Wah pedal

The Rush guitarist has joined forces with the esteemed wah maker for his latest pedal, which is filled with features for modern- and vintage-minded uses alike

Housing Burton’s signature “old-school ripped speaker” tone, as heard on For Whom the Bell Tolls, the reissue is enhanced with modern features including switchless activation and a glow-in-the-dark treadle

The “thick, cutting wah” pedal follows the reissue of Zakk Wylde Rotovibe and five Wylde Audio/MXR pedals as Dunlop polishes up the guitarist’s pedalboard mainstays

The Metallica guitarist says he uses someone else’s signature wah every time he’s in the studio

The fleet-fingered virtuoso has collaborated with Dunlop on one of the wildest Cry Babys yet

A switch on the pedal's side lets users choose between the wah and fuzz effects, with further tweaking of the latter available via a pair of controls housed beneath its bottom plate
