Ibanez WH10 Wah Version 2This is known as the Frusciante wah, after the Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist. If you want to sound like him, this is the wah wah for you.I have the box and instructions, and the condition of the pedal is excellent. There is velcro on the back that can be removed if desired. There isn't really a wah wah like this, but it can be difficult to find a good tone. The pedal doesn't like clean amps, so use an overdrive channel or pedal to dial in a slightly dirty signal and that will get you the Chili Peppers sound. Throw a Boss DS2 in front of it and you'll get the Dani California solo tone. I've used it with a compressor as well to tame the tone, but prefer using overdrive. The pedal will be posted with tracking.

I ordered this pedal last year for the first time. The pot was scratchy and was crackling all the time, so I decided to replace it. Next wah comes in and everything is fine, it works great. Two weeks later, the same problem with the pot, it was crackling all the time. So, I've pretty much given up with this lack of quality of Ibanez. It is a pedal that was designed over twenty years ago and the ones that are still here today worked just fine, why couldn't Ibanez just replicate that old one and put it in a metal casing?

The pedal really sucks your tone, so it would have been better that Ibanez had fitted the pedal with a True-bypass switch which could be turned on easier! The switch that this pedal has is extremely unreliable, as you may turn the pedal on easily, or it may take you like a minute to get the thing working.Overall, I was disappointed by the pedal, since Ibanez didn't put much effort into recreating the old pedal that made history among Frusciante fans. The quality of the pedal and its components are just plain awful, and until Ibanez doesn't fix the durability of this pedal, I don't recommend you to buy it even if you are a die-hard Frusciante fan that can't wait to get one. I think that in the long run, hunting down an original pedal in Ebay would prove to be cheaper that having to constantly fix and complain about this awful pedal that Ibanez is making.

I used to own the vintage wh-10 as well as the WF-10 (fuzz) wahs, so I already knew what to expect in terms of sound. What I have to say about the reissue is that the good aspects are wonderful, but the bads can be a serious deal breaker which I'll get into.The good:The wah sounds great, especially if you are/were a John Frusciante or Omar fan. It's nice that the wah depth can be dialed in and Ibanez is wise for making it in the metal casing as you all know already. The sweep is good, the wah is synthy, and you can get a growl if you need to, and the footprint isn't as large as a standard wah.The Bad:As one of their "modern tweaks" Ibanez put in a soft engaging switch. If people return this wah I think this could be the biggest cause.

I've also asked around many people are talking about the switch being difficult so it's not a bad one I got.

I waffled on buying this for a year or so. Going for the Frusciante sound means you're going to want one of these. To my surprise, after reading a lot of negative reviews, this sounds significantly better than I expected. The new V2 enclosure is fantastic as well. If you're looking for a good wah, this fits the bill.

I used Crybabies for a number of years but I got to a point where I wanted that growly original WH-10 Frusciante wah tone, as I am a big RHCP/Frusciante fan. This pedal will give you exactly that. In comparison to a Crybaby, this wah has more growl and bite and is more versatile, as it has a depth knob and guitar/bass switch. The metal casing seems very sturdy. The switch is tough to turn on/off, as mentioned in other reviews, but these reviews, in my opinion, made it seem worse than it is. I've had the pedal for about 1-2 months now and in a few weeks I was used to the switch. If you love the tone like I did, you will persevere through this minor problem.

I'm just going to say this first: This is a great wah if you have either the time/money to mod it.I don't normally write reviews, but I think this pedal deserves one with all of its positive and negative qualities.If you're a Frusciante fan like I am then this is the wah pedal to get. Great sound and leaves a smaller footprint than other wahs.Here's where the good things stop though. When engaged, the wah is great, but when you're not using it, this thing sucks to much tone. Just imagine rolling your tone knob on your guitar all the way back and then some. It's that bad. Sometimes it fluctuates and I'll get seconds where it sounds somewhat normal, but it doesn't stay consistant. The second, most noticeable problem I experienced was the on/off switch.

