The AW-3 is a highly sophisticated autowah, adding that little bit of wow factor to your performance without so much as flexing your ankle. The AW-3 boasts a number of wah tones you'll recognise pulled from records over the years, as well as a unique humaniser effect to emulate vowel sounds. 

In the connectivity department, the AW-3 boasts an expression pedal input (for traditional control of the wah using your foot) and a bass guitar input, since Boss know bassists want in on that funk as well.

Renowned Boss build quality

Boss pedals have a reputation for being built like tanks. You can be sure that however much you drop it, kick it, throw it and jump on it, it'll still come back for more. These pedals constantly survive the rigours of rock 'n' roll touring, and that's why they're seen at the feet of top touring pros everywhere.

Reliability really can be affordable to all. Boss are so sure their compact pedals last the test of time, they cover them with a full five year warranty.

In the current JustPedals catalogue, Boss is represented by Multi-Effects Pedals, Delay Pedals and Distortion Pedals. Current listings include PW-3 Wah, PX-1 Plugout FX and FZ-5 Fuzz. That makes the range relevant to players looking for drive, gain and clipping, plus time-based effects and ambience. Check each model for its exact circuit or processing platform, controls, power requirements and connections, particularly where the catalogue includes both pedals and supporting gear.

Wah & Filter Pedals

Wah and filter pedals move or emphasise a frequency range to create a vocal sweep, resonant peak, cocked-wah tone or envelope-controlled response. A treadle wah is controlled by foot position; an auto-filter follows playing dynamics or a control source. Sweep range, resonance, Q, bias, input loading and bypass all change the feel. Check whether the circuit prefers to see the guitar directly, how it handles bass or synth signals and where it should sit around fuzz, overdrive and modulation.

Bass

Bass products are designed or voiced to retain low-frequency information and usable headroom with bass guitar or other low-register sources. Controls may centre on clean blend, low-end EQ, compression, crossover points or drive character. A guitar pedal can sometimes work well on bass, but it may remove the fundamental or compress the transient. Check the frequency response, input impedance, output level and dry-signal path with the intended tuning and amplifier.

Vocal

Vocal products process a microphone signal with harmony, reverb, delay, doubling, pitch correction, distortion or tone shaping. Microphone type, phantom-power handling, input gain, footswitch control and balanced output are as important as the effect list. Check key or scale settings, monitoring, feedback control, dry-signal routing and the intended PA or interface connection before using a vocal effect on stage.
