Up for sale is an incredibly rare piece of guitar effects history: a 1967 Maestro Boomerang BG-1 Wah-Wah pedal.Unlike the more common BG-2 volume/wah combo, the BG-1 is a dedicated wah-wah pedal known for its legendary, vocal, and ultra-smooth "wow-wow" sweep. It features the highly coveted original large white inductor, which is the heart and soul of this pedal's warm, rich harmonic tone.
See my homemade youtube video for (random) sounds.
Condition & Modifications:
- Circuit & Inductor: 100% original electronic components and white inductor.
- Current Potentiometer: The original CTS pot has been replaced with a reliable Dunlop Hot Potz, making this a perfectly functioning, gig-ready "player-grade" vintage pedal without any of the typical scratchy noise.
- Bonus / Extras Included: I am including a high-quality Joe Gagan replacement potentiometer. Joe Gagan is world-renowned for crafting the absolute best, historically accurate drop-in replacement pots specifically for the Maestro Boomerang circuit.
Cosmetics:
The pedal shows some beautiful, authentic vintage wear (scuffs and minor paint chips) that matches its nearly 60-year history, but it is structurally rock-solid. Please see the photos for the exact cosmetic condition.Why buy this one?
You get the best of both worlds: a rare vintage collector's piece that you can actually use reliably today thanks to the Dunlop pot, plus the perfect upgrade path to return it to historical specs using the included Joe Gagan pot.Shipping & Info:
- Ships safely and securely packed
- Please feel free to message me with any questions or if you need more specific photos!
