Alright, I have a budget of $250 for each. I play mainly blues-rock and the like. Cream, Hendrix, Iron Butterfly for a general fuzz tone. And just a nice blues-y wah.

For fuzz's, I've narrowed down my choices to either the Frantone Peach Fuzz or Lovepedal 200 Lbs of Tone.

For wah's, I'm looking at either the RMC Picture Wah or Wheels of Fire. I had decided on the Picture Wah, but I'm now considering the Wheels of Fire because I don't want a volume-oscillation-thing going on when I use a wah.

Opinions?

Also interested in the Analog Man Sun Face NKT as well if anyone has anything to say about that.

Currently, I'm using a Keeley Fuzz Head and a Teese Picture Wah to play this style of music. I only use the Fuzz Head for a lead boost though. I just got the Picture Wah about 2 weeks ago and I couldn't stop using it at rehearsal 2 nights ago. I've never had a wah that sounded anywhere near what I was getting out of that thing. Awesome! Honestly, you're probably going to be happy with either one of those wah choices.

Do you notice any volume oscillation when using the wah and fuzz?

I really do think I should get the Picture Wah, but gah, so many fuzzes out there.

Yeah, I'm seriously considering the Picture Wah and Sunface right now.

Not oscillation at all. I think you'll like the Pic Wah. Combined with the NKT275, it should be pretty cool. Go with your hunch or you'll always wonder how much better your tone could be. At the very least, if that combo doesn't work, you can sell it and try something else.

Alright, thanks. With this budget though, I'm not really that worried on getting a bad fuzz/wah, just worried about not getting "the bestest" one.

AM sunface is the one i think! The wah im using currently is the DOD FX17, and its right for me. but i think either of those RMC's would be great choice.
