(*chrome vox top option available for $35 add-on, see below )(THIS new version conatins all ITALIA V2 specs, plus the D & D mod) SPECIAL DEREK & the DOMINOs live voicing, we had several requests to mimic this unique clapton 1970 wah tone, and now we offer it for you. "ITALIA" wah. the filmcan ( some say trashcan ?) experience. Months spent designing, testing, computer simulatings, measuring original filmcan inductors and more; this resulted in capturing the elusive, rainbow-like, 'SQUISHY' tone that wah freaks consider one of the best classic wah tones of all time -- the late 60s italy made jen/vox V846 'filmcan' inductor wah. wah aficionados everywhere have praised the authenticity of the tone of this great pedal. read the raves at 'gear page' , 'DAM forum' and many other guitar forums. features: - in adddtion to the standard italia V2 tuning, DEREK &the dominos live voicing sockets for the frequency setting. you can make it lower or higher voiced for your specific taste and setup. we send the wah with the exact setting we feel is the closest to the DEREK &the dominos live voicing., but you can experiment and always revert back if you like. - absolute minimum of parts used, for the most pure signal path. compare to other ''vintage style' or boutique wahs, we simply have the lowest parts count around. -new handwound gagan inductor replicates the inductance, Q, resistance and harmonic sweetness of the filmcan originals. you must play it and feel it to truly appreciate the response! - input and bias trimpots to allow tailoring to single coils, humbuckers, varying signal chains etc. TONE MOD kit with extra parts included** + our 'over the top' customer service to advise you any time a question comes up. -specially selected NOS and new parts for pure vintage response. - each wah tuned by joe gagan in the final setup process, using marshall & fender tube amps with a great strat and 2 humbucker ( LP style) guitars. This assures that every italia has that near-perfect 60s tone that made the early voxes famous. this is not an assembly line wah! - low gain vintage npn transistor@ Q1 for era-correct tones. - all carbon comp resistors ( exc input resistor ). - BIAS trimpot, for setting the growl and more tuning of the lows. -high quality military grade PCB. nice upgrade from the 60s originals. Original vox layout and board size. -famous STUART CASTLEDINE icar replica 100k wah pot- gets the true vintage tone due to the carbon construction. Modern plastic pots do not sound as warm in our tests. OPTION: UPON REQUEST power supply jack. no charge. you must message at checkout, ** notes on the tone mod kit: stock values in sockets- best for all around humbucking OR single coils =100k input cap w/ .001 cap. the 'gagan tune'. extra parts you can swap in to change the response: -75k (louder), -120k (less loud than stock) - one of these go in the first socket pair in place of the 100k. 470pf ( less pronounced highs enhancement than stock, OR you can also leave the cap socket empty for a more pure 60s vox type tone, which has less defined low end, less harmonics) - please contact us if you need any assistance, we are always happy to help. soundsamples on youtube - SEARCH " f-KY8lY8S2o " -( ITALIA compared to REAL 69 vox V846 with filmcan ) OR search: ' hMUJaov-YaQ ' (humbuckers on music man sterling) NEW SOUNDCLIP, marshall and fender amps with hot strat. , search ' 47CQ2T8TvKo ' or, message us for the direct links.
