The First Wah Pedal Demo Ever Made! (1967)
In this week's episode, we hear the first demo record for the Vox Wah Wah pedal. Coincidentally, we'll also discuss how Del Casher and Brad Plunkett invented the wah wah pedal, but a trumpet player accidentally got all the credit.
*Interview clips with Del Casher taken from our interview with him at his home in 2019.

Dude doing the pitch at Vox: "I guess you guys aren't ready for that, yet. But your kids are gonna love it."
Cliff Burton: “Bass solo, take one...”
N.I.B. by Black Sabbath??? That is like one of their best songs. Bass Wah.
My first wah experience: my dad yelling down to the basement "play Hendrix with it or throw it away!"
I think I’m most impressed by the fact that you could put a record on cardboard...
The genre is 60s TV rock. Whenever they had to represent a rock band on TV they used these older session guys and this is sort of what they thought rock sounded like.
That record sounds like every screen wipe edit from Austin Powers
The wah/distortion portion of the demo felt like a King Gizzard song haha
Bass Wah= "Anesthesia"/"Pulling Teeth" Metallica🤘🔥
JHS must bring out a cardboard disc demo of sounds for their next release
Great video! My uncle is Melvin Ragin aka Wah Wah Watson! Let’s Get It On, Papa Was A Rolling Stone, Car Wash countless other hit records!! RIP to Wah Wah Watson!
Kirk Hammett has entered the chat. Also, notice how on the demo disk they don't ask you to smash that like button and subscribe.
I still have my copy of this cardboard record (and the rest of the rectangular sheet of which it was originally part). It was sent to me in about April 1967 by Jennings Musical Industries. There is no chance whatsoever that Jimi Hendrix or any other rock player could have been heard using a wah pedal before Del Casher made the record in February 1967. That is because the Vox Wah-Wah pedal was not released for sale until May 1967, at least not in the UK.
“Mommy, What’s A Funkadelic?” by Funkadelic has a great wah bass breakdown.
That intro to "I Had Too Much To Dream..." TERRIFIED me as a 6 year-old; my older brother used it to chase me out of his groovy basement hippy den
Cream used a wah pedal on "Tales of Brave Ulysses" which was the B side of the "Strange Brew" 45, and the song also appeared on their "Disraeli Gears" LP from 1967. So they must have been among the first to use it?
I can't decide if I like the wah.
“My first thought is, that’s fairly annoying.”
“Acid Surf Music” I’m DEAD 😂
Geezer Butler of Black Sabbath is known for being one of the first few big bass players to use a wah
