Wau Wau Machine
The Excetro Wau Wau Machine is a time-honored wah pedal with a truly distinctive voice. Hailing from the golden age of Japanese effects in the 1970s, this classic OEM design shares its lineage with the legendary Ibanez Standard Wau Wau no. 57 and other rebranded gems. Its transformer-based circuit delivers a wonderfully vocal, expressive sweep that's a far cry from the more modern, high-gain wahs dominating today's market. What sets the Wau Wau Machine apart is its reverse sweep operation - push the treadle down to access those lush, rumbling low-end frequencies, and lift it up to unveil a sparkling, high-pass character. This unconventional behavior takes some getting used to, but seasoned players will appreciate the unique tonal possibilities it unlocks. Whether you're channeling the psychedelic leads of Hendrix or the funky rhythms of Parliament-Funkadelic, the Wau Wau Machine provides a delightfully vintage flavor that's sure to make your tone stand out. Housed in a sturdy, battery-powered chassis, this OEM pedal was built to withstand the rigors of the stage. While some examples have been modified over the years to accommodate modern power supplies, the stock configuration keeps things simple and true to the original design. Seek out this rare Japanese gem, and unlock a whole new world of expressive wah tones that will breathe new life into your playing.
