Area 51 Wah (All Options)

$319.95 https://www.prymaxe.com


Say wah? Thassright - wah baby! Big, bold, badass wah wah. That wah tone you've been searching for.... That wah wah tone that makes you think of John Shaft walking down the street....That wah tone you've heard on records but could never seem to get.

Vintage-inspired....but better! That's what you get with the Area 51 Wah.

Here's the deal: Not all vintage wah wahs were created equal. Some are downright magical, and some are, well.......let's just say "less than inspiring". One of the keys to building a "magical" wah, is understanding those things that make it "magical" in the first place. Equally important, is how to make it repeatable. That's what you get with the Area 51 Wah.

If the sound you are looking for is vocal, dimensional, and vintage flavored - that's what you get with the Area 51 Wah.

Each one is built by hand, one at a time for YOU. It's built with the best parts, and built to last a lifetime. Here's what you get:


Standard 2.1mm DC Jack with filtering and regulation - compatible with pedalboard power supplies and any other "Boss" type 9VDC, center pin negative supply wallwart.


True Bypass wiring - Won't alter your tone in bypass mode.


REAL old-style switchcraft jacks - chassis mounted (not the board mounted plastic ones - no way!)


CTS/Area 51 Icar 100K pot - the best built ICAR taper pot around.


Handmade at our shop in Newaygo Michigan, USA


Carling 316-PP footswitch (non-LED wahs)


3PDT footswitch on LED equipped wahs


Each board individually voiced for consistency


Hand-wound Area 51 inductor


Top quality components, selected for tone


Buffer - This add-on circuit board allows you to

run the wah in front of a fuzz face type pedal. Running them in that order gives you a more "natural" wah tone, rather than the nasally fuzz-wah tone that you get when running them the usual way. Normally, you cannot go from a wah to a fuzz - the low impedance of the fuzz "loads" the wah, causing it to not work properly - if at all. This board solves that.

Quack Control - This controls the smoothness of the sweep, or....the Quack. All the way down for super smooth - all the way up for mega-quack. About 1/3 of the way up is the stock Area 51 setting.

Growl Control - This one is useful for those of you who want a very clean wah tone. It's a "subtractive" control - meaning it removes growl. Growl is that clipping on the low notes that you get with a wah when it's rocked back into the bass position. The stock Area 51 setting is full up.
LED - Bright blue LED - side mounted for good visibility.
