When I first joined the Chili Peppers Ibanez was really friendly and gave me the wah pedal along with two or three guitars. I played the guitars for a while but the band—by which I mean Anthony and Flea—was totally against it, and so when I switched to playing Fender Stratocasters I smashed the Ibanez guitars on stage just to make them happy—but I definitely kept the wah pedal! How John Frusciante Got His Red Hot Wah Tones You should get an instant answer on whether your application has been successful, though in some rare cases Klarna or V12 may need to look at the application in more detail. The only redeeming quality of this pedal, like the original, is that it sounds quite good. However it's not a clone of the original with some added features, it is a different pedal altogether (though it sounds quite similar).

It’s worth noting that John uses the vintage models, which are made of plastic ( the newer version is metal) and are easily breakable. In the interview above John mentions that he broke a few and was left with just one at the point when he left the band after Stadium Arcadium. I have an Ibanez wah-wah pedal because it has a wider range than the others. I use a Fuzzface and a Boss distortion pedal, and an MXR phase shifter, and that’s about it.

The one I was sent had a switch that gave out after just a few weeks of heavy daily use (no mishandling). The switch chosen here is probably just the wrong one for the job. There's a little chairfoot-like cushion bit over the switch that comes off extremely easily and has to be reglued. Previous versions were beta testing compared to this new premium version of the Ibanez WH10. Sturdy build, funky sharp wah-wah sound and functions you can't normally find on Wah pedals in this price range. To me, this iteration is for sure, the most satisfying the WH10 will ever be. Great for funk, blues and even metal (Hendrix, Frusciante, even Vai). As far as the origin story, John was given this pedal by Ibanez, alongside two guitars, all of which he used for a brief time when he first joined the band in 1988. He ended up smashing the guitars and keeping the wah. On the side of the pedal, you can control the amount of Wah effect coming through with the level knob, and a tone switch which switches from high to low.
