Two words: Voodoo Chile.
If you’re not already singing the riff in your head, understand - the tone produced by one James Marshall Hendrix is legendary. The wah-wah pedal was just invented when Hendrix burst on to the scene in 1967. And to this day, few players names are more synonymous with killer wah leads and wicked, wah-driven syncopated rhythms.
The Wah pedal that Hendrix used was a 60s design by the Thomas Organ Company and was manufactured by JEN in Italy. This is the unmistakable wah tone heard on many Hendrix classics and is the tone that all wah pedals are held up against.
Because Rock n Roll isn’t just about sounding good (note, bassist Noel Redding was hired to the Experience because Hendrix liked his hair) - the Jimi Hendrix Signature wah reproduces classic wah tones with a 100% authentic, vintage look. With a flashy chrome top and sleek black Italian crinkle finish aluminium body. From its eye-catching look to its mind-bending sound, everything about this wah just screams Hendrix.
“I really thought I was pretty good before I saw Hendrix, and then I thought: Yeah, not so good.” Brian May
