Question: What's the proper way to use the Dunlop Original Crybaby Wah Pedal !?
Do you move back and forth with tempo!? And also, if the axis is too tight, do I have to get used to it, or can maybe loosen it!?

When I use a wah, I usually rock it with the tempo, yes!. Just like you're tapping your foot to the beat!. And as you do that, you just do a fast strum, just a straight strum, like sixteenth beat or eighth!. And it works if you do it while you alternate between holding a chord and holding that chord silenced!. You know the way you hold the A form up the neck somewhere like you do when you're sort of doing a blues improv!. Try this, hold the first four strings down on the fifth fret with your pointer finger!. Now strum it straight and fast, while you rock your foot to a beat!. Now alternate between holding the strings down on the fretboard, and letting up a little bit like you're silenceing them, and see what you get!. A nice A minor blues chord with a chunky wah!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
