–Change the effect’s pitch by manipulating your guitar’s tone pot.
Please Note
A few years back JAM pedals made a meaningful update to the Wahcko: They introduced a true bypass silent footswitch, prized for its ultra-reliable, noise-free performance. This footswitch requires an additional circuit, which draws more current than a traditional mechanical switch — making battery use impractical, as it would drain them quickly. As a result, Wahckos will no longer include the battery power option.
Reviews
“I’m a mad user of JAM pedals! I probably have more Wahckos than anybody in the world! The reason I use Wahckos is because of expression. The moment I played a Wahcko, the type of expression was undeniable. It was so human-like in a way that it just touched my soul.” Nile Rodgers
“I love the sweep of the Wahcko, very vocal like and sweet! What a fantastic wah!” Steve Lukather
“The Wahcko is fantastic! Now I finally have a great wah-wah pedal!” Bill Frisell
“JAM pedals make the best wah pedal of all time as far as I’m concerned. It has more dexterity than anything else. Best wah-wah I’ve ever had and I’ve had a bunch of them!” Richie Sambora
“The Wahcko is amazing. Ive never actually owned a wah before because I always found them a bit underwhelming but this is very grimey and musical!” Ruban Nielson
“I absolutely love it! Beautiful job! Every setting on the switch sounds great and the vocal sweep is perfect. Finally, finally, after all of these years a wah I will actually use and not want to sell or destroy!” Julien Kasper
“The Wahcko exhibits a rugged, broken – in maturity. It sounds like a sweet old wah with lots of miles on it and provides superb tone-sculpting choices for clean and distorted amps!” Vintage Guitar magazine
“One of the best of its breed” GUITARIST magazine
