How we ranked these wah pedals

Every pick ranks in Amazon's best-seller list for its category and has a listing with real specifications. The order mixes two things: how each model compares on the specs below (higher share of the best value in this group scores more), and how widely it is bought. The spec score runs from 9.0 to 9.8 and only compares these picks with each other. A spec the listing does not state is left out and the other specs are re-weighted; a listing with fewer than 2 stated specs is scored at half. We do not test gear in person. Full method.

  • True bypass weight 2
  • Runs on batteries weight 1

Buying advice: wah pedal for fuzz

Put the wah after the fuzz

Order decides how the pair sounds. The Caline sweep is especially expressive when placed after a fuzz pedal, so start with the fuzz first and the wah after it. The Electro-Harmonix pedal lets you place its fuzz before the filter or after it, so you can hear both orders in one pedal and keep the one you prefer. Try the fuzz-first order first, then swap the order and keep the one that gives you the sweep you want.

True bypass keeps the dry signal untouched

True bypass means the pedal passes the signal untouched when off. The VOX and the Caline have true bypass, so the dry guitar tone stays clean when the pedal is not in use. The Morley uses a buffer instead, which protects the tone. Check the bypass type before you buy, since it decides what happens to your signal when the pedal is off.

Match the pedal to the fuzz you own

A wah that pairs with fuzz is the need here, and the pedals here answer it in different ways. The VOX is built for pairing with fuzz, the Caline is built for fuzz-driven styles, and the Morley and the Electro-Harmonix pedals put a fuzz circuit in the same box as the wah. The JCT95 adds a filter mode beside the wah and fuzz, with separate Volume and Q controls for each mode. Pick the pedal whose fuzz route matches the fuzz you already own: a wah to pair with it, or a box that holds both.

Frequently asked questions

What does true bypass do on a wah pedal?
