Blended from circuit-archetype lineage, dynamic feel, tone-signal overlap and tone-vector distance — the tone vector itself is derived from editorial description text, not a measured acoustic signal, so this reflects how similarly the catalog copy describes the two, not a lab measurement. Shown only within a gear class, and only where there's enough evidence to be meaningful.47% — somewhat different

The Friedman No More Tears Gold-72 Wah is a premium wah pedal delivering vocal, throaty wah character with user customization options not found on standard wah pedals. A three-position sweep switch hidden under the treadle selects between different sweep voicings. An Allen screw under the heel adjusts treadle tension to taste. Switchable buffered bypass and true bypass modes are both transparent. Covers Hendrix-style vocal wah, cocked nasal resonance in the Schenker tradition, and expressive sweeping lead wah.
The Vox VRM-1 Real McCoy Wah is a faithful recreation of the legendary 1960s Clyde McCoy wah, the first wah pedal ever made, developed with input honoring the original creators. It is renowned for its iconic nasal voice and emphasized midrange, imparting a warm, melodic, vocal quality ideal for expressive lead guitar. Subtle modification of the inductor coils enables that classic nasal tone, and larger carbon film resistors with carefully selected capacitors deliver a warm, smooth sweep. It runs on battery with long life. Rather than a bright or aggressive modern wah, it captures vintage warmth and a singing midrange. It suits players chasing authentic 1960s wah tones, classic rock and blues lead expression, and a warm, melodic, vocal wah character in a vintage-styled pedal.
