Ibanez WH10V3 Wah - Wah Wah Pedal

Product Information

True Bypass– Use the Ibanez Twin Peaks as part of your signal chain without muddying up your tonal quality. You should get an instant answer on whether your application has been successful, though in some rare cases Klarna or V12 may need to look at the application in more detail. Additionally, the mix of the two frequency peaks can be controlled via the balance knob on the side of the pedal, inspiring enriched levels of sonic experimentation with this exciting and entirely new pedal from Ibanez. Key Features

On the side of the pedal, you can control the amount of Wah effect coming through with the level knob, and a tone switch which switches from high to low. A cult-classic. The Ibanez WH10V3 Wah presents the third incarnation of the iconic '80s wah pedal, made famous by the legendary John Frusciante. Offering the same snappy funk tones that gave the Red Hot Chili Peppers' guitarist his mass status, the WH10V3 features an expansive frequency range that can be controlled via the depth control. So you can explore every corner of its sonic potential, or keep your sound tight and controlled. The power is with you. As far as the origin story, John was given this pedal by Ibanez, alongside two guitars, all of which he used for a brief time when he first joined the band in 1988. He ended up smashing the guitars and keeping the wah. However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers.Over the years, John tried experimenting with Dunlop Crybaby Wahs, but it seems that nothing really managed to replace the WH10. Only the Vintage Models But what makes the third release of the WH10 so special, is the addition of a true bypass option. This way, you can experience the screaming power of the original, whilst maintaining exceptional clarity throughout your unique tone. Whether you're a guitar player or a bassist - the WH10V3 delivers its sensational wah effect across both instruments, thanks to an integrated mode switch. And you can trust that it's ready for performance, with a robust die-cast housing. Celebrate Frusciante's return to the Chili Peppers, with the wah pedal he brought to fame. The only redeeming quality of this pedal, like the original, is that it sounds quite good. However it's not a clone of the original with some added features, it is a different pedal altogether (though it sounds quite similar).

For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.

Collection and delivery costs are included for the first 2 years in the event of an item becoming faulty It’s worth noting that John uses the vintage models, which are made of plastic ( the newer version is metal) and are easily breakable. In the interview above John mentions that he broke a few and was left with just one at the point when he left the band after Stadium Arcadium. Available in numerous variations, all Ibanez tubescreamer pedals are based on two overarching designs: the TS-808 and the TS9. Both have their own tonal characteristics but are similar. Despite the name, the Tubescreamer is actually a relatively low gain pedal. One of it's many uses is actually to add a clean boost to an already distorted amp, changing the harmonic content of the guitar tone in a way that lots of players love. This is John’s main Wah pedal, and the one that he has been using consistently with the Peppers, ever since joining the band. He explained that he prefers this pedal over something like a Dunlop CryBaby because Ibanez has a wider frequency range.The Ibanez Twin Peaks is a new Wah pedal unlike any other pedal before it! Most standard Wah pedals are built using a single peak point to achieve the effect, but the Twin Peaks doubles down on this sound by utilizing dual peak points at a higher and lower frequency. Dual Peak Points – On a normal Wah, the pedal has a “peak” point, where the sound changes, but with this pedal, you are able to use the balance control to set exactly where you want the dual peak points to be. Previous versions were beta testing compared to this new premium version of the Ibanez WH10. Sturdy build, funky sharp wah-wah sound and functions you can't normally find on Wah pedals in this price range. To me, this iteration is for sure, the most satisfying the WH10 will ever be. Great for funk, blues and even metal (Hendrix, Frusciante, even Vai).
