The Friedman No More Tears Gold-72 Wah is a premium wah pedal delivering vocal, throaty wah character with user customization options not found on standard wah pedals. A three-position sweep switch hidden under the treadle selects between different sweep voicings. An Allen screw under the heel adjusts treadle tension to taste. Switchable buffered bypass and true bypass modes are both transparent. Covers Hendrix-style vocal wah, cocked nasal resonance in the Schenker tradition, and expressive sweeping lead wah.
The Vox V847-A is the modern reissue of the classic 1960s Vox wah, the circuit that defined the wah sound heard across countless 60s and 70s rock recordings. It produces a dark, throaty, vocal sweep with an almost analog-synth quality, seeming to morph between low-pass and high-pass voicings as the treadle rocks. Compared with brighter modern wahs it is nasal, intense and in-your-face, sitting slightly darker overall. The reissue stays faithful to the original tone while adding a redesigned inductor that brings it closer to vintage spec, an input buffer to prevent tone loss in bypass, and AC power compatibility. It is an affordable, well-built classic-voiced wah for rock and blues lead and rhythm.
