wah-wah pedal
Guitarist's voice box
A wah-wah pedal is a guitar effects device operated by foot, producing a distinctive sound that mimics a human voice saying "wah." Rocking the pedal back and forth sweeps through frequencies, creating the crying, vowel-like tone heard in funk, rock, and psychedelic music: He kicked on the wah-wah pedal for the solo.
