I have recently moved from using taper 4 to taper 6.
I know taper 4 is the Emmons pot pedal with an Allen Bradley pot, but what has been programmed into taper 6 I am wondering? It seems to suit me better.
Is it the one with extra gain at the end if the pedal travel?
So, question is..... What do you you use?

Dave I have been using the #6 taper since it first became available -- it is a longer throw Allen Bradley type taper and I find I can drive the sustain a little better with it.

I thought that was the case, it's a great taper..
What about a wah wah taper?
Fix the volume at a set level, with a push switch to memorise your output volume on the Wah taper, then make it act like an 70's Wah Wah...
I wonder if it's possible? |

+1 for the Wah Wah and I like #6 taper.

I like the "Old style Hilton" taper, (slightly less dog-leg than the current Hilton), basically the same as a Goodrich, which is the gold standard for many, but I like the very slightly different curve of the old Hilton....very smooth.
Instead of using number 6, the extra gain taper, I just turn the amp up a bit and back off the pedal to start...I don't want to overload my amp's input with extra gain...

it depends on the room, if I need some extra high's I use #1 or if I need the extra sustain I use #6, if it's kind of a flat sounding room it's #5.
