CHICKENFOOT's SATRIANI Talks About Making Of 'Big Bad Wah' Pedal

July 15, 2009

VOX recently sat down with CHICKENFOOT guitarist Joe Satriani and talked in depth about the making of the "Big Bad Wah" dual-mode wah pedal. Watch the chat below.

The "Big Bad Wah" dual-mode wah pedal is the third effect pedal created in collaboration between Satriani and VOX. With two wah modes and some unique features, it delivers a wide range of wah sounds.

"Big Bad Wah" is one in a series of pedals designed by VOX and Satriani. Joe contributed numerous ideas that were unheard of in existing wah pedals, endowing the "Big Bad Wah" with an unparalleled range of sounds from vintage to modern, as well as those that are totally original. The heart of any wah pedal is the "inductor." The "Big Bad Wah" allows you to select between a vintage U.K.-style inductor, and the more modern USA style. Designed to Joe Satriani's custom specs is the design of the pedal pot itself, delivering a smooth, musical tone throughout the entire sweep of the pedal.

Big Bad Wah features a dual-mode design. Wah One faithfully replicates the classic VOX wah sound that conquered the world.
