Citation/mention fame — how often this gear is cited across artist rigs and gear discussion.The Ibanez WH10 is a legendary wah pedal from Ibanez renowned for its distinctive vocal midrange sweep with a more honky, forward quality than traditional Dunlop or Vox wahs. The WH10 uses a different filter circuit topology producing a narrower, more aggressive sweep concentrated in the midrange. Famous users include John Frusciante of Red Hot Chili Peppers and Jonny Greenwood of Radiohead. Originally discontinued, the WH10 became highly sought on the vintage market before Ibanez reissued the V3.
The Vox V846 Vintage is a faithful recreation of the legendary 1966-1968 Vox V846 wah pedal from Vox (Korg Japan), capturing the aggressive, wider sweep and pronounced high-end of the original Italian-made inductor-based wah used by Jimi Hendrix and early Eric Clapton. Considered the second iconic Vox wah after the V847, it delivers the nasal, forward midrange cry of classic psychedelic rock.
