Description

A faithful reproduction the vintage WH10 wah pedal that is fuzz friendly and gives you more sweep options Vintage WH10 tones and then some! Get your funk on!

Do you want to get the sound of a vintage WH-10? The Funk Factory is the only pedal that is capable of reproducing those vintage tones and it's built like a tank. With an accurate reproduction of the original potentiometer in a military grade case you are now able to get your funk on without worrying if you're going to break it or not. Each Funk Factory comes with a depth knob and a guitar and bass switch towards the front of the pedal. Also included the Funk Factory comes with an exterior volume control and a four position Q switch that allows you to not only get the original WH10 tone but an additional 6 tonal options when utilizing the guitar and bass switch in conjunction with the Q switch.. This means that if you are a fan of the WH-10 but you're not to keen on the volume boost you now have the ability to turn it down. You can get the same funky tones without the boost in volume! This is due to the output buffer included in the circuit design. If you're a fan of this circuit and always wanted some additional tonal options this is the wah for you! Each pedal comes equipped with True Bypass and a super bright LED on the side so you don't accidentally leave your wah on. Each pedal also contains a Wilson Effects dual gang potentiometer that was manufactured to the original potentiometer specs of the original V1 WH10. The Funk Factory operates on an industry standard 2.1mm center negative power supply or a high quality alkaline battery. All pedals are covered by a one year warranty on parts and labor and is hand built right here in the U.S. If you should happen to have any other questions about the Funk Factory please feel free to contact us via the contact form on the Home page.
