulltone RMC, etc.) or Morley -type wah sounds.
Sort of more "rubbery" (for lack of a better term), with a ton of "quack".

P.S. The second hit on a Yahoo! search for '+Coloursound +wah' turns up
this page:
http://www.geocities.com/sjyoules/storyofwah.html
... which is indeed Dave's old wah (a Coloursound wah/fuzz/SWELL, not a
straight wah/fuzz as I posted earlier ... and presumably a Coloursound
Superphaze was added later?  Perhaps mr. Kniveton can correct me, if he
isn't busy with the thread topic?).  It also turns up another HW chat:
http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~hwind/text/irc_second-chat-edit.htm
... and info on the Coloursound reissues can be found here:

(My old wah/fuzz is not really anything like the reissue)
