My Top 5 list of the best wah wah pedals for electric guitars available today is here.
A wah-wah pedal is a type of guitar effects pedal that changes the tone of the output to copy the human voice.
First used in the mid 60s and favoured by the likes of Hendrix and Clapton, the wah pedal remains a mainstay of rock guitar today. Just listen to Slash using one in ‘Sweet child o’ mine’ to hear what it sounds like.
