Otay, here's a quick and dirty little clip (http://tempusfugitives.articulateimages.com/GearClips/FonkRawkCoolMachine20090226.mp3) of George Blekas' Clean Machine. i have the cocked wah/auto wah version (he also does a wah-wah/auto wah).
The second guitar comes in clean, then flips to cocked wah for a verse, then flips to auto wah at a medium-ish speed for the solo verse, then goes to slowest speed, then fastest speed for 2 bars each for the outro.
Chapin Honey-caster (birch on mahogany body, blackwood on maple 25.5" bolt-on neck), bridge pickup - Lollar low-wind Imperial.
Krinard mod of a 100w four 6L6 '70s style D*-style head into a Fane Alnico 12". Clean channel, tone-stack bypassed. Gain cranked, Master low.
Senn 421 on the cone, Studio Projects C3 condenser about 3 feet back, a little compression added in Ableton Live 7.
Playing courtesy of Decay's Noodles with Clams Restaurant.
I like the auto-wah a hell of a lot - at slow speeds it's like a cocked wah with some swirl, and at medium speeds it's pretty vocal. Sure sign: I found myself moving my mouth in ooo-aaahs while I played with it. That's why you're not seeing a video of this - too embarrassing!
I think George is really onto something. :)
