First introduced by Vox in 1967, the Wah-Wah pedal was initially created to emulate Clyde McCoy's trumpet mute technique. However, an unintended but music-changing use with electric guitar turned the Wah pedal into a legendary tool for artists such as Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton. The VRM-1 recreates the first ever wah pedal, renowned for its iconic nasal tone. It accentuates the midrange, imparting a warm and melodic quality for expressive lead guitar playing that underscores the articulation of each note.
