      Fulltone Clyde Standard Wah Guitar Effect Pedal (475531)
Availability:  


The wah that Hendrix and Clapton used in the '60s.

Clyde McCoy was a big-band Trumpet Player in the '60s... not a great musician, but one famous for getting a muted wah wah sound. This led to Vox trying to approximate this muted trumpet sound in a guitarpedal... hence the Vox "Clyde McCoy" wah wah circa 1967.

Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton used a Vox "Clyde McCoy" model wah wah. Photos taken during the recording of Electric Ladyland document Jimi's as being the "signature" model, featuring Clyde McCoy's name written out script style on the bottomplate. The other type of Clyde McCoy was the "picture" version, which had Clyde's photo on the bottomplate. The "signature" model, with it's great sounding "halo" inductor, is what the Fulltone Clyde standard wah effect pedal is modeled after.

The Fulltone CLYDE wah pedal was born from taking the best of the best of Fulltone's vintage Vox wah collection, and analyzing every aspect... going so far as sacrificing a few of the vintage inductors to get it right.

Our Inductor is a tuned core handmade unit using exactly the same type wire and inductance as the '60s-era Vox, except very consistent from one unit to the next. A tuned core inductor is much more expensive to make, but the end result is worth it. Drop this into your wah and experience the difference. The only change from the original '60s Vox design is the addition of a very usable internal Resonance Control which is a large durable trimmer, for bass and gain adjustment, which is easily adjustable by hand without tools and with room to mark your favorite settings.

All 2008 Fulltone's CLYDE Standard wah pedals sport the most authentic '60s Vox-type inductor available, which happens to also be the quietest.

With our Guaranteed Lowest Price, you can be assured of complete satisfaction and the lowest available price, or your money back!

  • Clyde "Standard"

    As reviewed by Jason on 5/19/2010

    I've played all the wahs, and Fulltone beats everyone hands down. This is a great pedal if you need it for one song or a hobbyist. But there is a better pedal out there, the Fulltone Deluxe. I had the standard, but months later bought the Deluxe because it has all the options I need to take names live. It is like upgrading from a Ford Fiesta into a Mustang. If you like experimenting, throwing different sounding wah voicings into your music, this pedal is not for you, dish out the extra money and buy the Fulltone Deluxe. But either way, if you need a wah, don't even look at other brands, True Bypass for tone freaks and built like a tank, Fulltone did it right

  • This is pretty much the best wah you can find!

    As reviewed by Jacob Fusek on 5/20/2010

    This is the best sounding, and best quality wah on the market. It's parts are top notch, and it is hand-wired. It sounds fantastic for those classic jimi hendrix style wah sounds. Another thing I love about this wah is that it has a very wide sweep range, and internal controls making this pedal very versatile.