Sometimes it fluctuates and I'll get seconds where it sounds somewhat normal, but it doesn't stay consistant. The second, most noticeable problem I experienced was the on/off switch. I had read reviews before buying seeing people mention how it was difficult if not impossible to turn this thing off/on. "It couldn't be that bad" I thought, but I was wrong. I was just short of jumping with my full weight onto this pedal to get it to turn off. This is totally unacceptable for a pedal that costs this much. To fix it, I tried taping a small piece of folded paper to the rubber pad that engages the switch. It fixed the problem, but now it's way too easy to turn on/off. The switch itself doesn't have any resistance or a click so it's very easy to turn off by accident when using the pedal. I think I just have to experiment with different thicknesses of paper in order to get it just right. Another thing you'll want to consider before buying is the boost in volume it gives you. This may or may not be a good thing, but it makes it very difficult to get a clean wah tone out of it.The verdict: If you can put this thing in a true bypass loop and are willing to experiment to find the perfect way to turn it on/off, then go for it. The tone makes the problems worth it. Wilson Mods does a great mod for this pedal as well (true bypasss and volume knob) so if you have the cash I would say it's a no-brainer.
I was looking for a basic wah pedal. Years ago I had a Cry Baby that I was disappointed with and so I thought I would try somthing different. I had read that John Frusciante had used the original version of this pedal on Blood Sugar Sex Magik and thought I'd give it a shot. The sound is Fantastic and it is more versatile than your basic wah. The pedal does take a bit of effort to switch on/off, but it's not that bad.
I ended up returning this after a few days, but only because of personal taste. It is easy to like, but didn't grab my attention as much as I expected. It is by no means the wah to end all wahs, but it is great if you are looking for a subtle one.With the sweep knob maxed it isn't nearly as deep as a cry baby. That's not a bad thing you just need to know that it is different, because at the same time it is easy to overdo a cry baby. But this still sounds good and there is plenty of play. In fact the subtlety of it is what makes this a nice option, it is not so "in your face". For me however, I don't use a wah that often but when I do I would like a little more "umph", something a little sharper. If you are looking for a harder wah for Tom Morello or Zakk Wylde type ... MoreI ended up returning this after a few days, but only because of personal taste.

If you are looking for a harder wah for Tom Morello or Zakk Wylde type stuff that stands out a little more I would not recommend this. The only problem that I immediately discovered was with the on/off switch, it is nearly impossible to engage/disengage without bending over and reaching under the foot control. However, if you are really interested in this pedal I would not let that deter you, because you could easily modify it by gluing a little piece of rubber under the roof. Overall I returned this because I just don't use a wah often enough to justify replacing my cry baby (also a great pedal in it's own right), and I couldn't justify this over a few other things in my "to buy" list. Others will feel different; some people like American cheese on their burger some like Swiss... etc.
Pedal came very well packed and in a timely manner. Thank you!
Well as you all know the old issues with this pedal if you reasearch it. Much has improved so it will last a long time ie... metal casing. As stated in the other post the switch was an issue out of the box. The problem is a dilemma. If the pad on the toe was not so firm you could stomp to engage the on/off switch. I called customer service and they said the double stack pad was prob a result of regular wah'ing shutting off the wah during regular use. There's a small square rubber pad behind the toe pad which hits the switch, I just put a small green-felt round stickey pad on that to bring it a touch taller and the on/off works much better now. So you'll have to fine tune the setup on this one's switch, but will be ok after you do. If you are playing at low room ... MoreWell as you all know the old issues with this pedal if you reasearch it. Much has improved so it will last a long time ie... metal casing.

So you'll have to fine tune the setup on this one's switch, but will be ok after you do. If you are playing at low room volumes you can hear the switch partially engaing on the down toe, which can be a touch distracting and could be a problem if operated near a directional mic if recording at low volumes. The pitch is much taller than a crybaby and does not ride out as flat, maybe for seated players? Takes some getting used to. Value is rated best because of what the old ones were going for on the used market. I have guitars and basses and has a switch for both which is another reason I wanted to try this wah, the value is there for this versatiliy.
there are 200 reviews out there, saying it is a tone sucker. Mine doesnt do that. it is running into a slightly overdriven channel and theres no loss in the high end whatsoever. it does muddy the tone on megaclean, but people mostly buy it because they like the frusciante tone which isnt really clean anyways. once you find that edge of breakup kind of sweet spot on your crunch channel/overdrive pedal (which has to be after the wh10, so closer to the amp) the pedal will do no significant changes to your tone. also on a clean channel it will make a huge volume jump when engaged, the slightly broken up signal will make that behave too.
