The Vox VRM-1 Real McCoy is a meticulous recreation of the 1967 Vox wah circuit from Vox (Korg Japan), designed to reproduce the exact inductor-based wah character of the most iconic Vox wah design — the legendary "Real McCoy" original that defined the wah sound heard on countless late-1960s recordings. It captures the distinctive nasal midrange tone and vocal cry that established the wah pedal as a standard guitar effect.
The Vox VRM-1 Real McCoy Wah is a faithful recreation of the legendary 1960s Clyde McCoy wah, the first wah pedal ever made, developed with input honoring the original creators. It is renowned for its iconic nasal voice and emphasized midrange, imparting a warm, melodic, vocal quality ideal for expressive lead guitar. Subtle modification of the inductor coils enables that classic nasal tone, and larger carbon film resistors with carefully selected capacitors deliver a warm, smooth sweep. It runs on battery with long life. Rather than a bright or aggressive modern wah, it captures vintage warmth and a singing midrange. It suits players chasing authentic 1960s wah tones, classic rock and blues lead expression, and a warm, melodic, vocal wah character in a vintage-styled pedal.
