i was wondering as to how the ibanez SD9 sounds with a wah in front of it?
does it keep/maintain the wah's original sweep?
because i've played a TS9DX with a wah, and the wah didn't really cut through (so i'm sorta frightened an SD9 will do the same "trick").
is the SD9 also like that?

Have tried a SD-9 before and I think it's a better and more versatile tubscreamer (very underated) If you turn the drive all the way down, I think it sounds better than the TS-9 IMO.

thanks.
but is the sd9 any good with gain, all the way up?
i've ordered a 'fireball' so i think i'm getting an sd9 for use as my main distortion device,- will this be any good?
and how does it go with a wah?

The problem of a wah, into another pedal, losing some of its range can be helped by using a buffer of some sort after the wah & before the other pedal. Check out the wah retrofit unit that FoxRox makes. it can be installed into your wah pedal, or like I did with mine, build it into a separate box. You don't even need to use a switch, so the box will have a very clean look to it, just the two jacks.

could you post/send me a picture of your wah-retrofit-box - esp. the insides?

I find this a problem only if you use a fuzz pedal. But I never had problems with overdrives/distortion pedals.

then you obviously haven't tried running a wah into an ibanez ts9dx (on ANY other mode than the "normal" ts9-mode, where it sound ok).
my wah at the time, when i had a ts9dx, was a standard vox.
