Wau Wau Fuzz
The Excetro Wau Wau Fuzz is a captivating blast from the past, a meticulously crafted fusion of vintage Japanese tone-sculpting magic. This pedal is a time capsule, transporting us back to the golden age of fuzz and wah, when adventurous guitarists were pushing the boundaries of sonic expression. At its heart, the Wau Wau Fuzz combines a transformer-based wah circuit with a Univox Superfuzz-inspired octave fuzz. The fuzz section, powered by 2SC828 transistors and germanium diodes, offers two distinct tonal voicings, selectable via a dedicated footswitch. Explore the scooped mids for a classic, snarling fuzz tone or the flatter response for a more aggressive, in-your-face attack. The wah treadle operates in a delightfully unconventional manner, with bass frequencies at the toe-down position and treble at the heel-down – a quirky twist that lends the Wau Wau Fuzz a unique sonic signature. While some players have modified the pedal for a more standard wah sweep, the factory orientation adds a captivating vintage charm. What truly sets the Excetro apart is its seamless integration of fuzz and wah. The ability to use these effects independently or in tandem opens up a world of expressive possibilities, from searing lead tones to thunderous rhythm work. Legends like Jimi Hendrix and Frank Zappa would have reveled in the Wau Wau Fuzz's versatility and character. This Japanese OEM gem, functionally equivalent to the iconic Ibanez Wau Wau Fuzz, is a must-have for any guitarist seeking to unlock the secrets of the past and forge their own sonic path into the future.
