The Rippah Q-Wah is designed for players who crave ultimate tonal flexibility, whether you prefer the vintage quack of a 1967 Clyde McCoy wah, the deep throaty tones of a Macari wah, or the synth-like depth of a modern wah. With easily accessible control knobs, dialing in your perfect wah tone is just a turn away.

Unlike standard wah circuits, the Rippah Booster Wah has a more pronounced throat and growl in the low end, making it ideal for cutting through a mix. If you prefer a smoother, more controlled sound, you can easily tame the growl by adjusting the controls. Offering nearly every wah tone imaginable, this pedal is a powerful tool both in the studio and on stage.

​

Key Features:

  • Sweep Control: Located at the front of the pedal, this adjusts the depth of the wah sweep. Maxing it out adds throatiness, while dialing it back softens the effect.
  • 12-Position Q Switch: Allows you to shape the Q range, from deep, synth-like growls to sharp, envelope filter-like tones.
  • Growl Knob: Positioned at the heel, this control adjusts bass and gain response. Whether you want deep, resonant throatiness or a pronounced wah quack, the growl knob helps fine-tune your sound.

The Rippah Booster Wah comes standard with a built-in fuzz buffer, ensuring it works seamlessly with fuzz pedals. Inside, a small blue trimmer provides volume control, allowing you to set the output at unity gain or boost it for searing leads—though excessive boosting may amplify circuit or amp noise.

​

Premium Build Quality:

Hand-built in the U.S., the pedal features NOS Mullard Tropical Fish capacitors, carbon composition resistors, and BC109B transistors for rich, vintage tone. Equipped with True Bypass and a bright side-mounted LED, you’ll never accidentally leave your wah engaged. It also includes a Wilson Effects vintage taper wah pot, precisely modeled after a vintage ICAR taper pot for an authentic feel.

The Rippah Booster Wah operates on a standard 2.1mm center-negative power supply or a high-quality alkaline battery. Each pedal comes with a one-year warranty covering parts and labor.
