The Friedman Gold-72 No More Tears is a premium wah pedal designed to deliver vocal, throaty wah character with extensive user customization. A three-position sweep switch hidden under the treadle allows selection between three different sweep voicings. An Allen screw under the heel adjusts treadle tension to individual preference. Switchable between buffered bypass and true bypass operation. Covers Hendrix-style vocal wah, Schenker-esque cocked nasal tones, and weeping lead wah sounds.
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.
