Wilson Effects 12 position Vintage Spec Rippah Q-Wah

The Wilson Effects 12 position Vintage Spec Rippah Q-Wah is another in the large line-up of killer wahs from Wilson.

Whether you enjoy the vintage quack of a 1967 Clyde McCoy wah pedal, the deep throaty tones of a Macari wah or you simply love the deep synth tones of a more modern wah. The Rippah Q-Wah allows you to dial in your favorite wah tones via the easy to access control knobs. Making your heavenly wah tone that you hear in your head just a turn of a knob away. The low end of the Rippah Q-Wah has a slightly different characteristic to it than your average wah circuit. There is a little more throat and growl in the low end which makes it ideal for the player that really wants to cut through the mix. Another advantage to the Rippah Q-wah is if you want to clean it up a bit and tame the growl of the pedal, you can by simply tuning it out. With just about every wah sound imaginable at your finger tips the Rippah Q-Wah is sure to become an effective weapon in the studio and on stage as well.

Every Rippah Q-Wah comes standard with a Depth of the sweep control at the front of the pedal. This allows you to dial in how deep the sweep in the pedal goes. While it is rather subtle from the mid point to the max it adds a little more throat to the depth of the sweep if you max it out and just the opposite when turning it down. The Rippah Q-Wah comes with twelve position Q position switch that allows you to adjust the position of the Q in the sweep. You can adjust it to a deep synth like growl to a high almost envelope filter type of sound. Also included is a growl knob at the heel of the pedal. This allows you to adjust the amount of bass and gain that is in the circuit. So whether you like to have a lot of deep throat to the sound of the wah or you like a little more quack to your sound the growl knob will help you dial in that sound you hear in your head.

Every Rippah Q-Wah comes standard with a built in fuzz buffer.  What this means is that the Rippah Q-Wah will work just as well in front of a fuzz pedal. Inside the pedal, you will notice a small blue trimmer. This is a volume control that controls the out put of the pedal so if you like your pedal at unity gain or you like to boost it up a little for a searing lead the volume control will allow you to get there.

Please take notice that there is a higher noise floor with the Rippah Circuit as well. This means that when you are playing at high gain levels you will notice more white noise.

The Rippah Q-Wah operates off of a 2.1mm center negative power supply or a high quality alkaline battery. It comes with a one year warranty on parts and labor. All of the Wilson pedals are true bypass and are built in the U.S.A.
