Xotic XW-1 Wah: Vintage Soul, Modern Precision

The Only Wah Pedal You Will Ever Need.

The Xotic XW-1 isn't just another boutique clone. It is a precision-engineered recreation of the "Holy Grail" wah—the 1967-1968 Italian-built Clyde McCoy. While other wahs lock you into one specific sweep and voice, the XW-1 gives you total control over the circuit’s DNA, all while saving 20% more space on your pedalboard.

The "Four Pillars" of Tone Shaping

Unlike traditional wahs with a single fixed sound, the XW-1 features four external controls to let you voice the pedal to your specific rig:

1. Bias: Changes the fundamental character of the wah. High bias offers more output and a "fat" bottom end; lower bias provides a clearer, more transparent vintage voice.

2. Wah Q: Adjusts the width of the filter peak. Sharpen it for aggressive "vocal" sweeps or widen it for subtle, funky rhythms.

3. Treble & Bass: A dedicated 2-band EQ with +/- 15dB of boost/cut. This ensures your wah never sounds too "ice-picky" or too muddy, regardless of which guitar you plug in.

Professional Features for the Working Player

• 20% Smaller Footprint: Optimized for modern, crowded pedalboards without sacrificing the tactile "feel" of a full-sized pedal.

• Adjustable Torsion: A hex-nut on the pivot point allows you to set the rocker tension exactly where you like it—stiff for park-wah sounds or loose for fast rhythmic playing.

• LED Indicator: No more guessing. The LED flashes if the battery drops below 50% and provides a clear "On" signal.

• Internal Dip Switches: Fine-tune the resonance frequency and internal gain for a truly bespoke experience.
