What is a wah wah guitar?

I think you mean "what is a wah wah pedal?". There is an accessory which is a pedal for guitar. You rock it back and forth and what results resembles the sound of exactly that, wah wah. It is made by changing the tone of the guitar back and forth from treble, or a high sound, to bass, or a low sound. Listen to a song by Cream called "White Room" for a great example.


Should you place the distortion or overdrive box before or after the wah pedal when setting up a guitar rig?

most players do either, theres no 'right way' just like no right way to play the guitar itself...each give a slightly different sound. The function of a distortion pedal is similar to the preamp gain stages in a regular guitar amp. All of the classic wah sounds were produced in this manner: 1. guitar 2. wah 3. guitar amp 4. speakers If you put the distortion first, you will not get the classic wah sound. In addition, every guitar multi-FX processor made puts the wah before the overdrive/distortion in the FX chain. Many of these processors put the overdrive/distortion AFTER the preamp gain stage which is in the effects loop of a typical guitar amp. You would start at your guitar and go guitar-distortion-wah-amp. Because you want to wah a distorted signal, not distort a wah. If you distort the wah, you're not really getting the right effect. It makes a big difference.

How do you play like a stone with out a wah wah pedal and still make it sound the same?

That's a good question, he uses a wah-wah during the receding parts of his notes...but you wont get the exact same sound as he does it without a wah-wah. but the best thing you can do to get it close is to do bend and while you're bending the end of the note close it in with a whammy. buy a wah wah pedal. but even with the wah-wah pedal, it is unlikely that you will ever get close to being able to play like Tom Morello.
