Dunlop Jimi Hendrix JH-1 Wah Pedal
Dunlop · pedal
The Dunlop Jimi Hendrix JH-1 Wah is a signature wah pedal designed to recreate the vocal, vowel-like sweep Hendrix used to define psychedelic-era wah tone, built on Dunlop's Cry Baby wah heritage. It delivers a wide, expressive sweep range with a voicing tuned for the searing, textured wah character heard across Hendrix's recordings, aimed at players wanting an authentic vintage-inspired wah experience tied directly to one of the effect's most iconic users.
