Blended from circuit-archetype lineage, dynamic feel, tone-signal overlap and tone-vector distance — the tone vector itself is derived from editorial description text, not a measured acoustic signal, so this reflects how similarly the catalog copy describes the two, not a lab measurement.

The Carl Martin 2Wah is a dual mode wah pedal that lets you switch between two completely different wah voices on the fly by pressing the back of the rocker treadle. It offers six wah models in total, three low and three high voiced, selected via two three position switches, so a player can set one classic vintage sweep and one modern or more aggressive sweep and toggle between them mid song. Built to Carl Martin's high standard, it covers everything from smooth vintage squawk to sharper, more vocal modern wah. It suits funk, rock, blues and lead players who want the flexibility of two distinct wahs in a single rugged enclosure without swapping pedals.
The Vox V847A is a reissue of the classic 1960s and 1970s Vox wah, delivering the same vocal growl era rock guitarists relied on, with a warm, throaty character that's slightly darker than many modern wahs. As the treadle rocks, the sweep morphs smoothly between a low-pass and high-pass filtering character, almost analog-synth-like in its motion, giving it real vocal expressiveness on lead lines. It suits rock, funk, and blues players wanting an authentic vintage Vox wah voice for both cutting leads and clean, funky rhythm chop.
