Ibanez WH10V3 Wah Pedal

The Ibanez WH10V3 takes the cult classic WH10 wah and refines it for modern players, while keeping the touch-sensitive sweep and vocal character that made the original so sought after. With dedicated guitar and bass modes, a unique multiple feedback op-amp circuit and a handy volume boost, it is a flexible, expressive wah that feels at home on any pedalboard.

Housed in a rugged die-cast aluminium alloy chassis with a sleek black finish, the WH10V3 is built for the stage. Selectable true or buffered bypass lets you tailor how it interacts with the rest of your rig, while simple, intuitive controls make it easy to dial in everything from subtle movement to dramatic filter sweeps.

Iconic Wah Tone With A Modern Twist

The WH10 series has long been a favourite for players who want something a little different from the usual inductor-based wah sound. By using a multiple feedback op-amp circuit, the WH10V3 delivers a smooth, vocal sweep with a distinctive, slightly more hi-fi character. It responds beautifully to your picking dynamics, making it ideal for expressive leads, funky rhythm work and everything in between.

Ready For Guitar And Bass

A dedicated range switch lets you choose between guitar and bass modes, instantly shifting the wahs operating frequencies to suit your instrument. Guitar mode focuses the sweep in the sweet spot for chords and solos, while bass mode preserves low-end punch and clarity so your lines stay full and defined. If you double on both instruments, the WH10V3 can cover both roles without compromise.

Built-In Volume Boost

The WH10V3 includes a useful volume boost so your sound does not disappear when you kick the wah on. Whether you are stepping forward for a solo or cutting through a dense mix, the extra level helps your tone stay present and articulate. Combined with the Depth control, it gives you plenty of scope to match the pedal to different amps and gain levels.

Selectable True Or Buffered Bypass

With the flick of a switch you can choose between true bypass for the most direct, uncoloured signal path, or buffered bypass to help maintain high-end clarity over long cable runs or large pedalboards. This flexibility means the WH10V3 can slot into virtually any setup while keeping your core tone intact when the effect is off.

• Multiple Feedback Op-Amp Circuit - Instead of a traditional inductor design, the WH10V3 uses a multiple feedback op-amp circuit to create a smooth, vocal wah with a distinctive tonal flavour. This gives you a more modern, articulate response that still feels musical and expressive underfoot.
• Guitar/Bass Frequency Range Switch - A dedicated switch selects between preset frequency ranges optimised for guitar or bass. This ensures the wah sweep always sits in the right part of the spectrum, keeping guitar parts focused and bass lines powerful and full.
• Selectable True Or Buffered Bypass - Choose true bypass for a completely direct signal when the pedal is off, or buffered bypass to help preserve your tone across longer cable runs. This makes it easy to integrate the WH10V3 into a wide variety of rigs without sacrificing clarity.
• Durable Die-Cast Aluminium Construction - The sturdy die-cast aluminium alloy enclosure with a distinctive black finish is built to withstand regular gigging. It protects the circuitry inside while providing a solid, confident feel underfoot every time you engage the wah.
