Wau Wau Machine
The Selmer Wau Wau Machine is a delightfully quirky and expressive wah wah pedal that will add some serious attitude to your guitar tone. Unlike the typical wah, which uses a rocker pedal, the Wau Wau Machine features a treadle-style design that puts you in direct control of the filter sweep. By gently rocking your foot back and forth on the wide, smooth treadle, you can create a wide range of vowel-like "wah" tones, from a subtle warble to a raunchy, talking-guitar effect. The treadle's extended range of motion gives you incredibly precise control over the filter's frequency, allowing you to sculpt your tone with a level of finesse that's hard to achieve with a standard rocker wah. But the Wau Wau Machine isn't just about the treadle - its circuit also has a unique character all its own. The filtering is bold and aggressive, with a slightly nasal, mid-focused tone that cuts through the mix. It's the perfect companion for ripping lead lines, funky rhythm parts, and anything else that could use an extra dose of personality. While the Wau Wau Machine may not be a household name like the Cry Baby or the Vox, its distinctive sound and hands-on control make it a hidden gem that deserves a spot on any serious guitarist's pedalboard. If you're looking to add some spice and expression to your tone, this is one wah wah that's definitely worth checking out.
