Johnny Hiland Kilo-Wah

Johnny Hiland, a solo artist signed to Shrapnel Records, has been the session player of choice for Toby Keith, Ricky Skaggs, Janie Fricke, and Hank Williams III. Johnny has also long been the show-guitarist of choice for Paul Reed Smith Guitars. Johnny first heard the Gig-fx Kilo-Wah at Musikmesse in Frankfurt, Germany, and he liked it so much he bought one on the spot and later agreed to lend his name to this custom version of the pedal to meet his demanding tone specifications exactly.The pedal was designed to have the same huge tone as the Mega-Wah but simpler to use with less controls to worry about.

This is what Johnny has to say about the gig-fx Johnny Hiland Signature Wah pedal:

“I am SO excited, and proud, to see the release of my new JH signature KILO-WAH! Gig-fx has built me the perfect Wah pedal that matches my playing in versatility. My pedal is lightweight, and is very user friendly with no on/off switches to worry about.  It features a big bright LED that even a blind boy can see on stage. The four Wah effects, built in, offer a nice sweet tone with a deep sweep. My pedal is just simply awesome!!!!  Gig-fx ROCKS, and the proof is in the pickin.’ Go out, and put a Gig-fx JH KILO-WAH under your foot today!!!!!  It’s a wah stompin’ good time!!!!!!!!”
