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.
The Vox V847 is a faithful interpretation of the original classic wah pedal that Vox introduced in 1967, closely based on the Clyde McCoy-branded model of that era. It delivers vintage-style quack with an expressive, vocal sweep that suits classic rock, funk, and blues, working well with both clean and distorted tones. Its voicing leans retro, with a certain clarity rather than the punch of more modern wahs, and modern versions add a buffered input and optional AC power for improved usability while keeping the classic sound. Durable, simple, and classic-looking, it offers tones straight out of the late 1960s. It suits players wanting an authentic, affordable vintage wah for expressive lead and rhythm playing, capturing the original Vox wah character in a road-ready pedal.
