AMT Electronics: WH-1 "Japanese Girl" JFET Wah

http://www.amtelectronics.com

*I think I talk about "...no battery.." in the video: This is NOT the case. The WH-1 can indeed be powered by a battery. Just remove the two screws at the rear back plate and insert the battery. My apologies, Sergey!

10 reasons why I love this wah...

1. It's small
2. It sounds great
3. It doesn't mess with Germanium fuzzes or anything else down the signal path
4. It's called 'Japanese Girl'
5. It has 3 selectable band frequencies
6. It has no volume knob so I'm not worried about unity
7. It is 9-12V DC powered - *or 9V battery!
8. It's easy to use
9. It will fit snuggly on my pedal board
10. It's built like a weapon and will be very hard to break

No, I'm afraid I do not know where you can purchase one. You will have to consult the website. I know there's one dealer in Japan, but that's all I know. Sorry!

so chi wah wah or this?

[Burgerman666]

@azwel No competition: this. I've retired the CAE-404 also. 

[GuitarGare]

Please tell me flat out, and bluntly, why they call this "Japanese Girl"?

I'm REALLY curious.

[Burgerman666]

@GuitarGare I have absolutely no idea. It may be just referring to 'small and cute' or something like that, but I really don't know, nor have I asked. Interesting thing is, the first major stockist was a Japanese dealer and he's not complaining. And for the record, I've been using it on tour for the last few weeks. I may never go back to the old style. It sounds great and I got used to the size very quickly.

What's that song at 2:58?

[Burgerman666]

@rockonmady That's my shabby attempt at the riff from David Bowie's "All The Young Dudes."

[DangerPenguin]

A wah at that size, with that sound, at a cheap price...

That's dirty.

[sigurdguitar]

Classic to play "woman from tokyo" on a pedal called Japanese girl!

Sounds great btw. looking forward to finding out where to buy it!

[MyLifeChanger]

[Flamewalk]

Thanks for not playing the whole "Sweet child":))

[Searchin4tone]

Great Demo! Can I buy this in the US?

[Dannioful]

Hi, it works with potentiometer inside (like Cry Baby wah) or with led/LDR (like Morley pedals for example)? Thanks

[rockonmady]

@Burgerman666 Thanks man!
