This documentary about the genesis and influence of the wah-wah pedal is fantastic.

Is that anything like the Taurus bass pedals that Rush, Genesis and Led Zep made famous?

Yeah, it is!

I bought a Fender fuzz/wah back in 1969/70. I didn't realize they were only 3 years old at the time. I wore it out, as I recall, about 2 years later.

This is where I thank Peter for giving me the best hour of my day, and where the rest of you sick puppies jump in and twist that genuine sentiment with your nasty gutteral thoughts.

Kinda takes the fun out it when I beat you to it, doesn't it?

Finally got around to watching it. That was awesome.
