The guy in Khruangbin uses flats and changes them once a tour. Jump to 5:48.

He also keeps a cocked wah (so essentially quite an extreme EQ) on at all times.

Yes, but I don't think it's cocked all the time, unless I'm mistaken.

I may have misremembered but he was saying that with round wounds it would sound far too bright but with his flats it brightens it up.

Always sounds great though and his playing is just superb. One of my favourite bands of recent years without a doubt.

Right, he has it on all the time but not cocked (half position)

Ah I've got the wrong wah terminology.

So when it's "on" but not cocked, does it still brighten the sound?

Yes. Or at least thinner.
