For guitarists chasing dynamic, hands-free wah tones with classic charm, this original Steve Vai signature wah is a standout. Designed with Steve Vai’s input, it features an optical, switchless design—step on to engage, release to bypass—making it both smooth and durable. The Bad Horsie voicing delivers pure, vintage Steve Vai tone. A built-in buffer preserves clarity in pedal chains, and rugged steel housing ensures stage-worthy durability.
