Casher as a studio player in the 1960s he was looking for effects and techniques that would set his guitar solos apart. When Casher created created a demo to show how the wah-wah worked, only one person was interested in the device it was a film composer, Vic Mizzy, known for writing the "Addams Family" theme. After hearing Casher at a demo session, he arranged for him to work on several movies in Universal Pictures. The device really got famous after Jimi Henrix first played it at Woodstock.
