Tech 21 initially introduced two Killer Wail wah pedals in late 2024 that were sold directly through their Private Stock division. Given their success, there are now three Killer Wail wahs which are going into full-scale production for worldwide availability: the Killer Wail v2, the Richie Kotzen Signature RK Killer Wail, and the Killer Blue Wail for bass.
The Killer Wails not only preserve the indelible tonal integrity of vintage wahs, they overcome their all-too-familiar shortcomings, such as excessive noise and unreliable mechanical parts. Utilizing light sensor technology, there are no clunky pops, no irritating scratching sounds, and no pots to wear out and replace. Machined from solid billet aluminum, the heavy-duty housing will provide long life —on and off the road.
To faithfully reproduce beloved vintage wah sounds, the Killer Wails utilize a specially-designed filter, rather than a simple band-pass or low-pass filter. It not only changes the frequency, it also changes the Q, which is the sharpness of the filter. And unlike guitar wahs, the Killer Blue Wail for bass keeps the low-end intact. While the Killer Wail v2 sports a traditional treadle, both the Richie Kotzen Signature RK Killer Wail and the Killer Blue Wail feature a spring-loaded rocker. It returns the treadle to its resting/bypass position when you remove your foot from the pedal and automatically engages when you press forward on the pedal.
Operable via standard 9V alkaline battery or optional Tech 21 DC9 power supply. Measures 3.375"w x 8.0"l x 1.75"h and weighs 24 oz.
