🎸 What Is Wah-Wah
📐 Principle
Rocker mechanism pedal — foot rocks forward/back, changing filter frequency. Forward (toe) = bright. Back (heel) = dark. Smooth motion = characteristic "wah" effect. Invented 1966 — one of the first guitar effects.
🎵 Sound
"Crying" (slow). "Quacking" (fast rhythmic). "Talking". Fixed position = "cocked wah" — tonal filter (Schenker, Knopfler). From subtle to aggressive.
🎯 Who Uses
Hendrix: Voodoo Child. Clapton: White Room. Hammett: Enter Sandman. Slash: Sweet Child. Frusciante: funk. Morello: aggressive. Wah = iconic rock effect.
🔧 Types
