Zakk Wylde ZW45 Signature Wah Pedal

The Dunlop Zakk Wylde ZW45 Signature Wah is one of the coolest sounding Wah's out there.
The main reason I picked up one of these is because I never liked the lack of sweep I got out of the standard Dunlop Crybaby. This one has got a bigger Wah sound to it, and when you press it all the way forward, the high end cuts right through and you can really make your guitar wail.

So far, it has also proven to be more reliable than the Original Crybaby, although all of the rubber feet have come off the screws at the bottom. Not the biggest deal, and totally fixable, but I can't help but feel annoyed by it.


Thanks to Jimmi at Rogers Music Centre in Toronto, he said "Hey why don't you give this a try?". That's all it took, and after comparing it to a few other brands, I was sold!

This pedal comes with an adjustable torque clutch that allows the user
to control the amount of resistance the rocker has to being moved. The
adjustment is located under the rocker at the heel of the pedal. By
placing the rocker toe down and looking under the rocker heel, you
can see an adjustment allen head screw. By turning this screw
clockwise you can increase the rocker torque and conversely,
counterclockwise decreases the rocker torque.
