The Technology of Wah Pedals
The stock "wah" pedal has been around since at least the early 60's. While there is a persistent rumor that an early version of a wah mechanism was found in the wreckage at the Roswell crash site, I can categorically state that the government says that this is nonsense, and that no such thing happened. It was only a weather balloon.
The Tweak-O - Joe Davisson's boost with adjustable clipping is a great beginner project. This "build-by-number" version, with lots of how-to pictures, walks a complete beginner through constructing a gig-worthy pedal. A complete kit is available. Difficulty level is beginner.

One of the most popular EMG’s the 81 is the one that started a revolution. Utilizing powerful ceramic magnets and close aperture coils, the tone was designed with detailed intensity, incredible amounts of high end cut and fluid sustain. Traditionally used in the bridge position, this pickup will make your leads slice right through even the densest mix. When used in both neck and bridge positions the sound can only be described as blistering.
