Vintage Spec Wahs
Welcome to the Vintage spec wahs page. You may be
wondering what "what do you mean vintage spec?" Vintage
spec means that the components that we put into these
particular pedals are either,
nos or new old stock components or they are what we like to
call work a like or matched replacement parts for the originals.
As many of you know nos parts can be quite expensive but
we try to buy them in bulk in order for you the customer to
receive the benefits with out the outrageous increase in price.
Here is a little about what goes into our vintage spec line of
wah pedals.

We use only the highest quality carbon composition resistors
available today.
We use original nos capacitors such as tropical fish capacitors
when available. ( at this time we have quite a hefty stock of
these available for either style of pedal.)
We try to match the exact values of components used in most
vintage pedals.
We use replica halo inductors as with all of our pedals.
Included with this style of pedal we include an ultra bright  led
on/off indicator.
We also use the highest quality parts available today just as
we do with all of our other pedals.

Many people believe that the reason vintage pedals sound so
smooth and warm is because of the parts that they used to
build these pedals with. That's why here at Wilson Effects
we've decided to put out a vintage spec line. So whether you
believe in the magic of vintage tone or if you just believe that
there is no other mojo like vintage mojo at least now you have
the option.
You may order any wah with the vintage wiring option found in
the store including bass wahs. Sorry but the led option is not
available on kits.Scroll down to find out more about the
