Overview

Available here is a 1979 BOSS TW-1 Touch Wah, Made in Japan with an early Silver Screw and serial 8800.

Introduced in 1978, the TW-1 was Boss’ first compact touch sensitive wah pedal and remains one of the more distinctive effects from the company’s early Japanese production. Rather than using a treadle, the TW-1 responds to your picking dynamics, producing expressive auto wah sounds that work beautifully for funk, fusion, blues and classic rock. Early Touch Wah Black Label, Silver Screw examples have become increasingly desirable amongst vintage Boss collectors and are far less common than later T Wah versions.
