The Boss PW-3 is a compact, all analog wah pedal that delivers professional wah tones in a rugged, space saving die cast chassis far smaller than a traditional wah. A slider switch toggles two voices: Vintage, which scoops the low end for a classic, squawky Hendrix and 1970s wah sweep, and Rich, which retains low end fullness for a fatter, more modern wah voice. The pedal action is long, smooth and responsive, with status LEDs on both sides for stage visibility. It suits funk, rock, blues and lead players who want a reliable, pedalboard friendly wah with both old school squawk and a fuller contemporary option, built to Boss durability standards at an accessible price.

Japanese boutique craftsmanship at its finest.
