   What is a wah wah effect?

It provides us with a way of producing a spectral glide in instruments that typically wouldn't be capable of such a thing. A spectral glide, in music, is loosely defined as the modification of the vowel quality of a tone.

   How does a wah work?

   • Some modern wahs, like the highly cost effective Berhinger Hell Babe Wah, use an optical control, which means it uses lasers instead of a pot to control the filter. It also has a knob to adjust the sweep range and a gain boost. It also uses a spring back mechanism so you can do more bouncy wah effects easier.

   What is a wah on a guitar?

   • Essentially, a wah is a filter and a variable EQ boost. That pot is a peak resonance frequency filter which takes all the signal coming from your guitar and only lets a certain range of frequencies through, which will also be boosted. As you move the rotor on the pot, you’re shifting the frequency range the pot is allowing through.

   What makes a wah sound?

   • The result is known as a spectral glide, which in this case, creates a wah sound. A spectral glide can also be exemplified by making a noise with your voice and changing the tone by altering the shape of your mouth. The wah achieves the same effect with a pot and some circuitry. The pot is the most obvious part and is the most likely to wear out.

   In it’s heart, the wah is a simple effect. It’s basically a movable EQ pedal with a large 'sweep' in the sound and a pronounced midrange peak frequency. This sweep is changed and controlled in real-time by the player rocking their foot on the treadle pedal, which is the main overall form of nearly all wah pedals.

   Wah pedals are connected to a potentiometer which allows the peak frequency to sweep up and down in relation to the foot movement. The resultant sound is a definite ‘Wah’ with a strangely human-like vowel sound. There are a number of other sounds that can be achieved using a wah pedal and we’ll approach them soon but firstly, how did this effect ev...

The sound of a clean Stratocaster with funky chopped chordal riffs and an undulating wah sound is one of the guitar's most easily identifiable sounds. Again, this is probably Hendrix's influence from the aforementioned intro to the incomparable Voodoo Child (with the 'd' at the end), but f...

   A wah is a variable equalization boost pedal. It was invented by trying to redesign a midrange boost feature on an amplifier. They wanted to change the on/off switch to a pot, which would have been cheaper to produce. When they rotated the pot throughout it’s range, it made a very vocal-like “wah-wah” sound.
