Special features of the Big Bad Wah:
• Dual mode wah
Here’s how it works. Wah 1 is a fixed wah. This wah sound is based on the classic
VOX wah sound only hot-rodded to Joe’s specs. You’ll notice the incredibly smooth
sweep of this wah from low to high. We spent a lot of time on that with Joe, so we
hope you enjoy it! Wah 2 is where you can have a lot of fun customizing your ideal
wah tone with the Drive and Voice controls. Those controls only apply to Wah 2. So
you can create your own sound with Wah 2 then switch back and forth between Wah
1 and Wah 2 with the aptly named Wah 1/2 foot switch. The Big Bad wah is truly two
wahs in one!
• Two Inductors
The inductor is a gumdrop-shaped component that is the “heart” of a wah pedal’s
character. Throughout the history of the wah, particularly the most sought-after vin-
tage VOX wahs, the inductors have changed. Modern, US-made wahs often use dif-
ferent inductors than were used in the first VOX wahs. This is why different wahs
sound different from each other, and why people collect different types of wahs. The
Big Bad Wah has TWO inductors—a UK-style inductor, designed like our classic VOX
inductors, and a US-style inductor, designed to perform like modern, American
inductors. With the Big Bad Wah, you can choose your favorite inductor by pressing
the Inductor button.
• VOX/JS Custom Pot
The Big Bad Wah features a custom pot designed specifically for this wah to Joe Satri-
ani’s specifications. The pot is the component that controls the “sweep” of the wah
