Xotic debuted the XW-1 wah at NAMM 2015. Inspired by the 1967-1968 Italian-built Clyde McCoy wah, the XW-1 was designed to serve up classic tone but with some modern enhancements like the self-lubricating nylon bushings, gold contact relay with true-bypass switching, adjustable Wah-Q and bias controls, 2-band EQ, low-battery alert, a fuzz-friendly buffering circuit, and smaller footprint.
