Wilson Effects Classic Wah Stack of Dimes Version

The Classic Wah Stack of Dimes Version is a wah pedal from Wilson Effects, a maker whose catalog is largely built around wah pedals and wah parts. It is a deliberately stripped-down design: the company's product page describes it as having "No controls, no buffer, no LED just vintage wah tones without the vintage price"¹. The only circuit detail Wilson Effects gives for it is the inductor: it uses dual stack of dimes inductors, the type of inductor associated with vintage wah designs¹.

What it does

As a wah pedal, it is operated by rocking the treadle to sweep a filter across the guitar's frequency range, the classic wah effect. What sets this version apart within Wilson Effects' own lineup is the inductor choice. Stack of dimes inductors are the coil type prized in vintage-style wah circuits, and this pedal carries two of them¹.

The pedal has no controls, no buffer and no LED, and Wilson Effects describes it as delivering "just vintage wah tones without the vintage price"¹. With nothing to adjust on the pedal itself, the player's foot on the treadle is the whole interface, and the maker's stated aim is simply vintage wah tones rather than added features¹.

Availability and price

Wilson Effects lists the Classic Wah Stack of Dimes Version at $139.99 USD¹.
