The Electro-Harmonix Wailer Wah has the exact same thick and singing tones as the company's ground-breaking Crying Tone Wah but puts it in a convenient and familiar rack and pinion-style enclosure. The Wailer Wah is built with a durable polymer casing that will stand up to the rigors of the road, while removing some weight from your pedalboard. And the Electro-Harmonix Wailer Wah effects pedal is true bypass. This keeps your guitar's tone completely pure while the effect is disengaged. The Wailer Wah puts EHX's great wah tones in a familiar package.

Electro-Harmonix Wailer Wah Effects Pedal at a Glance:


Crying tone


Engineered for gigging musicians


Well-designed circuit


Crying tone





The EHX Wailer Wah effects pedal features the exact same electronics as the company's popular and ground-breaking Crying Tone wah pedal. Its deep vowel-like sweep is extremely even across its whole frequency range, allowing it to work as well for clean funk as it does for driven rock solos. Electro-Harmonix also ensured this pedal delivers an attractive cocked-wah tone when parked halfway through the treadle's sweep.





Engineered for gigging musicians





The Wailer Wah features a lot of design elements that make it a fantastic choice for gigging and touring musicians. Its casing is made from an extremely rugged polymer. This material not only protects the wah and ensures years of issue-free use, but it is also lightweight. This is an increasingly valuable trait for musicians, as traveling with heavy pedalboards is becoming more difficult every day. The Wailer Wah will stand up to your performances night after night while still saving you a few pounds.





Well-designed circuit





Sweetwater guitarists agree that the Wailer Wah features a simple yet well-thought-out circuit. The wah boasts true bypass switching. This means that when you disengage the pedal, the electronics are completely out of your signal path, keeping your guitar tone as pure as possible. The Wailer Wah electric guitar effects pedal also accepts both a 9-volt battery or power by an optional EHX 9-volt power adapter.
