Citation/mention fame — how often this gear is cited across artist rigs and gear discussion.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 Wylde Audio Cry Baby is Zakk Wylde's signature wah pedal, a Dunlop Cry Baby variant voiced for aggressive, vocal high-gain leads with a wide, pronounced sweep. Built for metal and hard rock, it delivers a sharp, cutting wah that stands out under heavy distortion, favored by players chasing Zakk Wylde's screaming Black Label lead tone.
