	The Wah-Wah \| Line Out \| The Stranger's Music Blog \| The Stranger \| Seattle's Only Newspaper
		The typical Wah uses a ferrite core inductor to create a resonant peak in the frequency of the signal, which can then be swept up and down by rocking the pedal back and forth.
		He got that “Wah wah wah” sound, and the earth was never the same again.
		George Harrison had a song called "Wah Wah" that was a nice tribute to the pedal.

	Wah-wah pedal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A Wah-wah pedal is a type of guitar effects pedal that alters the tone of the signal to create a distinctive effect intended to mimic the human voice.
		There are two types of wah pedals: one that lets the player control the effect via a foot pedal, and one that adjusts the effect automatically according to the amplitude of the signal from the guitar (auto-wah, or envelope-followed filter).
		Guitarists of the pedal's early decades most commonly used the wah-wah on an already distorted sound, as the effect of wah-wah on a distorted sound is far more vivid than that of distortion on the output of a wah-wah.

	Wah-wah - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The wah-wah effect is a spectral glide, a "modification of the vowel quality of a tone" (Erickson 1975, p.72).
		Although this effect is thought of almost exclusively as the electric guitar wah-wah pedal, it is also used in other contexts, listed here.
		The effect was used in the '30s on "Sugar Blues" by commercial Dixieland trumpter Clyde McCoy, who built a long career around the sound, and even today has a popular wah pedal by VOX named after him.

	wah wah pedal@Everything2.com
		A wah wah pedal is essentially a band pass filter with a resonant, variable center frequency.
		Depressing the pedal toward the heel lowers the center frequency of the band pass filter, drops the resonant frequency, and makes the guitar sound more "thick", although most of the bass tone from the guitar is still cut out.
		The wah wah pedal was popularized by Jimi Hendrix who, one assumes, became aware of it during his time gigging in the UK.

	The Technology of Wah Pedals
		The original was the Vox style inductor based wah circuit, followed by others, most notably the twin-T circuit, the multiple feedback opamp active filter circuit, and most elaborate of all, the "state variable" style circuit used in the Mutron 3.
		The first transistor is a block of gain to give you an active resonance, the wah pot and second transistor modulate the effective capacitance in a resonant circuit composed of the inductor and the variable capacitor.
		If we were to put a second winding on a wah inductor, we could force DC through it from a current source circuit, which would force the "center" of the magnetic operation toward one or the other saturation points.

	Wah Wah Pedal article
		Wah pedals are enjoying a new resurgence, so I decided to write an article on them.
		Incidently, the fuzz in the Fuzz Wah is the same circuit design as the V8162 Distortion Booster introduced in May, 1969.
		I want to mention that the tone of your individual wah may be adjusted to your personal taste by simply pulling back the rubber retaining loop which applies pressure to the shaft and rotating the pot to change where the shaft engages the pot.

		When the pedal is activated, a slight hum comes into the sound, but it barely noticeable on it's own, and if you're rocking the pedal like it's designed, you can't hear it.
		The metal shell is thick, the jacks are metal, and the pedal itself is solidly connected and strong.

		If you're going for more of a 60's sound wah then this one will do it for you as it has the "Fasel inductor" that was the key to the tone of the 60's wah.
		There are a lot of wah pedals with a wider range out there but if you are looking for the traditional wah sound, this is the way to go.
		Other wahs are cool because of additional features and for their own affect (yes that is the spelling I intended).

		Dynamic sounds for guitar or bass where the amount of wah is dependent upon picking dynamics for funk Automatic up-and-down wah cycles at a fixed rate or, using Tempo mode, sync the auto-wah effect to the music by tapping the pedal to the tempo.
		Our inductor (also available as a drop-in replacement for 90% of the wah's out there for $29.95) is a tuned core hand-made unit using exactly the same type wire and inductance as the '60's era Vox, except very consistent from one unit to the next.
		The Potentiometer, the most overlooked part of the circuit, is one of the keys to a good wah wah sound and there hasn't been a proper "tapered" pot, since the '60's "Icar" in any major manufacturer's wah.

	Foxrox Wah Retrofit
		The Foxrox Wah Retrofit is a self-contained FET buffer/amp circuit that gets installed into your Wah Wah pedal, giving it the ability to cut through any Fuzz Face or Fuzz Face clone.
		By essentially installing a "real" output section, the Wah Wah pedal becomes immune to the effects of loading, restoring range and depth to older, vintage Wah wah pedals without affecting their vintage value.
		Newer, high-end "boutique" wah pedals, such as Teese RMC pedals also benefit from this mod because they are based on the same, classic inductor-based circuit.

		He was just 19 when he stumbled upon the "wah wah" trumpet sound that would bring him to prominence in the 1930s and in an odd twist of fate, ultimately led to the creation of the wah pedal.
		There are some wah connissoirs who claim that a great wah simply must have a certain combination of components to sound great.
		Oddly enough, these are usually found in the earliest examples of any effect from wah to fuzz and probably has less to do with the overall tone than some predisposition we might have to owning those original designs.

	Budda Bud-Wah Pedal, a Great Wah-Wah Pedal
		For example, take the loading and muddiness of the signal when the wah has been by-passed, the narrow frequency range and the use of sub standard parts for assembly.
		Analyzing the original "Fasel" inductor was the first measure taken to obtain the tonal sweep that made the original Vox wah the tool that it was.
		By implementing a "hardwire bypass" modification, we have been able to eliminate the wah completely from the circuit so that you retain your amp's and guitar's true tonal characteristics.

		Nothing gives the guitar a more expressive vocal quality effect than a wah pedal (save for a talk box but, those are kinda silly).
		Some of the pedals mentioned could be the D'Armond Sweeper, the Morley Volume-Wah (a fav of Larry Carlton's) or a variety of other competitors.

		When the pedal is moved back and forth, the inside of the pot moves just like a volume pot or tone pot does on your guitar.

	The Wahwactor: a voice-controlled wah-wah pedal
		A wah-wah guitar pedal contains a resonant bandpass filter with a variable center frequency that is changed by moving the pedal back and forth with your foot.
		We believe this is mainly due to the fact it takes much more time and practice to learn how to tap with your feet than to learn how to tap using your voice, not only physically but also because of psychomotor considerations.
		Further work includes reducing the latency (which actually is approximately 10 ms for sound I/O using ASIO drivers and 24 ms due to the analysis hop size), taking care of background noise to make it more robust in a real live music performance environment, and applying different mappings at different pitches.

	NG BBS — building a wah-wah pedal
		All you need parts wise is a two band EQ (bass and treb) and a mechanical transference to a pedal which causes the two dials to rotate at an inverse proportion to one another.
		A wah pedal is just a way of adjusting your eq with your foot, modulating it from bass heavy to treb heavy.
		Still, you're only going to get as good of a pedal as you put together, so make sure all the mechanical aspects have a nice solid chassis to ride on, and are built of sturdy materials that move smoothly.
