The Dunlop Jimi Hendrix JH-1 Wah is a signature wah pedal designed to recreate the vocal, vowel-like sweep Hendrix used to define psychedelic-era wah tone, built on Dunlop's Cry Baby wah heritage. It delivers a wide, expressive sweep range with a voicing tuned for the searing, textured wah character heard across Hendrix's recordings, aimed at players wanting an authentic vintage-inspired wah experience tied directly to one of the effect's most iconic users.
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.
