Boss PW3 Wah Pedal

PROFESSIONAL TONES, COMPACT DESIGN
All PW-3 analogues deliver a pro wah tone, a space-saving design that keeps valuables on your pedalboard. The latest development by BOSS, the PW-3 Rich mode features a unique wah sound that maintains low-end definition and perfection with a distinctive wah sequence. Want a more traditional tone? Simply turn the rear-panel switch to Vintage mode for that classic wah vibe.

Unlike other pedals that sacrifice feel and function when resizing, the PW-3 strikes the perfect balance between practice and play. The die-cast aluminum chassis is solid and provides a strong barrier, and the long, smooth pedal action is very responsive and with great feel. Another problem with downsize pedals is that it’s hard to tell if the effects are in the on/off position, because your feet are blocking the view. The PW-3 provides a solution to this by presenting a status LED on each side of the pedal, making it easier to see the effect when the wah is activated.

• Two switchable voicings for a modern or vintage sound
• Compact and pedalboard friendly design
• Legendary BOSS reliability
• Two switchable voicings for a modern or vintage sound
• Wah sounds like wah…right? Wrong! There about as many wah pedal designs and voicings as there are guitars. Generally guitarists fall into one of two camps. You tend to either perfer a new finely-tuned sound with ultimate clarity, or you want that classic sweep of some of the most classic wahs in history. The PW-3 gives you both! Its unique Rich mode retains low-end fullness, eliminating the thiner tone of other wah designs. Flip the rear-panel switch and now you’re into Vintage mode for that familiar classic wah sound.

Compact and pedalboard friendly design
One drawback to wah pedals is that they are almost always pedalbaord hogs. Some companies have fought this with smaller designs. But unlike other pedals that sacrifice feel and functionality when trimmed down, the PW-3’s streamlined design strikes the perfect balance between practicality and playability. Its die-cast aluminum chassis is solid and substantial underfoot, and the long, smooth pedal action is highly responsive and feels great.

Legendary BOSS reliability
What is there left to be said about the reliability of BOSS effects pedals? There are literally players that have had the same BOSS pedal on their board for over twenty years, without any modifications or repairs. The PW-3 wah pedal is absolutely as tough. For products that are intended to be stomped on, they better be built to take it night after night, gig after gig, stomp after stomp. The BOSS PW-3 wah pedal definitely is.
