Behringer launch the WahWah – an all-analog take on the ’60s wah

Built around vintage-style parts in a pedalboard-friendly footprint, it's aimed at players after the classic sound without the fuss.

Behringer has added a vintage-style wah to its ever-growing pedal line with the WahWah, an all-analogue take on the classic ’60s sound built around a halo-style inductor and a custom taper sweep.

Catch up on all the latest news here.

The voicing follows the authentic ’60s template that made the original wahs so distinctive, with the halo, or “holy grail”, inductor doing much of the work behind that vintage-inspired tone. A custom taper potentiometer smooths out the sweep, so the movement from heel to toe feels gradual rather than abrupt, which suits the subtle, vocal-style phrasing a good wah is known for.

Everything sits in a full metal casing that Behringer has built for life on the road, standing up to rehearsals, sessions and stages without complaint. The compact footprint helps too, taking up less room on a crowded pedalboard than many older wahs.

True bypass keeps the pedal out of the signal path when it’s switched off, so your tone stays intact. Power comes from a 9-volt battery for standalone use, with the option of mains through Behringer’s PSU-SB supply, though that’s sold separately.

Wah pedals have barely changed in sixty years, and Behringer isn’t out to move the dial. The WahWah goes after the feel of the originals instead of reinventing it, in a compact metal-cased package for players chasing that classic sound without the fuss.

It lands in Australia in October 2026 through Australis Music Group.
