Coupled with a decent fuzz pedal, the Ibanez WH-10 Wah effects pedal is one of the more highly regarded wah pedals to come out of Japan. Can be mellow or grindy, great for overtones. Clean it’s lovely, with distortion it’s nasty!

Manufactured by Maxon. On the down side it has a plastic body and the construction is poorly thought out (so it is difficult to get inside to work on). This pedal also suffers from needing something like Boss’ Line Selector (LS-2) to deal with white noise being somewhat of a problem on higher gain settings.

There is one up for sale on Yahoo auction. You can check it out here. It is a black version so it isn’t cheap – it is going for almost 60,000 yen!
