i have learnt how to make a wah wah sound without a pedal.
keep the tone on high.
fiddle around with the volume nobs turn back pickup down or front but not all the way so when you flick the switch fast it makes a wah wah sound

I think Jimmy Page did it first :)
...so ever since then, I always hang on to the buckle.

I didn't think we were talking about pedals. Weren't you talking about using the pick up selector like a kill switch?

If you want an explanation, it's becouse both wah-wah and tone control have same construction - they work as low-pass filter :)
