Model #1457 Wah & Volume Pedal
Dig into the rich analog tones of the Sears Model #1457 Wah & Volume Pedal, a hidden gem from the golden age of guitar effects. This OEM version of the legendary fOXX Wa & Volume boasts a versatile design that blends wah and volume control in a single treadle-style unit. Beneath its unassuming exterior lies a captivating sonic palette, thanks to the pedal's four selectable wah voicings that transform the filter's sweep and character. Explore the expressive "Brite," the smooth "Mellow," the funky "Funky," and the warm "Mellow Plus" settings, each offering a distinct flavor to sculpt your tone. When the wah is disengaged, the Model #1457 seamlessly transitions into a smooth, responsive volume pedal - with the twist that maximum volume is achieved at the heel-down position, rather than the typical toe-down. Powered by a simple yet dynamic two-transistor circuit and the iconic TDK 5103 inductor, this pedal delivers a vocal, mid-focused wah that's a delight to play. Guitarists and bassists have long prized the Sears Model #1457 for its expressive sweep and organic, analog character - a secret weapon that has graced the rigs of countless unsung heroes. Housed in a sturdy stamped steel chassis with a felt-lined treadle, this OEM classic is a must-try for any player seeking a unique and versatile wah-volume combination.
