The Tech 21 Killer Wail v2 Wah Pedal is built to give you the character of classic wah circuits without the usual noise and maintenance issues. Instead of relying on mechanical pots that eventually crackle or wear out this updated design uses light-sensor technology to keep the sweep smooth consistent and completely silent. The result is a wah that feels alive underfoot while staying clean and dependable making it a great fit for players who want vintage tone with modern reliability. Machined from solid billet aluminium the housing is built for years of gigs rehearsals and home sessions without complaint. Inside the Killer Wail v2 is a custom filter designed to emulate the full behaviour of an old-school wah shifting not just the frequency but also the Q for a more expressive musical sweep. It reacts naturally to your playing and gives everything from subtle movement to full-on vocal attack. The pedal can also run on phantom power from compatible Fly Rigs keeping your board tidy and hassle-free. With a compact footprint and a tonal character that nails the classic vibe the Killer Wail v2 brings authentic wah feel in a rugged modern package.

Tech 21

Tech 21 is a well-respected company in the music industry, particularly known for its innovative guitar effects and amplification products. Founded in 1989 by musician and engineer Andrew Barta, Tech 21 gained prominence with its groundbreaking product, the SansAmp.

This analogue amp emulator was revolutionary because it allowed guitarists to achieve tube amplifier-like tones without using actual tube amplifiers. The SansAmp became a staple in studios and live performances, appreciated for its ability to provide versatile tones, from clean to high-gain, all in a portable, pedal-friendly format.

Over the years, Tech 21 has expanded its product line to include various other effects pedals, rack units, and amplifiers, maintaining a strong reputation for high-quality, analog-based products.

One of the key aspects of Tech 21’s success is its commitment to analogue technology, which many musicians prefer for its warmth and responsiveness. The company’s product line includes popular pedals such as the Fly Rig series, which combines multiple effects into a compact, travel-friendly unit, and the Bass Driver DI, a favourite among bassists for its ability to enhance tone and provide DI capabilities for live and studio applications.

Tech 21’s dedication to innovation and quality has made it a favourite among professional musicians across different genres, including notable artists like Geddy Lee of Rush, who has collaborated with the company to create signature models. With a focus on both practicality and exceptional sound quality, Tech 21 continues to be a leader in the world of guitar effects and amplification.

Wah & Filter Pedals

Wah effects sweep a resonant band-pass or related filter through the frequency spectrum, creating the vowel-like movement associated with the treadle. Envelope filters move automatically in response to picking level, while fixed and sequenced filters use other control sources. Sweep range, resonance, direction, sensitivity and input loading determine whether the response is vocal, percussive, smooth or sharply synthetic.

Vocal

Designed for microphone-level signals and the frequency, dynamics and feedback behaviour of the human voice. Input gain, balanced connections, phantom power and pitch tracking may be provided so effects respond correctly before the signal reaches a mixer or PA.
