Description
The ZW45 is Jim Dunlop’s collaboration with Zakk Wylde, engineered to be one of the toughest wah pedals you can put in a signal chain. Where standard Cry Babies chase versatility, this one is dialed in specifically for high-gain rigs — the internal circuit is voiced to push a thick, aggressive midrange that cuts through stacked distortion instead of getting buried in it. Rock the treadle back for vocal-like sweeps on leads, or park it for an instant tonal boost during solos.
- Voiced to Zakk Wylde’s own specs for a thick, cutting wah sweep suited to metal and hard rock lead tones
- Heavy-duty raw-metal casing built to take a beating from stage-diving stomps night after night
- Road-worthy internal components for long-term reliability under touring conditions
- Includes two free 6″ patch cables for quick, tidy hookup on a pedalboard
Placement-wise, this wah earns its spot at the front of the chain, before any gain or distortion pedals, where its aggressive voicing has the strongest interaction with your amp’s drive. For guitarists building a metal or hard rock board who want a wah that can survive real-world abuse without sacrificing bite, the ZW45 delivers Zakk’s exact tone in a pedal that’s genuinely gig-tough.
