Ibanez WH10V3 | Classic Reissue Wah pedal

Ibanez has reissued a classic from the 1980s, the Ibanez WH10V3 Classic Reissue Wah, with several upgrades for the modern guitarist. The original pedal was a favourite of John Frusciante, who loved the way it allowed him to control how the pedal responded to feedback.

Guitar and Bass Switching

The WH10 series remains a top choice for musicians due to its unique features. It includes a guitar/bass switch that shifts between two preset frequency ranges, each tailored for its respective instrument. Unlike typical inductor-based wah pedals, the WH10 was the first to use a multiple feedback op-amp circuit, producing a distinct and unconventional tone.

Upgraded Modern Touches

The WH10V3 offers a volume boost for added control and versatility. It features a selectable bypass mode, allowing players to choose between true bypass and buffered bypass depending on their setup. The unit is built into a rugged, die-cast aluminium alloy housing, finished in a sleek black for durability and style.

Staying true to the original, it includes a depth control for adjusting the wah intensity and a dry output to mix the clean signal with the effect. Modern updates like the switchable bypass and reinforced enclosure make the WH10V3 a reliable choice for demanding use on stage or in the studio.
