Whau Whau
The Gun Whau Whau is a true vintage gem, a wah pedal that transports you back to the golden age of Italian analog tone. Crafted in the early 1970s by the esteemed EF-EL workshop, this pedal is part of their legendary "Whau Whau" series - a line of OEM wahs that have become prized by discerning guitarists worldwide. What sets the Gun Whau Whau apart is its unique tonal sweep. Unlike standard wah pedals, this Italian marvel operates in reverse - with the treadle closed, you get sparkling treble, and as you open up, the sound morphs into rich, organic low-end. This distinctive response provides an incredibly expressive and dynamic range, perfect for funk, rock, and psychedelic styles. The secret lies in EF-EL's analog inductor-based circuit, which delivers a warm, rounded tone with a captivating midrange focus. The resonant filter sweeps through the frequencies with a smooth, vocal-like quality, responding naturally to your every foot movement. It's an organic, living effect that breathes with the music, inviting you to explore new realms of phrasing and expression. Housed in a lightweight plastic treadle, the Gun Whau Whau is a study in simplicity and reliability. Powered by a single 9V battery that's automatically engaged, this pedal is ready to go whenever inspiration strikes. Plug in, engage the mechanical footswitch, and let the Whau Whau transport you to the golden age of analog tone.
