DunlopJH1D Jimi Hendrix Signature Wah Pedal
funkrock
1/6
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Jimi Hendrix signature wah pedal. A foot-swept filter for players chasing sixties rock and funk phrasing rather than a neutral modern wah.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Rock rhythm and lead players wanting vocal, expressive sweeps
- Funk playing where the wah rides steady sixteenth-note chords
- Building a pedalboard around a classic Hendrix-era sound
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Bassists — this is voiced for guitar frequency range
- Players wanting adjustable sweep range or Q controls
- Tight pedalboards; wahs take significant real estate

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01How do you turn a wah pedal on?
Push the toe of the treadle all the way down until the internal switch clicks. Doing it again bypasses the effect. There is no separate on/off button.
02Where should a wah go in the signal chain?
Most players put it early, right after the guitar and before overdrive and distortion. Running it before dirt gives a more pronounced, vocal sweep.
03Can I use this with a bass?
It's a guitar wah. It will pass bass signal, but the filter sweep is voiced for guitar frequencies, so low notes won't respond the way they would on a bass wah.
04Does it work for funk rhythm playing?
Yes. Rocking the treadle in time with muted chords is a core funk technique, and this voicing suits that as well as rock lead work.
