From Our Research Team:

Plug into Boutique Wah Tone, at a Great Price

The Bud-Wah puts classic wah tonality into your rig, without sacrificing your guitar's clarity. The Bud-Wah features a tight tone sweep, so you get a very vocal-sounding wah; no ear-piercing highs with this wah! The Bud-Wah is built from the ground up to give you a very musical, very expressive playing experience. And when you switch this true-bypass pedal off, you know your pure signal integrity is maintained. You get boutique-quality components, top-notch workmanship, and road-ready reliability from the Bud-Wah!

Budda Bud-Wah Wah Pedal at a Glance:
  • Voiced to perfection
  • Hard-wire bypass
  • Boutique-quality components

Voiced to perfection
At bass settings (heel cocked back), the Bud-Wah's tone is thick and honky without losing clarity of the note. Fully depressed, the highs have been rolled off to a frequency that isn't piercing like many wahs. The overall tone sweep concentrates on a tight and focused range with outstanding vocal like quality.

Hard-wire bypass
The folks at Budda incorporated a hard-wire bypass so that the effect is completely out of the circuit when switched off. This allows your signal path to remain pure and in no way compromised like vintage style wahs. Add a full ground plane board for noiseless operation and a newly designed beefed up switch and you will see why many of today's top professionals rely on Budda for their signature sound.

Boutique-quality components
The Bud-Wah's custom coil inductor is a modern and enhanced version of the original Italian Fazel inductor found in the '60s Crybaby pedal. This enhances the voice like effect of the pedal and is the mojo behind Budda's signature sound.

Budda Bud-Wah Wah Pedal Features:
  • Tight and focused range for a very vocal-like sweep
  • Hard-wire bypass
  • Quiet operation
  • Boutique-quality components
  • Built road tough

The Budda Bud-Wah pedal puts a boutique-quality wah within your reach!

Absolutely amazed by the personal service on our order! It is obvious customer satisfaction is a priority. Your company would be the first place we would look for music related items. Great prices, great service and BTW, even the little touch of adding some candy made my kids very pleased! Thank you!

I thought this would never arrive, but it finally did and now I'm happy as a clam.

I'm very impressed with this pedal. I've had one for a while now and just LOVE IT. It has a range that you just cant find in a stock vox and way better than the crybaby. Very versatile, wide range,... read more [+] no piercing top end, great for chords or single note expressions. A bit pricey, but if you can afford it, its the best one available. close [-]

This is my first wah pedal and my first purchase from Sweetwater. Great customer service. Love the pedal, slight volume boost, so it will stand out when you solo. No tone suck and a tight vocal sweep.

Really really NICE

I've been playing for 30+ years and this wah is by far the best I've owned/used to date. The sweep is wide, the lows are tight and the highs do not sound thin or shrill.
